According to the weathernetwork Tuesday night and Wednesday night are the only nights that are currently not supposed to receive any precipitation

[rachel]

Date tentitively set for Wednesday night, as long as the weather forecast stays the way it is.

We need to set a schedule to guard the cannon on Wednesday, and to ride the trainer on Thursday (if the weather cooperates and people still want to do this), as well as coordinate supplies.

I'll start a list on the first post--please reply with availability for guarding the cannon/riding/ bringing supplies!

[carly]

I'm able to guard the cannon from 6-7, and then i am also available for 10-12, and 12am-6am if needed because i don't have class til 7pm on Thursday

I think you just volunteered to ride the trainer all day.

[Mariah]

wed is cool for me ... and I can guard the cannon from 6pm till 6 am ... but Ill need to do some stuff at the library so I could go for a couple of hours on a couple off until the lib closes ... just let me know when you need me

[Mariah]

no I totally lied ... I am going to a concert that night but I can guard from 3:30 until 5 and then I should be back by midnight to paint and or guard if you guys are still around ... sorry that just completely slipped my mind

[Christopher J!]

I'm good to go for trainer after 1 on thursday but have a massive lab final thrusday at 8:30 am which takes me completely out of painting the cannon...

[flav]

Anyway I can hop on the trainer at 11:30 on thursday?
I can guard the cannon from 10pm-12am on wed and come oooooooooonnn fruity you gotta come out for a bit and paint!

[Christopher J!]

I know eh, it was my idea and I'll be left behind but if it gets done I'm stoked..

[Eric]

Are Rachel and Carly guarding the thing from midnight til 6 am ? or can I pitch in a couple of hours in between?

[rachel]

^Eric-- the more the merrier Come by whenever you can.

[flav]

What time are we actually going to paint at?

[rachel]

I was thinking 10-ish. Can everyone get there by then?

[rachel]

Fruity, can you bring your trainer before your lab on Thursday?

[DiscoStu]

I'll be there... also willing to lend out a paintball gun to intimidate anyone who might get the idea of trying to hijack our cannon.

[nomis]

So it turns out I have pink and orange.. could mix those together for a 'pinge' base layer and also green. Mix my green with rachels green and that can be what we use for words....

I'd also still like to get the UGC skate goin, so if any non-skaters could volunteer for the 7-9 cannon guarding that would be ideal. If not someone will have to take one for the team and miss the skate. I also plan on heading over right after skating..

Anyone have a tent we could use in case it gets super cold? / to keep camping supplies as inconspicuous (sp?) as possible. On a completely unrelated note, the cannon is in the middle of campus, campus police are regularly in that area all night, and consuming alcohol in public is not permitted.

[Christopher J!]

can I give someone my trainer tomorrow? I just don't want to be panicked the morning of my lab final...

[DiscoStu]

Kira and I will join the 10pm to midnight shift

[inara]

I can take that short 12:30-1pm trainer riding shift thursday, and I'll be around to help wed night as well, sorry i can't fill any spots in the morning, i have a lab exam at 2:30 that i have to study for....

I have a 2 person tent which I will bring, and 1 air mattress.

I'd suggest other people staying overnight bring air mattresses & sleeping bags, if they want to sleep during the 12-6am shift.

My office is also in MacN, so we can make tea/warm up there if we need to.

Yup, I'm on campus 10:45-12:45 & probably 3:30-6pm, and I can take your trainer til Thursday. Let me know if you want to meet.

[icebiker]

I'll take 7-9 on Wednesday then.

[andrewm]

Super busy with presentations on Thursday. Have fun.

If anyone wants to come drinking after having guarded the cannon for the day, come to the Taps at 4.

[rachel]

We still need people to guard the cannon 8-10 & 12-2pm.
Anyone free?

[Mariah]

eff .. Im in class all day .. sorry Rachel

[flav]

uuh i think we had a bit of a mis-understanding a meant 10 PM-12 AM....I have class in the morning at those times but how about i guard from 8am-10am?

[carly]

I can guard it from 1-2pm
and i will also be able to be there at 10pm to paint the cannon.

[rachel]

Alex, thanks for noticing that, 8-10am is great.
Carly, thanks

I can take another hour anytime between 10-1, but preferably not all 3...
