    I just heard from Heather at the Trust about doing First Night again this year.

    Our outdoor spaces are under construction, so we would have you guys set up in an indoor space – a return to glow-in-the-dark Legos? Maybe the room off of the Byham Theater again, or maybe in the Arts Education Building.

    The event this year starts at 7pm. Could we plan on having your organization from 7pm-11pm? Participation [payment] of $350.

    There’s a possibility that I may have a conflict this year. Is anyone willing and able to do this?

    I will unfortunately have to work, But I think this is something we should make every effort possible to doing. Great exposure for us and the payment helps sweeten the pot for the LUG

    Bump. I need to let Heather know by the end of the month if we can do it.

    Final bump on this. I have to let her know by Tuesday.

    If no one is interested, that’s okay. This will just be a loss of revenue and partnership for the LUG.

    Hi Josh,

    I hope all is well, we’re excited to have your participation at First Night this year!

    I am reaching out to inform you that the activity location for Steel City LUG has been moved from the Byham Theater to the Benedum Lot (641 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222).

    Due to construction taking place within the cultural district ahead of the opening of Arts Landing, the decision has been made to implement a smaller footprint for First Night, and the Byham Theater will be completely offline for the duration of the evening.

    The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnerships is utilizing the Benedum Lot for their Holiday Market and will be leaving the tent up through the New Year’s for Cultural Trust usage. Since Fifth Avenue Place is at capacity, we’ve decided to transition the lego activity into the Benedum Lot from 7-11PM.

    Although the location space will be different than previous years, please note that the tent is carpeted, heated, and will be in a central location within the First Night footprint. There will be signage to let people know where your activity will be.

    Feel free to bring signs/posters to promote anything upcoming in your organization as well to get the word out.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.

    Best,
    Breanne

    looking for ideas of what to do. Anyone interested in doing a live build of the year again?


    @lgbrickbuilder
    – let me know after you’ve had a think about what we can do.

    Cultural trust asked for a floor plan…I just told them 4 tables, a few chairs, maybe 20’x10’…so, whatever we do should fit into that foot print…
