Logistics "News Feed" 3

Today we ironed out a lot of the wrinkles in the “Look” of our Web of Thoughts. The general consensus:

-neon/dayglo string for the web. To use a bit of white string was tabled as well, but not decided upon.
-white paper or card for the Q&A cards.
-clothespins for attaching
-writing utensils: pencils for sure. Markers/felts have also been tabled but a consensus was not reached for this. We have some felts that have been donated by Joanne. I suggest we have those available as well as the pencils just for variety.
-we are going to see if we like the look of having some strings reach the floor. We are going to try white balloons filled with sand as weights for this. Other suggestions have been bricks and tape.

Treasurer:
-Diandra will be buying neon string to build our web with.
-Diandra will be buying 3 bins for: clothespins, questions, writing implements, and white balloons.
-has collected 25$ from numerous people, but not all. If you haven’t gotten your money to Diandra please try to do so ASAP.

Materials and Construction:
Those who are available from the construction team, please meet tomorrow at 6:30 PM in the lobby. There are people from other groups that will be available to help as well.
The idea is to build a skeleton of our web structure and flag any unforseen problems we have, so that we have plenty of time on Wednesday to solve them if needs be. Any construction done Tuesday evening should be not block traffic through the area. A suggestion has been made that we:
-attach our strings to the pipes on the ceiling
-measure down to where we want the string to attach on the pillars or floor
-then hook or loop those long strings that would hinder traffic over a pipe until final construction on Wednesday.

...any strings that we want to attach from pipe to pipe across the ceiling, can obviously be done as it doesn’t hinder traffic.

Questions:
-Andrea will be collecting all the questions together and sending them to Joanne and I to print.

Promotions:
-Wednesday, build a visual lure to our installation. Ideas tabled have been:
- a string with papers with various logos (question marks, spider web etc)
-footprint cutouts on the floor
-doing promo work tomorrow in various places

Logistics:
The majority of the construction will still need to be done on Wednesday. I can be there at 9:30 in the morning. If everyone could send me what time they are available on Wednesday, that would be wonderful. We will need to have at least one person with our installation throughout the day.
