Thing 4

4. June 2010 Project

I've decided that the music video idea for each of these projects will have to wait/be scrapped. It wasn't the purpose of them anyway; the purpose was to DO a project. And I've been holding off making entries until I could make videos, which may never happen. So...

June's project was starting up an OBCZ (my first one). The OBCZ wasn't my idea, but I was excited to spearhead it. The shelves are at the Crystal City Sheraton in Arlington, VA. I spent some time on the Wayback Maching Internet Archive, trying to find the old OBCZ sign (finally found and printed a bunch of copies of it) and I bought a clear, plastic holder to display it. I made a number of trips to stock it during June:

5. July 2010 Project

My July project was to create goal posts for Quidditch. I've been wanting to make proper ones for several years now. When I was down in Florida at Infinitus (Harry Potter convention) I took lots of photos of the goal posts. I also contacted the International Quidditch Association and got height specifications.

Thing 6

6. August 2010 Project

I really wasn't sure about what to do for August. My August has been pretty crazy, what with BrickFair (lots of LEGO creations/projects) and the BookCrossing UnConvention in Boston. Considering I pretty much ran out of time in the month, I decided to consider my presentation for BCinDC and the BookCrossing 2011 Convention my project for August. I put together goodie bags for convention-goers. Some of the items in the bag were ones my co-organizers gave me, but most of it was my own. I created a postcard, printed labels, made party invitations, bought candy, and stuffed 50 bags full of items.
