Not sure how we're gonna do the hotlamps yet, but Mike and I went around the space the last couple days and roughly estimated out that the show at a minimum will call for at least 70 hotlamps to be used. I guess that there needs to be some budgeting to see where the money should be going with regards to this, but honestly hotlights are very cheap and anyone who contributed lamps would obviously get to keep them after the show. Logistically it makes more sense for everyone to just purchase their own, it's how we did it last year and it worked out pretty well. I know that money is tight for everyone, but this is a sort of funny situation where this class for once is asking us to spend money on something that we can actually use after we graduate. Everyone should have a set of hotlamps anyways so individual buying gets my vote, but I'm sure that will be disagreed with by some. Either way 70 lamps at the least is what we need, and if some of you want to go ahead and start buying some, by all means do so. Just make it known how many you are picking up by either commenting on this post, or contacting either me, or Michael Archer. Also make sure that they have clamps and are the average "medium" size found at most hardware stores.
We have to be careful with our money if we decide to dedicate a large chunk of it to something that we could easily purchase on our own (ie. hotlamps) then we could run the risk of ending up shallow on purchasing other supplies (paint, lightbulbs, extension cords, cleaning products, etc.) that we probably need more than we think right now.
Agreed anonymous blog poster. I have three already! We have a lot of money but we also need a lot...Hot lamps are like, $5.00 at Lowes.
