Meeting
Mickey Mellen - 1:1
Gist
Chris ran Mickey Mellen through a live test of his new AI-assisted website-building workshop tool (build.classiccity.com), walking through the homepage wireframe flow, testimonials, CTAs and template setup while noting several bugs (unchecked boxes, lost content on view/edit toggling, repeated CTA text entry). They also planned logistics for an upcoming shoot/workshop day at Mickey Mellen's space with GreenMellen, covering shoot schedule, headcount, catering (leaning sandwiches/cheesesteaks), and evening social activities (leaning Mario Kart plus card games over Top Golf/bowling due to playoff-game conflict risk). Chris also followed up on speaker/topic card designs pending approval from Ali.

What came out of it
Decisions3
- Leaned toward using Mario Kart on a big screen plus card games instead of Top Golf or bowling for the social event
- Will only offer catered food to the 10-12 people attending the workshop day, not all shoot attendees
- Topic-focused speaker cards preferred over face-focused cards for shareability
Risks and blockers5
- Website builder tool has bugs: checkboxes uncheck themselves and recently entered content disappears when toggling between view and edit
- CTA fields require redundant re-entry of the same text across sections
- Uncertainty whether attendance will reach the hoped-for 30-40 people, limiting how many activity stations are needed
- Small chance of a playoff game conflicting with a Punch Bowl-style venue, which would be costly and chaotic
- Ali's availability dropped from 20 hours to 6 hours, possibly delaying card design approvals
Open questions4
- Will fireworks/catering vendor be able to source food (e.g., cheesesteak sandwiches) on short notice?
- What will it cost to rent the venue the night before the event?
- How many total attendees will actually show up to the shoot and workshop day?
- Did Ali receive and review the two card design options (speaker vs. topic)?
Next steps8
- MeFix the bug causing checkboxes to reset and content to disappear on view/edit toggle
- MeHave CTA fields auto-populate from a previous entry instead of requiring re-typing
- MeAdd a subtle prompt/CTA nudging users toward the View button in the builder
- VendorAsk Courtney/Ping about catering options and pricing per head for the workshop day
- ClientPrice out renting the venue the night before the event
- MeSend additional outreach emails to marketing contacts to fill open shoot slots
- ClientFollow up with Ali on Thursday about the two card designs
- MeArrive at the shoot location around 8:30 AM to prep the room before the 9:40 first shoot
