Let the panic attacks commence

So, I am currently awaiting a little clarification on a few of the gazillion questions and worries I have buzzing around my head right now, so I decided to take this opportunity to focus on my individual research project a little more. Right now I have 10+ newspaper clippings on the subject of the lynching plus 2 databases from MSA.MD.GOV. I feel as though I have a pretty clear picture to how the events unfolded. The paper will be no trouble at all to write about, I suppose I could find someone in the community that knows a little about this? Yet chances of first hand solid knowledge are to be few ad far between. As for the digital part to the project I figured I would go to the locations of each problem; from the bar of the initial fight to the prison to the field to the court house. Almost as to recreate a walking tour of a history trail. Though I am unsure how to create this to be of the length necessary.

In terms of committee work, for the booze, I need a budget, or an idea of the money that I can spend to the allocate to things like Kegs and Boxed Wine. As for contacting businesses I am excited this week to come up with a set script and a list of who I am to call so that I feel like I have accomplished something.

I also went up there this Sunday after my game to take a drive around the area and get a little more acquainted with it. I also cannot believe how incredibly fast this looming deadline is getting and the fact that I am still confused every week.

I hope you all are having better weeks than myself, and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Press and booze and a christmas lynching

Ok we are finally here. We are almost decided on how this event is going to go and by Wed it will be solidified.

For my publicity committee section, I plan on talking to local new companies such as the Sun and even WBAL/Fox45. I am trying to also get in contact with PATCH and have them send someone out to cover the event. This committee also ties in with the Beverage side of my committee. I am going to be in contact with local breweries such as clipper city and dogfish head and see if they are interested in either buying an add in our event or discounting beer etc. I will also most certainly be in communications with the Natty Boh company seeing if we can have them send some merchandise or beer or money our way.
I am obviously open to suggestions from anyone to make this a better success as everybody has different and important ideas.

As for my individual project I have changed my focus and am much happier and better on track with the information I have found. I was originally focusing on public housing, but now after stumbling upon it, I am going to follow the Lynching in 1911. I have found handfuls of newspaper articles from the Sun, Afro American and from various reports around the country. While most articles are from the days after it happened I also have information on the how the cases played out. Most of my newspaper clippings have been found through the archives of Maryland. I can easily see with the template that I have, how each of the sections will be filled out perfectly with all the information that can be gathered. If anyone knows anything else from the subject or places to look up more facts let me know!!! I need all the help I can get.
