Prom!

[x_penance]

So, the Prom is happening in two days, and while there is music and food organised, there is still a lot to do! I was going to email people directly, but there were so many emails I decided it would be easier to posthere and hope other people jump in to be helping too. :)

Decorations: So far it is just Sarah and myself to decorate the ballroom, and since I am so short, it is not being terribly effective. I still need people to help with setting up the tables and the banquet area, as well as decorate them. People who are strong to set up the stage and the equipment for the band would also be very helpful.

I did have the idea, however: Klara and Callie, if you have time, would I be able to borrow you and your powers? I want to have wisteria and rose vines along the walls and ceiling instead of streamers and balloons. Much prettier, yes? And environment friendly!

Chaperones: Since the student body isn't very big, we will not be needing too many chaperones. Jean-Phillipe and I will be there, and we need two more people to help.

Refreshments: There will be Mexican food, thanks to Angelo's friend Mama Lupe. Not all of it will explode your face. ;)

Guests: While Prom in other schools is normally for just the seniors, because Xavier's is so small it is really the open-invitation sort of party. There will also be the after-party at Harry's for the people who are over 21, where Garrison's friend Johnny is playing. All of the students are invited to come, and bring anyone they want to bring. The usual security policy does apply, so make sure you give a teacher or one of the X-Men your guest's details for the checking.

I can help with the stage and stuff. Do you want me to bring some of the vine trellises in so they can have an easier time growing them up?

I can chaperone but I'm gonna totally demand a dance. I hear you've been getting dance lessons, you.

Oh, that would be very helpful, Kyle, thank you!

And yes, I think a dance can be arranged. Maybe I can find some stilts? ;)

Hey! I'm not that tall. I'm like a foot and a half... okay, I'm that tall. Geez, it's just that you're tiny.

Good things come in small packages?

I can come help with the decorations that are too high up for you.

Thank you, Meggan! Flying is certainly the useful power for this sort of thing! You can help hang the disco ball. ;)

I'll be there to get started on hanging it up in just a moment.

(...now I'm imagining the chaperones breaking into a John Travolta style dance number when it starts turning.)

Dude I can totes dance like that. It's not hard, it's just... aw, crap, what did Kurt describe it like, hang on, I bet I still have notes on it.

Okay so my notes (what I use a laptop so I save like everything) say disco is "fast and exaggerative dance with loose hip movement and stylized movement" so I dunno if that was Kurt or Kurt pointing us to something because I think the day we covered disco it was a day where we all kept giggling.

wow, I totally took like good notes on this. Sweet.

Thank you, Klara! Kyle has been very helpful and provided the trellis and the pots for the roses to grow in. :)
