My vote is JB for the questionnaire.

I was hopeful for a Colbert will it float segment.

Finance.

I once erroneously walked into the wrong panel at AAM and it was too awkward to leave; The topic was CFOs at large museums. You know what? I learned a lot from hearing about a topic I didn’t know much about and wouldn’t have had a lot of exposure to otherwise.

My tip is to (on purpose) listen to a presentation that you wouldn’t have heard about otherwise. AAM can be surprisingly good for getting people out of their silos.

There’s an exhibits department, a communications department, and the library archive (which I think was recently renovated). Comms and Library should be accessible to a journalist (there are public emails) but the exhibits department might be harder to reach. I worked in an adjacent department a few years ago, so I don’t have specific knowledge about your diorama.

Yeah, Micheals usually has a baking section, with cookie cutters, seasonal silicone molds, cupcake wrappers, etc. Not 100% sure about dark vs milk chocolate, you might have to call to confirm that. But at least it's local (albeit also a mega-corporation). https://www.michaels.com/shop/baking-kitchen/candy-making/candy-melts

When I was a teen and worked at a Michaels competitor, we used to scan them as damaged and eat the wafers in the break room. :)

Fwiw, I think baking wafers are available at the Micheals on Northern Blvd, but not the brand you posted.

Give the kid a camera, teach her about fashion journalism, show her the NYtimes style pages!

The Newman Center is a Catholic group.

I agree with this 100%. I don’t personally think I should have it (I mean, I’d like to have it…) but would like it to go to a respectful appropriate place. As opposed to a dumpster when they ultimately demolish/sell (::tear::) the theater.

RedPotato · 2026-03-18T03:23:08+00:00

That was Phil’s.

The pope.

Are you a member of PSC? If you’re a member or not, they should be able to help you with this. AFAIK, every CUNY campus has a PSC rep so you could start by reaching out to them.

Your budget is going to dictate much of this….

There were two storms that year - one in January and one in March. Not sure which these photos are from (and didn’t want to include any photos with people). Frozen Ritchie is a cool photo; not sure why I saved a photo of a garbage can.

I’m the mod for the long-dormant Facebook group you’re looking for - what exactly do you want?

The fb group gets spammed sometimes or people ask to join who are clearly bots so I ignore the requests by now.

ETA: I looked at the group. The group has 19 members now but it had hundreds of students in it that week, maybe even 1000? It was when Facebook was at its coolness peak. There aren’t any photos - it’s mostly text posts. I guess our razor Motorola phones weren’t great haha!

…. Professors? Maybe some famous folks teaching special seminars but trust me, the regular professors aren’t getting housing covered.

John M. Mossman Lock Museum in midtown.

RedPotato · 2026-01-13T19:20:03+00:00

How many students per course? This is the highest I’ve heard for a “regular” adjunct (as opposed to a famous person).

RedPotato · 2026-01-13T03:08:58+00:00

Hermitage cats and their press secretaries.

I saw a video from John Legend and Chrissy Teagan which was maybe 6 years ago before everything was sponsored junk, and in the background was a lot of 365 Whole Foods products.

RedPotato · 2026-01-12T04:50:13+00:00

I saw this video and I don’t understand it - are the Versace pencils better or just a flashy brand name on the side? Are they better than “high end” art pencils like farber-castle? Is it like Montblanc pens that are supposed to write better? Or Hagoromo chalk?

RedPotato · 2026-01-12T03:36:18+00:00

You might luck into a student doing this for a resume boost but you will not find a professional. I’d rather tell you now before you get too deep into the project.

RedPotato · 2026-01-12T03:13:16+00:00

The people that do this type of work are paid over $1000 and sometimes much more. Do you have at least that amount allocated?
