From: IMAGRYM@aol.com Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 14:48:13 EST Subject: Evening Event! To: balloondeco@balloonhq.com Hi guys! It's been awhile! I am so sorry that I couldn't respond lately (I had AOL 6.0 - and that made it difficult to respond). I was wondering if I could get some assistance from you guys. I am doing a party in February that would consist of a star theme (colors black, silver and white). The hall has a contract that states that no tape, thumbtacks or anything should be placed on the walls. The walls are off white. The room has bright lighting. The ceiling is a drop ceiling with white panels (It's about 7 1/2 feet from the floor). I'm trying to get the room dimmer. I was thinking about using mylar curtains (silver color) to cover all the walls (starting from the ceiling) with the icicle lights going around the boarder of the ceiling (the room is square). Since nothing can be put on the walls, I thought anchoring the curtain and lights to the panels of the drop ceiling would work. The person in charge of contracting the hall sounded hesitant when I brought the idea up to her. I would like to know from you guys (after all, I think that the idea is dreamy as well as adding subtle lighting) should I continue to pitch the idea to the hall manager for permission purposes or should I just do the job? I am taking into consideration that no punctures or marks will be made to the walls nor ceiling. Also, the contract didn't state anything about the ceiling panels. The customer stated that the sky is the limit considering that a lot of politicians would be there. Question two . . . .the walk-thru star is what I am interested in constructing in the doorway of the party. It is recommended that aluminum rods are to be used as well as anchored to the doorway for stability. I would like to know, if anyone has used PVC instead of the aluminum and if you did, what were any down sides of using the PVC. Thanks a lot guys.
