BSU Portfolio Show
The annual Boise State University Design / Illustration Portfolio Show is coming up once again. Each spring, students share their work with the community at large. This year’s event takes place as part of the First Thursday festivities in downtown Boise on Thursday, May 7th.
A few more details about the show that the students passed along:
Busy Thursday night? Clear your schedule.
Long day at class or work? Take a load off.
Have nothing of any merit to do? You do now.Head down to Beside Bardenay on First Thursday in May to check out the portfolios of Boise State’s Graphic Design and Illustration students. Stimulate the economy by giving us jobs, or support the arts by telling us how awesome we are. If it helps to tell you that we’ll have a bar, then, well, we’ll have a bar. We’ll be there between 5 and 9 PM, so be there or feel really bad when all of your friends show up and wonder where you were.
Featuring the talents of:
-Ferijala Balic
-James Calentino
-Jackie Elo
-Cody Evans
-Allen Gladfelter
-May Hernandez
-Sarah McCarthy
-Tara Roark
Take the time to attend. You’ll see some talented students who would love any feedback you’d give them.
Hey Seattle, Need a Vacation?
The folks at the Idaho Travel Council, with the help of Drake Cooper and North by Northwest, want to send a family from Seattle on vacation in Idaho.
The catch? They’re going to film the vacation as part of a reality show on Idaho travel.
Still interested? Take a look at the Adventures in Living casting call page for all the details, submission requirements and such.
From their site:
The winning family will enjoy an all-expense paid, 8-to-10-day vacation in Idaho, including stays in Boise, Sun Valley, Coeur d’Alene and more.
The adventure vacation will be captured by a film crew to create a new web reality show. In addition to the trip, the family will receive spending cash, an adventure guide and a wake up call from life as you know it.
Filming will take place approximately June 19 – 29 and we are willing to make adjustments to this schedule to accommodate the right family, including working with their employer. As a thank you for participating, the family would be welcome to stay and enjoy Northern Idaho at no cost for three additional days – without the cameras.
Deadline for entry is May 7th.
And Now the Waiting Begins
Waiting you ask? For what?
Yesterday (April 29th) at 5:00 was the deadline for all response materials to be delivered to the Idaho Lottery for their current RFP. Now, those who responded are playing the waiting game.
Now the pressure is on the folks at the Idaho Lottery to work their way through all of the materials that were submitted (NOTE – I have no count of how many firms submitted materials), and make their decisions.
A decision is expected in mid-May.
