Drive In Fundraiser Countdown...

So, we're now within a week of the fundraiser and it's close enough to the date to check the 10 day report on weather.com. Right now it looks like we have clear skies until Friday, the day of the fundraiser, and then they're predicting a 30% chance of precipitation...It could be worse, and it's still early but if anyone out there has a special relationship with the weather gods, I'd appreciate you putting in a good word for GTTP and our attempts to bring in some funds for our next production.

Also, Steph and I had a meeting with this wonderful little restaurant/wine shop in the East Village and we're about 75% sure we're going to do our winetasting fundraiser on October 10th. If it works the way we're planning, it'll be a great afternoon. It will start around 2pm and there will be 8 or 9 wines to try, all with a selection of bread, cheese, meats and bruschetta/salads. John and I went to a winetasting fundraiser at this same place a year and a half ago and it was a great day all around. Hopefully the GTTP winetasting will be similarly great. As soon as the papers are signed and we're definitely a go, I'll send out emails/invitations/facebook posts...but in the meantime, keep October 10th free.

To Recap:

If the Drive-In goes well and the winetasting happens, we'll have about 20% of our next show's budget in the bank and we'll be heading in to the fall/winter in really good shape.
