“IF YOU GUYS CAN DO THIS IN YOUR SPARE TIME, WHAT COULD YOU DO

WITH 10 MILLION DOLLARS?!”Jared Ficklin • frog

PLANNINGTreat party projects like any other work projects—budget, timeline, deliverables.

MESSAGINGHow an interaction is framed is as important as its implementation. Make sure it has a concept,give it a name and a catchy description.

APPEARANCE OF WORKINGIt’s okay if you can’t tie up all the technical loose ends. Use some behind the curtain “human computing.”

“IT JUST NEEDS TO WORK FOR 3 HOURS!”Get it going, keep it going. Once the guest go home, your work is done.

TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN & SERVE BEERDon’t be too much of a perfectionist—users will be drunk ;-)
