Talk:Strikeforce:Meme Dinner

Plans

To-Do

1. now: Look at Nate's community centre
2. 1-2 hours, Oct 9: Finalize list of all dishes
3. 2-3 hours, Oct 10: Itemize ingredients to form giant shopping list
   • Meme Dinner Ingredients
4. 1-2 hours for rough estimate, Oct 11: Price out the ingredients so we know how much to charge
   • On second thought, it'll probably just be $20/seat.
5. 2-3 hours, Oct 11: Talk to everyone to sell seats
6. 3-4 hours, Oct 12: Buy a few ingredients and test-run some of the harder dishes
7. 6-8 hours, Oct 11-13: Clean the space and hang signage
8. 4-6 hours, Oct 14-15: Plan for entertainment
   • Music
   • Projector with meme images
   • Get someone to spend some time around the dinner with a video camera
9. 3 hours, Oct 16-17: Buy all ingredients
10. 6-8 hours, Fri Oct 19: Prepare the semi-perishable sauces and confections. Marinate things
11. 2-3 hours, Fri Oct 19: Clean the space again. Install accent lighting
12. 4-6 hours, Sat Oct 20, 11:00am-6:00pm: make most of the dishes
    1. Cook vegetables and other parts early on, store until needed
    2. Cook the things we know will need reheating
    3. Combine the cooked ingredients into their final forms directly before loading vehicles and serving
    • (Travel time? No more than ten minutes. When do we start serving? Survey of acceptable dinner times.)

Brainstorm List

• Why? What's important?
  • Funds
    • We're not expecting too much profit, but every little bit helps
    • If we get $20/person for a $10-$14 meal (depending on what dishes they go for and how much they eat), that's $6-$10 per person, and if we get 30 people that's $180-$300.
  • AMichael just wants to cook for some reason?
  • Boosting the Cookbook project
  • SkSp community and culture
    • I think this is the most important
• What would be going on?
  • Use a projector or more to play meme slideshows or videos
    • Trololo sing-along?
  • Use the sound systems with the videos and for meme music
  • A buffet-style line-up of food based on memes or with meme-based puns.
• Places!
  • In SkullSpace
    • Brings people to the space, and creates that shared culture
    • Might be a bit dingy
      • Cleaning will help a lot!
      • Also, good accent lighting
      • The place will be transformed for the event
      • This would affect the space itself
    • I'll get some matching cutlery sets. We have plenty of plates (And I can bring some in).
    • How would we cook?
      • We wouldn't be able to actually make everything there, without a stove and oven.
      • We could use someone's nearby house or a community centre
    • In the classroom
      • Lots of light and space
        • Except it'll be dark by then
        • The lights are kind of garish
      • Right by the kitchen
      • Would the charity buildathon be held there? Or in the workshop?
    • In the lounge
      • Very comfortable
      • It's the most social spot in the space
      • A bit difficult to eat
        • But a table could be put in, too; there's way too much space
      • We could set up the food buffet-style right in the lounge
      • Random people coming to pick up buildathon machines wouldn't even need to see us
  • At someone's house
    • It would be nice, and personal
    • Really depends if it's central
    • Only if we don't have many people
    • If we only get a few people, this would actually be a very good idea.
  • At a community centre
    • Is it a good one?
    • Could be as dingy as SkullSpace would be
    • Is it central?
    • Could be really nice
    • Good kitchens
    • Would we get dishes?
