Festival Operations and Hospitality
And, of course, the festival would not have been possible without the work of a fine cadre of volunteers. Their efforts ran a wide and critical range - planning, advising, arranging and publicizing, schlepping and posting, ticket tearing and ushering, informing, schmoozing and hosting.
Many, infinite thanks to all... and to our Executive Assistant, Jamie Axtell, for helping to make sure everyone was where they needed to be: Becky B, Boots, Bill Carpenter, Susan Degnan, Haleigh, Jane, Jessica R, Alan Levy, Loren, Lucki, Miss Lyss, Lizziey, Lola, Sur Madam, Mark S., Melissa, Patricia, Phil, Robert, Mark S., Sara Y, Elizabeth Sheehan, Sissy Stephanie and Tom.
For keeping our website ticking throughout the year, an endless, tequila-infused river of gratitude for Heow Goodman and Laura/ThreeDesignThree.
For helping get out the word and lasso in new sponsors, big props and some extra reward miles to the lovely Kelly Shibari.
For documenting our various hijinks and making sure we appear in the best light possible... much love to Stacie Joy with her amazing still photography, and to the industrious Bill C. and Lynsey Lagsalot, ramping up our video unit and helping us all look sharp on the red carpet!
Many thanks also to John Mhiripiri and all of the staff at Anthology Film Archives...thirteen years and counting!
Kick-Off Gala
In addition to our festival volunteers, thanks go to the wonderful crew at Taj, our party venue. And, of course, our fabulous kick-off performers... the glamorous Crimson Kitty, along with Ropeboi and Miss Cherry La Voix!
Awards and AfterGlow:
Thanks to Gallery Bar for hosting our festive awards ceremony. And for the AfterGlow, extra thanks to the folks at Carousel for being such fabulous hosts… and to those adventurous sorts who ventured out for one last night of wild abandon!
