I would be willing to help, but not lead. HQ should be able to give you lots of support per Echodelta's post:
What you (the Organizer of a Minilypse) get:
- Step-by-Step guidance including access to planning resources including a Organizer's Guidebook with all sorts of papers and checklists and stuff like that.
- Access to technical and logistical resources at HQ to help plan
- Lighting and technical suggestions, setup diagrams and resources
- Creative briefs and regionally relevant shooting concepts
- Financial support to help cover event costs (hiring models, equipment rentals, facilities costs). This is based on the size of your event and the current state of our sponsorship budget.
- Custom suggestions for improving your event; such as potentially including workshops, live inspections or lighting discussions
- Glory and bragging rights when it's all done with
We have terrific locations in this area. We can probably pull off something great if we put our heads together. My first and only lypse was in Oct 2011 (Milan) and I'm signed up for the Toronto Vectorlypse in May. So my lypse experience is limited but if you have the Minni-apple-lypes after May, I will have more experience by then. You can count on me for support but I'm not comfortable leading one at this point.
