Welcome to the Show! Meet Joe & Todd: Todd Todd took Geometry and French 1 in 9th Grade which inspired him to be an architect. He graduated with an architecture degree in 1994. He became a licensed California architect in 2000. Todd and Joe met in 1992 at Silver Dollar City www.silverdollarcity.com   Todd was working as a tintype photographer that year. Joe and Todd met again in 2017 and Todd began working for Joe on a contract basis doing prop design and layout. RumbleDrum started in October 2017   Joe Joe was advised in 2015 New York Fashion Week www.NYFW.com that he should seek out an architect to help him with raising the professional level of service for the layout, permits and life safety aspects of events. Joe's family was active in the entertainment industry which inspired him to go into the event planning industry. He was active in dance and music. Joe worked for a small college, the Tulsa Convention Center, and another Event company doing tradeshows and eventually started his own company in 2006. What is the first step in planning an event? The most important step in planning an event is to discover the purpose of the event Other important first considerations that will be informed by the purpose of the event are budget, date and venue. Establishing a budget Consider budgeting per person if it is a ticketed fundraiser You may have to consider reducing the budget per person if more people than expected decide to attend. Establishing a date Consider what else is on the community and national calendar Consider if a certain season or day of the week is more economical. Some destinations are much more expensive during certain times of the year. Some venues offer discounts for off days of the week.

The Trouble with Darwin with Laura Pedersen Sunday, October 21, 2018 Charles Darwin is arguably the most influential writer of the past 150 years. Publication of his theory of evolution through natural selection in 1859 revolutionized the world in ways that we are still building on and also reeling from. The interconnectedness of all living things presented enormous implications and complications for religion, science, politics (especially slavery) and even the arts. This was in addition to conflicts within Darwin himself and his own family. Darwin (1809-1882) had a Unitarian background and married Emma Wedgewood, an enthusiastic supporter of his work, who also had a Unitarian upbringing. No prior knowledge of Darwin’s theory is necessary. Laura Pedersen is a bestselling author, playwright, and former columnist for the 'New York Times.' She was the youngest person to hold a seat on the American Stock Exchange, and in 1994, President Bill Clinton honored her as one of ten outstanding young Americans. She had a TV show on the Oxygen Network, and has appeared on 'Oprah,' 'David Letterman,' 'Good Morning America,' 'Primetime Live,' 'The Today Show,' 'CBS This Morning' and other national programs. She has performed standup comedy at The Improv and writes for several well-known comedians. Pedersen was voted one of the ten best speakers in the US by Meeting Planners International and has headlined at the Bakersfield Business Conference, ATHENA Awards, F. Scott Fitzgerald Society, and the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan. Her most recent book, Life in New York, won the Seven Sisters Award for best nonfiction. Laura is a lifelong Unitarian Universalist, an ordained Interfaith minister, and a longstanding member of All Souls who has frequently presented sermons and adult education programs here.
