A Big Thanks -- to everyone

Before we launch all the information tomorrow, I want to thank everyone who has helped out with this project thus far.

Mayor Gonzales was the inspiration behind many of these ideas. His vision for uplifting Santa Fe's night life, having late-night food, and creating a late-night shuttle were the starting points for much of Night Wave. I'm excited to know that we have a Mayor who is ready to commit long-term to some of these solutions.

Councilor Wurzeberger and Kate Noble introduced and championed the resolution that led to the city's focus on night life. It created the funding for this project, and set precedent for city cooperation.

Creative Santa Fe has been a huge piece of support for me. Katelyn Peer knows the permitting system at the city, and has really helped me envision the best ways to move forward on Night Wave.

Megan Burns has been organizing all the food trucks and outdoor public performances. She has put together a 3 -night schedule of performances by 15 different artists.

Emily Montoya put in tons of time to help me design a few flyers for this event. The big flyer, which shows all 40 participating artists, is quite a hefty task and she nailed it.

Maggie Thornton from Mindshare has built the website for us. Such a great company, so easy to work with, and Maggie did a quick and fantastic job with the task.

Jo Dean from Lumenscapes enlightened what was possible downtown from a visual stand point. Excited to work with his company to make our night life zone look more night lifey.

Dave Mcpherson and Benji Geary will be producing a ton of amazing video projection that will tower over the downtown area.

Shannon Murphy at AHA has created a survey for the weekend so that Night Wave can gather some key data to turn back into the city.

Joe Ray Sandoval has been working with me side-by-side through this process. I'm so excited that Skylight Santa Fe will be a central part to this project.
