Metallicaddict: /* Propaganda */

A nefarious plot has been hatched among the [[defectors]] to overthrow [[KGB|KGB's]] control of its annual [[Carnival]] party in 2008 and throw a somewhat grander shindig to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of KGB's founding. This page will be updated as more details are hammered out.

==The Plan==

* Friday night, April 18th: Reception (Location TBD)
* Saturday lunch, April 19th: Lunch (Holiday Inn, 100 Lytton Ave, Pittsburgh) ([http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=100+Lytton+Ave,+Pittsburgh,+PA&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=82.468595,104.941406&ie=UTF8&ll=40.445477,-79.953196&spn=0.010108,0.01281&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1 Google Map view])
* There will be other, smaller events during the weekend.

The Saturday lunch is the big event. If you can only attend one, please come to the lunch.

We're trying to gauge how many people will be attending. Please add yourselves to [http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvite.jsp?event=TOGHSGESAOWSGQIGDCGA# the Evite] to let us know. Formal registration will be announced in mid- to late-February.

== Announcements ==

* [[Party message 1|1st announcement message]]
* [[Party message 2|2nd announcement message]] (includes hotel information)
* [[Party message 3|3rd announcement message]] (includes information about the commemorative photo book)

==The Central Committee==

If you would like to join the central planning committee who will be held responsible for this travesty, please send e-mail to jay at laefer dot com. We have a Yahoo group to help organize things.

==The Brainstorming List==

It would be totally keen if:

* The party were held someplace near campus to make travel between [[Midway]] and the party easy.
* The party were held someplace where real [[food]] could be served or possibly provided.
* The party were held someplace that a full range of beverages could be served.
* We had custom [[KGB]] pocket protectors as favors.
* There were an associated game of [[CTFWS]].
* The party were held on a cruise ship in some exotic location.
* We Defectors created a blitz [[booth]].
* A variety of ancient and revered [[KGB]] artifacts could be assembled and displayed.
** [[Images]] of any and all [[KGB]] silliness need to be preserved for posterity in the [[KGB]]'s nifty new '''[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kg3b/ flickr account]''' created by so0s and growing exponentially in popularity.
** The original five-minute [[booth]] -- the one made of styrofoam.
** The original [[KGB]] [[buggy]] can be recreated from its original [[Legos]] courtesy of rm3t and so0s
** Dan Lovinger still has a "Topple the Czar" figure, I think.
** Somewhere, I (ee0r) may still have a FL0M B0MB.
* There were showings of [[KGB: The Movie]] and its sequel(s).
* Some accommodation were made for those defectors who (scary as this is) have small and infant children.
* We played Kremlin.
* There was a showing of [[sock puppets on fire]]
* Some detail-obsessive people took notes on all the stories and history that surface, and threw them up onto this wiki afterward. Not blackmail material -- necessarily -- but officer lists, booth chairmanships, what the booths ''were''...
