City Repair Sponsorship!!!
I just got back from the City Repair Council Meeting this evening, and they came to consensus on sponsoring the Ballyhoo! What does this mean? Well, it means that when I ask support from local businesses (donations, etc.) for the ballyhoo I can do so under City Repair's name. Hindi, a city repair council member, will be 'shepherding' me through the process of donation forms and receipts.
This is super exciting. It will definitely make the Ballyhoo more established and reputable. I hope that having City Repair on board with the festival will also bring out bigger numbers.
Cool. More updates soon!

Face Paint Recipe
FOUND ONLINE:
The paints that this recipe make will never be as good as manufactured
face paints. But you may want to give it a try if your budget is tight or you simply can't find face paints in your local store or wait for delivery from an on-line
company.
This recipe uses a few basic ingredients, and will wash off with warm
water. The recipe does use food colouring, so common-sense precautions
should be applied in case of allergies to this and to prevent staining
clothes.
Ingredients:
• One teaspoon (slightly heaped) cornstarch.
• Half a teaspoon cold (aqueous) cream.
• Half a teaspoon water.
• Food colouring in various colours.
What To Do With the Ingredients:
• Mix the cornstach and cold cream together until they are well blended.
• Stir in the water. You now have the base to which you mix in the
food colouring to make different colours of face paint.
• Add food colouring a drop at a time and stir well.
• That's it! Store the paint in small containers with lids so it's
easy to transport.
How to Apply Face Paints:
• You can use a brush, sponge, or even your fingers. You'll soon
figure out what works best for you.
• Use clips and/or a hair band to keep long hair out of the way while
you're painting a face.
• Be careful painting near the eyes – ask the person to close them.
• As this DIY paint takes several minutes to dry, consider working out
your design so you don't paint colours on top of one another, just
next to each other.
• If you're worried someone may have a very sensitive skin, apply a
little of the paint on the inside of a wrist and wait an hour or so to
see if they have a reaction.
• Avoid getting the paint on clothes, as the food colouring may stain.
fucking rad.
