National Gaming Day Debriefing, or How One Library Hosted a Big Event: in ten installments, Chapter 3

NGD@JPL DDR

NGD minus 8 days: Make and distribute more fliers, altered four times in two days to include more donors and partners, especially Imagination Station for donating $111. worth of cool board games for the event. Also place plea for DDR, second Wii guitar, and volunteers on flier. Learn that the owner of Super Smash Bros. Brawl is selling Wii and all games to Hastings to make rent. Play middle man between Wii owner and library director through texting (it is after hours.) Use Cha-Cha and Google SMS to obtain values. Brave and fearless director gives me the go-ahead to purchase Wii for $160. and commits to finding money for it by Friday. I write personal check for Wii. Lovely daughter who works at Times-News agrees to deliver check and pick up Wii (and the games my husband bought for our Wii) on tomorrow's lunch break. Drinking coffee and popping mints all day long. Still fighting library flies.
