What the hell is that you may be asking, well, we are not exactly sure. We are probably talking about some huge mutant vegetables and fruits in typical bodega setting, maybe some more mutants thrown in just for fun, and the space is a huge industrial factory, 30 ft. ceilings.  There are cranes, sandblasting rooms the size of a small house, welders, torches and other weird crap made of steel. Did you hear me, there are cranes, lots of them, we can hang stuff off the cranes, like the DJ.  Oh and did I mention we have to heat the place somehow. This will be the most bizarre IS183 event yet and thus we need your creative input, lots of it.

Anyway, since we are not working with the typical four square walls as in the past, I thought we should invite some of the decorating crew from past events to take a look at the space. If you can make it and are interested in helping out, let me know, we are meeting there this Friday at 9:00 AM.  The party is in March, so nothing urgent has to be done at the moment other than look at the space and dream stuff up. Should be a quick meeting just to see the space. Let me know if you can make it.

You are on this list because you have either been fabulously creative on past IS183 decorating committees or are interested in helping this year. If you don’t remember building the four horsepower motorized chicken in 2008, this is all the more reason to get involved this year. It’s mid February, your skin is white, it’s time to get out of the house and do something fun with someone other than your kitty cat. The Hairball promises to be another bizarre party held March 14 Feb 11th at the new Shakespeare theater. We have lots of ideas for things to be constructed, glued and painted. We need to make crazy wigs and all sorts of things. So we are having a meeting this Wednesday night 7:00 PM. Please attend if you can, it will probably be the last meeting we have. However if you can’t make it, we will happily hook you up with a project. Please RSVP one choice below:

a) Yes I will be there Wednesday night, however I do not want to make a four horsepower chicken.

b) I can’t make it, but would like to help and am good at:___________________________ (making stuff, painting, sewing, gluing, conceptual ideas, writing copy, lighting etc.)

c) I have no interest in your ridiculous party, I like my white skin and 2 close friends
