Super Bowl Party
Cindy was proud of the festivities she'd set up.

The game was projected onto one wall of the huge atrium the party was taking place in, with plenty of comfy seats facing it. It was only polite, after all.

More important was the food. Tables of chips, veggies, wings (with three different types of dressing), muffelettas (it's a New Orleans occasion this year. Thematic), and chili rolls. Cindy was especially proud of the chili rolls; there was one row marked 'Regular' and one row marked 'Queen' The latter row had a stack of pens and informed-consent waivers in front of it.

There was also a small end table full of party favors for everyone. In celebration of commerce, they were $10 gift cards, each for somewhere she thought fitting for the person the card was marked for.

Cindy likes parties.

	Jai laughs and calls out. "Sorry Cindy! Trying to dot i's and cross t's here! Thorough is better than not. And of course you're too smart to sneak fine print past Tess, that's a given. Otherwise we'd be checking you for being an imposter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Now that that's been said and everything signed, meet the primary investment. Cindy is doing the primary backing and production costs for our first two projects, and then she can decide if she wants to continue investing or back out.

Anyway, profits may struggle some for a while because a portion of proceeds are going to charity. Some to Tess' neighborhood watch program, some to charities decided by our employees, but anyway...

Project number one is a 'good girl' art calendar. All superheroines in skimpier versions of their normal costumes and colors, and selling both the calendar and a 'making of' video, with interviews with the girls in the calendar costumes, talking about their home cities and charities, as well as giving people a little bit of a look into the people... and, of course, superheroines in bikinis. No nudity or the like, but... yeah... easy, low cost, travel would be worse, except, well, speedsters. Something to drum up some interest, prove our business model and connection to charities, and indicate we can handle this, so we can maybe get real interest and more investment for science fiction."

Jai nods along as he listens. It all seemed well planned out, to be expected really given the people involved so far.

"Sounds great Steven. And really, charities is the best reason for profit struggling anyway. But yeah, travel costs, set up times, shipping of equipment and the like are all going to be almost a non-issue, should leave more for the charities and profits that way. Great start up idea, well actually, great idea in general, but specifically a great one for a first project. Shouldn't be hard to do, and it's certainly attention grabbing and girls in bikinis is never a bad thing. So, you got your first set up crew and whatever odds and ends you need on board right now," he says as he hands back the base working rate paperwork, signed of course, to Steven.

"Well, that's sort of it. We have a principal photographer end film editor, we have a lead producer, we have legal, and a little help. We also have several models, hoping at least 10 will stay committed. We have some locations. But we don't have any crew. I was kind of hoping you'd be up for a lot of set up, carrying stuff, moving, lighting... as well as maybe helping with some of the interviews. I'm going to ask Jo Kent to be our primary interviewer, give her some media face time, since she wants to go into journalism, but there's plenty of room there. Where we're critically short at the moment though is stage crew."

	"Don't worry, I'm good for all that. Fast is good and once we get a system down and figure out what works it'll be even more efficient. Great to hear Jo's involved, no trouble helping her at all. I think you've got your stage crew here. Don't think you're going to be critically short anymore, and if Iris is on board too, even less so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2013-02-03 06:28 am UTC (link)
	"Iris is one of the models." Steven replies, a little curious how he's going to take that. "She came to the first meeting - signed on right away. Don't worry, I'll let Jo interview her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Really?!" Jai can't help but laugh in disbelief. "I was going to say I'm surprised that I haven't heard that before but...I just signed part of the reason why and Irey knows I'd tease her. Though I think if anyone other than you asked it'd be harder to get her to agree to that."

"Jo's going to be doing the interviewing anyway, and if you want Irey to keep a straight face and give a decent interview you might not want me too close around. Gotta pack that girl extra sunscreen."

	"Yeah, exactly. Tess has the list of who has requested different months so far. We'll get some more commitments and start shooting once I've talked to Jo. Then July is going to be a group shot, with one more in December if we only have 10." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Group shots are a great idea, really brings it all together too. Do you have any idea when you're planning on starting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sort of. I need to hire us a hair and makeup person, and have someone in mind. Then I need to talk to Jo. As soon as either they're on board, or we find someone else if they're not, we'll start location scouting. Petra has offered Warriors, but we need a number of different locations. So you and I are going to do a tour of America to find the perfect spots... that will not charge licensing fees."

	"Sounds like you've got most of the planning done, just a few pieces to put in place first. Tour of America is pretty much what we do anyway, so I'm definitely on board for that. Give me a call whenever you're ready to start that part. And anything else of course, you know I'm all for helping you out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2013-02-03 07:09 am UTC (link)
	"We'll be doing it soon. The next step will be a planning meeting with you, Iris, Tess, Cindy and myself. We'll start the initial layout planning, and then we can do location hunts once we know what we're looking for. We can do the meeting sometime next week." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fastasyoucan 2013-02-03 07:19 am UTC (link)
	"It's a plan then. I'll make sure I'm free next week for it. Gotta say, really looking forward to this." He raises his own drink to Steven. "Cheers." "Cindy really throws a party." Then, because he knows she has the acoustics of this place down, "Thanks for the invite Cindy!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2013-02-03 07:21 am UTC (link)
	He raises his drink, and nods. "I'll give you a call to set it up. Have a planning session over dinner. We'll have the lists of the models there. Hopefully everyone will have some ideas. Anyway, looking forward to it... and yes, yes she does." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll leave you to scope out more business prospects, we'll catch up for sure though. I think this is going to turn out well Steven." (Reply to this)(Parent)
