Breaking into the Homes of Hollywood Stars

[[KGB]]'s [[2021 Officers|2022]] [[Booth]]. The [[carnival]] theme was "Ad Astra". This was KGB's first booth since 2018, which meant no one had any idea what they were doing. Fortunately, our three chairs, [[kmcarpen]], [[chood]] and [[zhengham]], attempted to have some idea of what they were doing and succeeded. The result? A single-story Blitz booth on [[Midway]]!

The booth portrayed the home of the very real celebrity and CMU alumnus Adam Adstar, whose underpaid security guards had no problem leading unwanted guests directly to his vault in the back room, where they must slip past lasers in order to steal the actor's most prized possession: his one and only Oscar.

Booth

Chood: Add (boothless) years 2019 to 2021 to history

[[Booth]] is the process of constructing a wooden scaffolding for holding [[spackle]] and [[caulk]]. Organizations can Win Booth by having the most uniformly-spackled wooden structures on [[Midway]].

It is very important to ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING when spackling a booth. If you simply give a bucket of spackle to [[Creidieki]], and tell him "figure out what to do with this", you will not Win Booth. Particularly if he then enlists all of the freshmen.

Anyway, after you [[spackle]] something, you wait for it to dry, and then you sand over it, and then you paint it. Casual afterthought is then used to construct a [[roofs|roof]] and cover it in tar paper. Roof construction is oft-considered the best time of year to identify which KGB members are [[load bearing]].

All of this might be fun, if it didn't cost more than [[KGB]] has spent on anything else, ever. That small detail <i>guarantees</i> fun. Or you can just take wood out of the [[Dumpster Diving|dumpsters]]. That works too.

Area 412

2022-09-06T18:54:09Z

Chood:

[[KGB]]'s [[2017 Officers|2018]] [[Booth]]. The [[carnival]] theme was "Myths and Legends". Our booth theme was "Area 412", the location (certainly not Pittsburgh!) at which the Kaglorbian aliens landed in their UFOs. While you might argue that aliens are neither myths nor legends, we maintain that UFOs are, probably.

Booth chairs: [[Rin|Katie]], [[Kate|Kate]], [[Joy|Joy]]

==Notable Features==
* A UFO sticking out of the booth wall, as "out" as allowed by the rules of booth buildin'.
* Actual Kaglorbian biology, really, as designed by Hal.
