AX 2015 MSP EVENT - Details Inside!

Hello, all!

Mission Start Podcast is holding another photo shoot at Casey’s Irish Pub during Anime Expo 2015!  Here is where you will find it:

---

DATE:  July 2, 2015
TIME:  7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m
LOCATION:  Casey’s Irish Pub
ADRESS:  613 South Grand Avenue
RSVP at mspfreight@yahoo.com

We have put together a fun night so you can get some great photo opportunities, and a chance to have a night out and meet new friends in a fun bar near the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and the Anime Expo Shuttle Line!  We sat down after the 2014 shoot and discussed how to improve on what was more fun than we thought it would be, and we have come up with this:

• The cover charge is $25 per person.  Groups of 3 or more are $20 per person if everyone in the group signs up and sends payment at the time of sign-up.  This charge is just to help us cover costs for the rental of the back room of the pub.  If you want to do more than one costume, let us know and we will do our best to work with you.  If you are bringing friends, please inform them that they will be asked to pay, as well since the back room is limited capacity.
• For your $25, you will get 3 poses of your choice and 1 group shoot (if you are part of a group).  After that, the photographers or director may have additional poses they may ask for or may ask you to take part in a group shot.
• We will accept Paypal for this project, and you will receive an email detailing who has signed up and receipt of payment.
• To sign up, we will need your name, email, and a cell number to contact you in case you are late.  Please be aware that the bar is below sidewalk level, so cell service is spotty, at best.
• Please arrive wearing the base of your costume as there isn't a designated place to change at the bar.  They do have restrooms, but we do not want to be too obstructive to the bar's patrons.  It is a normal business day for them, after all.
• Props are welcome, but anything resembling a firearm should be in a bag until you arrive to avoid any problems.
• We will be bringing juices and glasses to replicate drinks.  The bar has agreed to supply us with ice.  
• When you arrive, we will give you a playing card.  Before you set up your first pose, hold up the card for a quick shot for the photographer.  This will help identify you, becuase for an extra $10, you will receive a copy of your hi-res photos.  These pictures are not to be sold as prints without direct photographer permission.
• WE ARE HAVING FOOD SERVED!  Anyone taking part in the shoot will have a choice of some food we have available:  Potato skins, a fresh vegetable tray, seared ahi, and pulled pork sliders!  Beverages will be able to be ordered by the individual, but the bar didn’t put them on the menu, so the individual ordering will need to purchase them.
• We will not be serving alcohol at the shoot, but if you are of legal age and decide to order a drink from the bar, we just ask you don't get drunk since it's hard to pose well if you can't stand up.

If you want to know what kind of photos you can get, take a look at examples from 2014 below!

We can also announce our first special guest!  Abby Normal is stopping by to have a costume photographed!  You can find Abby's Facebook page here!
