Kicking off the Spring

March 7th-27th

In the midst of the Spring semester fun, we held some pretty awesome events. Since this is the middle of the semester, we kept it simple and fun as far as events go. We started off this month with Coffeehouse, which is exactly how it sounds.

Coffeehouse 

This was an event that gave students the opportunity to get on stage to share their poetry, music, etc while enjoying some coffee. Not only did we provide our own coffee brewer, but we also chose the venue (Rams Den) that provided Starbucks. It was a calm event that students enjoyed. 

Like a lot of our events, this one required some sound set up which we have a special guy for. That was no different for our next event which was Karaoke Night. 

Karaoke Night 

This event was a really good time, again, I was lead programmer for this so I was in charge of gathering all the materials needed which required me to create sign in sheets for contestants. We also had a special guest, Araya Sparx, who is a drag queen that participates in our annual drag show every year. She hosted the night, which was a form of cross promotion as our Drag Show was coming up next. 

What I Learned

I learned that it is important to place events, especially when working with a specific audience, on days that people are available and are more likely to come out. We also have to take time into account, it can't be too late of an event (when people are home and in bed) or too early of an event (when people are still in class). This is specifically for events that require you to show up, and not a walk through event.
