Okay, maybe this sounds totally dumb and middle-schoolish, but how fun (& funny!) would it be to have a talent show? Charge admission or something. Just a totally random thought that popped into my brain…
Good idea, any volunteers? I know a few people that can put on one heck-of-a martial arts demonstration!
If the hotel doesn’t mind I can bring a Holland and do showmanship…kinda boring though unless you know what I’m doing haha. Most of my talent would be in what I know…I doubt anyone would want to sit through a lecture on rabbit coat color genetics, huh? Or how to uncook eggs? Or why the sky is blue? Okay I’m done now. I like to pretend I can sing but no way will I sing in front of everyone! Hmm…I could sign to a song though (used to be an interpreter). Oohhhhhhh I know, I should find some sort of demo I can do…like lab-ish. But a lot of the neatest ones require a fume hood because of the gases given off after the reaction…
Maybe some of the Star Wars fanatics out there could stage a battle with “light sabers” and all haha. I know quite a few of you would have fun with that!!
Just throwing out ideas
I’m sure there are plenty of talented folk around.
How about Karaoke?
Oh I like that idea (Karaoke)!!!
I had another idea last night too - a square dance!
Thank you for your suggestions!
oh please no, not kareokee!!
What about a mock American Idol talent show.
get All of the Distict Master invole with this. with a mock judges.
This will be my first time attending the WI retreat, so I don’t know if it’s typical to have entertainment planned for the evening, but I like that it’s being considered. I have young children at home so I don’t get many nights out. I was really hoping to do some dancing, but in lieu of that, how about a ‘pass the mic’ and everyone just brings their best joke? Just another idea to drop in the hat.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
