Subject: RE: more thoughts on SAM/Benaroya


Hi all,

Here is the latest scoop,

Here is the deal I have just negotiated (as I have hoped, planned and
promised in the various emails sent to you guys earlier, if you read them
..). after i talked to the college associte dean/lecture series, my
colleagues at Design Machine Group, etc is as follows:


1. UW (college + DMG) will pick up the tap, total of $3000 to Greg Lynn,
provided that:

  * all PR material from space.city will clearly marked UW & space.city
    co-sponsoring the event

  * the postcard/poster/annoucement from space.city will include the
    space.city sponsored DMG demo event, being featured under the same
    unbrella of 'Digital Design' or 'Design Technology' or 'Design
    Computing' (as a series) - win-win for UW and Space.city

  * UW's Dean, or a couple faculty (associated dean, or DMG director) will
    be invited to do short introduction before the talk

  * Greg will spend an hour or so at UW campus, either quick walk-through
    or seeing student work, or whatever (no workshop, Greg was specific
    that he will only do a lecture)

  * that there will be 7-8 seats reserved (for free) for UW people to join
    the dinner (if this is not possible, UW will only chip in 2,500 and
    reserve $500 to pay for dinner, therefore, space.city will need to
    chip in $500 to make the $3000 all inclusive to Greg

  * all UW students should get in for free (as for faculty, whatever
    space.city thinks is reasonable)

  * space.city will deal with the site arrangements, rental, ticket sales,
    annoucement, PR, etc.

  * UW likes the dates of Nov 6 Benaroya for Greg, and Nov 5 SAM (100
    people lecture hall) for DMG event
    (if there is other betther alternative for both events, let's hear it)

  * UW will supply mailing list for space.city, to avoid duplicate effort
    of sending out annoucements (and email lists)


2. If Space.city like the above, we will put things down in writing and
make it work. If space.city doesn't like the above, we will withdraw both
Greg Lynn and DMG events from space.city and do it at UW campus.

(does someone wants to draft this agreement with UW? and the agreement
with Greg? is there any sample from past events?)


3. the sense from the faculty and students at UW is that Greg can easilly
fill up the Benaroya Hall, if it's free, 150-200 students will just show
up and bring their friends, plus other design professionals, or other
design students, etc, full house at Benaroya is definetely doable.

4. UW has already got agreement (and $ allocated for it) from Rem Koolhaas
that he will do a lecture at UW this fall. (and happy to learn/work with
whoever in space.city that has contacts with Rem or the Library)

5. UW will be happy to co-sponsor Calatrava event next year, let's talk
more in detail later. (possibly Lot/ek, or others as well)


Spacers?!

I am eagerly awaiting for your response and a 'go-ahead.'
If space.city doesn't want it, UW will do the events.

Let me know ASAP.

Thanks,

Ellen
