Day two - 2011

I promise I am not going to have a huge entry each day of prep. I decided to do this blog because each year I can't seem to find the right way to describe what Unprom is exactly. I know for some it is just the event, and that is great. But for many it is much larger and that is what I can't seem to get into words. The blog seemed like a way to archive this event for the kids while also serving as a way to explain this ritual to someone who has never done an Unprom.

Day two was great! Just a few families were able to come but much was accomplished!


My goals for this year are:
  • Be more organized
  • Follow each project from start to finish (where possible) before beginning something else
  • Screen shirts early in the process
  • Keep everyone as informed as possible
  • Keep a blog
Today the Bringus boys (Chris included) joined in the paper machmayhem and helped to finish some clocks. The clocks used to be word bubbles which used to be clouds which used to be hieroglyphs. Who knows what they will become next year.


None of the paper mache could have been completed without all the paper tearing that was done by Kay and Susan (bummer, no photo). Not the most glamourous work but certainly an essential task! Plus there is no goo to wash off before dashing off to have the braces tuned up :)

Mike and Christy both came by to give aid and ideas. Many of you remember the story of Mike coming to our house in Kearney, measuring the barn once, and then arriving on the day of setup with a 2-story tall Sphinx with glowing red eyes. The whole things fit into the entrance of the barn without a hitch. Last year he constructed the amazing limo that graced the entrance of 2010: A Reel Odyssey.

Christy has been busy designing the prototype for this year's invite. I got a sneak peek at the end of last week and was wowed! I can't wait for you to go to your mailbox and find this gem.

Ann stopped by to talk about her plans for the souvenir bags for this year. A really nice surprise is in store for everyone's hauling needs this time around. All paid members get a souvenir invite. Those who RSVP for Unprom by the deadline get a bag & cd as well.
Ooo this is going to be fun! - Thanks for a great day everyone :)
