09/27/2006 | The Major and City Counsel of West Hollywood, the Cultural Affairs Commission and the Lesbian and Gay Advisory Board will each get two comps. Furman to process eight tickets for Childers. Between his comps and comps for Christopher Rice and Bruce Vilanch, we'll pretty much have two tables set aside for him anyway. If Rod McKuen doesn't have someone to present the award to him, maybe we can put him and Edward at Michael's table (giving us one full "comp" table of celebrities and one full paid table of Michael's guests). There is also going to be a documentary crew filming Michael receiving
his award. Will the documentary crew filming Michael receiving his
award be comp'd? JJ will get the exact number of people in the crew. |
09/26/2006 | Hotel wants the number of dinners turned in by Tuesday,10/03/06 (with some room to add dinners thereafter). Do a small gift bag for the dinner from ToFF (like we did for Coming
of Age)? |
09/25/2006 | Louis prints out 156 numbered tickets. Should there be a printed program for the Banquet? Do a short history on the hallmarks that ToFF has achieved over the past 22 years. Can Jorgensen do program with Louis? Determine what West Hollywood officials and friends have/need to be invited? Reserved a table for the reservation tickets. Goldie will supply
a cash bag for the evening and a check to pay for the event if it
is needed to close out the evening. Goldie is going to get a room
@ the hotel for the night. Can we all use it for changing? |
09/21/2006 | Ilo Orleans, who is producing a documentary about
Michael Childers, wants to videotape the Banquet for inclusion in
the film. Would the Bel Age have any restrictions? Can the producer
have the entire Banquet recorded / documented and give a copy to ToFF? |

at the dinner. JJ e-mailed Babcock to ask if he could send me the
