<br />
So as you may know, during <b>Dare Nite: Lockdown</b> there will be ghost stories performed by <i>The Torontonians</i> and an especially eerie true story about the Gladstone Hotel itself. While me and Isabel were rehearsing our stories in the office, a Gladstone rep popped in and told us that a group of kids just stopped by to take shelter in the ballroom from the thundering rain outside. She invited us to go downstairs and give them more information about our event as they were awing our <a href="http://bit.ly/MB7S2Y" target="_blank">poster</a> while entering the building.<br />
<br />
Annie gave us the idea to test out our story telling skills to the kids and give them a demo of Dare Nite: Lockdown. Down in the ballroom we shut all the curtains tightly and turned off all the lights. However, we did keep a flashlight below our chins to creep the kids out as we told our stories. The ambience of the whole room was almost chilling. You could faintly hear the rain hit the windows in the background, plus the air conditioning just happened to vamp up the atmosphere even more.<br />
<br />
I personally thought me and Isabel did a fantastic job at scaring the children! Most of them tucked their knees below their chins and listened intently with wide eyes. After we were done, a couple of children from the group shared their stories, and even their councillor told a true story she experienced herself. It was a great feeling to hear others share their stories, and even be a little scared myself.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to hear our stories you gotta come over to <b>Dare Nite: Lockdown</b>! <i>Who knows, they might just come to life during the night..</i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340884956756939361.post-24145832164048626462012-08-02T13:21:00.006-04:002012-08-02T13:21:41.506-04:00NEW PROMO VIDS WITH KIAM AND NERUPA!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">From our last meeting we’ve discussed a portion of DARE NITE
LOCKDOWN in the event's very own space (The Ballroom), which is the Pizza Dinner! We talked about introductions and how to
grab our audience and SERIOUSLY scare them. It was a slightly heated
conversation just throwing ideas to and fro. I realized how tough it is to
actually get things done! You need some serious focus and little distractions.
It must be some sort of superpower…In the end, what we were thinking of for the
transition to some pizza involved *<b>SPOILER ALERT</b>* a beautiful garbage
bag, some pizza sauce and the freaky Mr. Darren O’Donnell! I don’t want to give
too much away to our viewers because hey, they might come and know what’s
happening! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The other things we discussed were setup for the Pizza and
“background noise.” We’ll be showing a lot of videos for the beginning of Dare
Nite Lockdown, especially our promo videos! Like this one:</span></div>

So today we are well into our third day of editing the promo videos that we shot, so far they have all turned out very nicely which you can definitely tell after seeing Sanjay's video . The videos are all thematically connected, teens who go on with their daily lives are kidnapped by a creepy middle aged suited man, their struggle to escape from his clutches and whether or not they are successful forms the crux of the plot. The videos are separated into episodes..stay tuned for the other episodes and don't forget to check out Sanjay's... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX_unNagEHM</div>

So yesterday we spent hours filming our promo videos for our event, <b><u>Dare Nite: Lockdown Edittion</u>.</b> The day before that, we spent our time in the office sketching out story boards for the scenes. I kinda spent more time then I needed to as I got caught up with making it look <i>“perfect”</i>, or at least to my standards.</div>

OFFICE THINGZ :) With Torontonians :PUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340884956756939361.post-39842471652979651252012-05-29T19:04:00.000-04:002012-07-16T23:14:19.926-04:00SHADOWING-AHASHAight so i'm at the library all alone on a mac..supposed to be doing my homework right now but screw that. Anyways this blog post is long overdue.<br />
<a name='more'></a> As of today I'm done my 6 hours of shadowing 3 with the big boss man at gladstone Alec and then 3 with Zoe and Caleb.<br />
<br />
So going into shadowing I really didn't know what to expect. I was going to be shadowing Alec Bradley the general manager of the hotel, the man who makes all the big decisions, the man who controls all the money and makes all the executive decisions. Before I went the only other person who did any shadowing was Ngawang Luding. Not knowing what to expect I decided to ask Ngawang. He told me they asked him bare questions about the event and what not.. that scared me because honestly I couldn't remember anything and so I went in hoping that I don't look like a dumbass in front of Alec. So anyways I went in talked to the receptionist and then waited for Alec. Once Alec came he took me to a meeting that he was running late for. The meeting is somewhat similar to ours in that its a debrief all the various departments come and report on the past week and talk about upcoming events. When we got there the meeting was already over. At the meeting I noticed that Alec asked a lot of questions..i mean like every 2 seconds non stop anyways after the meeting we head up to the ballroom he got me a fancy looking Coca Cola and then our meeting officially started.<br />
<br />
At first Alec briefly told me about what his job was with the gladstone what he does on a daily basis. He told me that its the budget and administrations job to look over everything and make sure things go smoothly. He also said that it's pretty common if all your coworkers think your an asshole and that no matter how great an idea can be it is my job to say no its over the budget you must go back and change the idea. Then he talked about how the budget isn't as fixed and stern as it seems its's actually very flexible. For example if i gave 2,000 dollars to the marketing and they only needed 1,500 i should use the excess to fulfil the needs of another aspect for example tech. After the brief overview on the general managers job we started to go in-depth into our event. This was where I noticed something about Alec, he's a pretty keen business man he knows all tone ways to try and make a profit out of anything. One of the worst mistakes I made was that I didn't actually know if we wanted a profit or not but if we do he gave me a lot of ideas to use. Anyway that was how my first blogging went me, Alec, my coke, his coffee, and me asking bare questions for 3 fucken hours :)<br />
<br />
My next shadowing was with Zoe and Caleb. I was with Sanjay and we discussed about things that we can do to publicize our event. We talked about all the different types which is usually effective to advertise our event. They said that apart from social media and posters maybe a youtube video and a part in the gladstone newsletter can do some advertising of our event. After this they showed us how to do chainmail and then a newsletter. Soon after we started to think of tweets that can be sent out each week and hashtags we could use. Once we completed all the serious business we had some casual conversations and they even put up a video me and gnawing made for school on the gladstone blog.<br />
<br />
Ultimately shadowing was a very good experience all the there gladstone employees I worked with were very chill and easy to understand. i learned a lot from the 2 sessions and hopefully I can use this to make our event that much better. pce nigggaaaasss :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340884956756939361.post-28402981146794944332012-05-16T01:20:00.000-04:002012-07-16T23:16:37.469-04:00Shadowing.Yo. This is Virginia here! One of The Torontonians involved in the year-long residency at The Gladstone Hotel. It's like almost 1:30 in the morning and I'm bored. So I'm going to talk about my first day of shadowing today. To be quite honest, I was scared. I really didn't know what to expect. There's this thing with me where I can't stand being with someone I don't know alone. I get all disgustingly awkward and it's terrible. But whatever, I gotta deal with that. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Other members that have done their shadowing already told me all their person did was talk - but it was really informative for them. So I come into The Gladstone and asked the front desk for the person who I was going to be with. Which is Angelina Williams, the Sales Manager of the hotel. The name Angelina completely slipped my mind. I'm not good with remembering names, so I really had no idea who I was going to be with. When I saw her, I instantly remembered her. I was intimidated at first. I mean, she was wearing a fab outfit and walking in her heels as if they were flats or something. I can't for the life of me walk in heels. Oh man, I came today dressed like a bum because I just wanted to be comfortable. She's a total fashionista! I also met her friend, who also looked totally fabulous and rocked wearing her heels too. Shit man, I gotta step up my game next time. She took me to the basement of The Gladstone first just to get some things. Let me tell you, the basement is COMPLETELY different from what you see upstairs! Haha, it looked like a dungeon! Not necessarily in a bad way, but they weren't your typical offices.<br />
<br />
We couldn't stay in there because of a meeting going on, so we went outside to take advantage of the beautiful day and chatted. As I got to know her, I wasn't so intimidated anymore. She gives you a really good vibe which makes her perfect for her position. What Angelina basically does is she tries to get people from all over to get to The Gladstone. She's responsible for booking rooms for her clients. She fills her head up with the hottest spots in Toronto where she can meet soon to be clients. She hits up the hottest thing going on at the moment and introduces herself to all these people and letting them know about The Gladstone and how they differ from other hotels. It sounded really fun to me - I mean, basically partying, going to all these events, exploring the hot spots in Toronto and so much more. Although, she told me it's really time consuming and that sometimes she just wants to kick and relax at home. She told me a bit of her back story and how she got to The Gladstone. She's got a killer job. You don't meet many people that actually enjoy their job as well.<br />
<br />
My shadowing today was really chill and I enjoyed that. It ended earlier then expected though. She told me that most of her work happens in the day time, so she couldn't really show me what she does because it was too late. She told me that she'd definitely tell me about anything that's going on so maybe I could stop by and see it for myself. But anyways, I'm going to end this off before I type even more. I have a tendency to type waaaay too much. But yeah! That's how my shadowing went!<br />

We stayed in the small, but charming town of Inverness. <br />
<br />
<strong>Our location:</strong> right by the sea.<br />
<br />
What were we doing there, you ask? Well, it's this <span style="font-size: 10pt;">little</span> experiment called <b>Night Walks With Teenagers.</b> <br />
<br />
If you are familiar with the works of <b>Mammalian Diving Reflex</b>, you can see its diversity and uniqueness. <br />
<br />
<strong>Example:</strong> Hair Cuts by Children, Parkdale vs. Queen West, Eat The Street. Just to name a few,<br />
<br />
Night Walks is no different. Several Adults mixed with a horde of hormonal teenagers rented a gigantic van (sounds sketchy? Don't worry, nothing bad happened!) and set off on the trip to the east coast. The trip was not only long but also smelly (thanks to some anonymous boys, you can only imagine how many times we had to open that sorry excuse of a window) but overall...everyone enjoyed it. <br />
<br />
When we finally arrived in Inverness our actual plan was put into action...chilling at the beach! (Hey! the trip was long ok?) <br />
<br />
But don't worry. We eventually got work done, met the teens, the older locals and even some visitors from Toronto! And the name, is not just for show, we planned and went on 3 lovely walks during our week there. A beach walk, a forest walk and a town walk, this was of course all done during the night as the title implies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2A-p-0F4OHQ/T4dtTZrh5wI/AAAAAAAAAA4/qkrit3EUWt0/s1600/313416_1917216659268_1507550236_31515730_3317337_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2A-p-0F4OHQ/T4dtTZrh5wI/AAAAAAAAAA4/qkrit3EUWt0/s320/313416_1917216659268_1507550236_31515730_3317337_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Now let’s get to the real reason I’m writing this post, not for the past but the future. As you may have guessed, this experiment was a success, of course there were some minor problems, nothing in life is perfect but 90% of the trip was wonderful! Which is why this summer of 2012, we are heading off to Leeds, a city in the UK. Yes, you heard me, the UK! <br />
<br />
Last summer, it was all about wilderness...but this year it's about the city! We are currently in the planning process, last year we had a guide...but this year we are all by ourselves can we make this trip even better then the last, it's going to be hard...but definitely possible. <br />
<br />
What adventure awaits us in Leeds...keep yourself updated and find out!<br />
