CWAJ Printshow

As you all know, I joined a women's group last year. Well, sometime earlier this year, I agreed to be the Hospitality coordinator for our annual Printshow. I must of been smoking some crack, because I had no idea how much work it was going to be.

So I had to leave Austin fast because that week was the opening night reception, which I was in charge of, followed by the entire Printshow during the weekend. Turns out, I agreed the year, we moved to the new building and the guest list was insane.
I ended up planning the reception for about 120ppl because that was how many showed up last year. Apparently this year, with the move to the new TAC building and probably everything that has happened in Japan, the attendance increased 3times. The opening night ended up with 300ppl, way more than we expected and I did not have nearly enough money for drinks and light appetizers for that many people.
However, in the end, it all turned out well and I was so excited when it was over, so were my feet, as I spent 6 hours running around making sure everything was smooth in my heels.

The actual Printshow went really well and the cafe, which I was also in charge of, also went well. I finally managed to get Mike to come by on Saturday evening, as he returned from TX, that Friday. We did buy a print and I was so happy how it turned out. It will be a great reminder of our time here in Japan



On a lighter note, I'm so glad that the Printshow is over, so I can relax now.
