Logistics Re-Stock and Donation Drive for 2012

This Post is Approved by James C. Kimball

A recent assessment of the supplies in Logistics has fully informed us as to what we need and what we do not. Please post below if you would like donate an item on the list, and I will record your name and update the list. If you find you can no longer donate the item, please let me know ASAP! That way someone else can jump on board to donate. I will continually update this list as needed

I have divided the list below into "Logistics Needs" and "Storyteller Needs" – this should be fairly straightforward, but the big difference is that Storyteller Needs are time sensitive and their donation is required to run an awesome event for you – so if you want to donate those items, pay attention to the "due date" and don't sign up if you aren't sure you can provide it (of course just update here if you find you cannot). Storyteller donations will be accepted by the specific Storyteller, whereas Logistics needs will be accepted by a designated person in Logistics during Sign-in

LOGISTICS NEEDS:
Due to necessity all items below will receive at least DOUBLE service points, with some items providing special compensation, marked with an asterisks (*).

Make-up – Specifically we are looking for high quality stage makeup; we will not accept donations of cheap Halloween store makeup and like. This means brands like Mehron, Ben Nye, Kryolean, or their equivalents. All actual Makeup Items receive TRIPLE SERVICE POINTS.

Wide variety of small ones of any color needed – some are listed as "refills" for the larger pallettes– we do not want these, only ones with caps/lids or a set in their own palette.

A NOTE ON COSTUMING DONATIONS
At the present time we have a ton of random cheap costuming, but not much in the way of very simple, quality items. We therefore will only be accepting the following items for costuming donation:

Hats (5) - muffin, beret, or cap style
Pouches (10) - Samantha M.
*High-Quality or Exceptional Pieces of Costuming (Items that appear professional in construction and are akin to Moresca doublets/jerkins, Damsel in this Dress bodices, Good-Quality armor, and so forth).

Thank you for all your help and support!

I'll handle the spirit gum (5 small bottles) and 1 of the sets of Large Elf Ears from Logistics Needs and 2 sets of Sea Elf Ears from ST Needs.

I will bump up my production of sewn headbands if you want. I will make the reversible ones: white/blue and red/yellow. Including the 7 of each I promised Chris, I will make 10-15 of each.

BOOM. I will be on my sewing machine like Martha Stewart!

I can also assist with headbands. Because I work at Michaels, I can get ribbon fairly cheaply. I'll just start bringing a roll of each every event until we have a halfway decent stockpile.

Dan - That's great - we can leave the red/yellows for weekend NPC use, and reserve the clothe headbands for marshals.

Chris - That would be wonderful, and will allow us to just keep a nice stock.

Later tonight I will be combining Chris's post with mine to avoid confusion.

Anyone who is looking for the makeup donation contact me I can and will get the makeup for you for this event (as long as it is in stock). I have been contacted already and will be looking into what is needed that i don't have at the moment. Contact me no later then this coming Wednesday (i can not front all the money for the donation this time as it does get expensive).

Just as a note - if you are ordering yourself or through Randy, please just let me know here or privately what is being ordered, so that it can be marked down above. Thanks!

I will (through Randy) provide Cake make-up, 2 each black and green and one blue. I am looking to put together some liquid as well.

I can make decent pouches fairly well. Do you have a preference to cloth or pleather? Also, I can make some Renaissance shirts, but not by this event. Definitely by October event though. Any color preferences? I remember seeing a few creams and blues in logistics.

Sam -

No preference on pouch material, really whatever you would pull together is fine as long as they can close tight enough to hold coin and gems. If you want to go an extra mile, it wouldn't hurt if they were marked in some way to indicate that they belong to KR. Pouches are one of those things that seem to get walked off if eventually. Not sure the best method though. Should I mark you down for all 10, or less than that?

As for shirts, blacks and browns are a good standard as they can be used by anyone, but other than that greens, blues, reds can also be pretty universal. Whites and creams are really nice, but can look worn out quickly and get pretty stained. Just be sure to lean towards larger when it comes to sizes. October is certainly fine - while we would love to get everything as soon as we can, this Drive is not limited to Sept.

Thanks so much!

Oh that's a good idea. I can sew ''Property of Knight Realms '' on each one or something. And yes. All 10 pouches. I have so much fabric laying around that this is an excellent opportunity to get rid of some of it

I'll go through my make-up kit and anything I've got (I use Ben Nye & Aquacolour) that I'm not using I'll bring. I went to school for costume design, prop building, lighting and stage effects make-up. Some of the stuff will go bad if I don't give it away in a year or so.

I'll as I said before make 10 pairs of horns. If you guys could send me photo references what you say is demon style I'd appreciate it since up here demon's are a bit different then down there.

If you want I can also make reversible head bands since I work for a fabric distribution center occasionally.

I will also make 4 shoulder bags.

There's a store around me that sells sponge applicators not to sure if they are latex free. Would those do? I can pick up 3-4 bags worth.

Also for the wand is there any type of reference you guys want?

Ali

Hi Ali -

Some Answers:

Horns - Take a look at the links to the prosthetics above, and you'll have an idea what we mean by demon horns. Its pretty open to interpretation honestly, as long as they were little pointy horns, they work.

Bags - Thanks!

Applicators - do you mean the triangle sponges (like above) or the little eyeshadow-like applicators? Either is fine.

For the wands, I am fairly open with what I am looking for, although I prefer wood - basically, one should be something like a standard sorcery wand, the other perhaps a little more "special" looking - message me privately with any thoughts, suggestions, or questions.

Thanks so much!

I will be bringing Ben Nye Lumiere to donate.

Thank you to everyone that has donated thus far. This drive will be continuing into next month as there are still a few things we are looking for. I have updated the list to remove the things I know were delivered. Things we really need for this month are the various makeup applicators. We are also in desparate need of spell packets. Keep an eye of this space for other needs from the staff.

Will you accept crocheted muffin hats? I can shoot over a pic of what they look like.

My only hesitation is the ease at which such a hat will absorb water (and sweat), and the dubiousness of washing them. If neither of these are actually a problem, please feel free to send me a link to a picture and I will let you know. :)

Hey everyone!

I know there were ppl asking for the candle's that blow out I wasn't sure if this was a sale or not but think geek has them up for sale. Candles

This looks like a good sale but alas I don't buy these often.
