Eric spent far too long as an officer of KGB, serving: 1 semester as [[1st VP]], 1 as [[Sergeant at Arms]], and 5 as [[President]] .(what was he thinking?)

Morewood Cafeteria

2010-11-08T22:09:36Z

Ts4z:

Long since gone, the Morewood Cafeteria on the ground floor of the Morewood dormitory was arguably the best place to eat on campus if you were using your meal plan or Validine account. But quality came at a price...the portions were small.

Here's a story from ts4z. I don't remember the quality as "good", say, around 1995. They had comment cards, so I filled one out. Basically, I said the food sucked. I dropped in the comment box. An employee saw me and asked if I minded if he opened the box and read the card. I put the card in the box to be read, so I said no. He read the card and asked me to wait there, which was odd, and he fetched the manager, some guy in a tie. The manager told me in no uncertain terms that if I ever got product again, and I was not satisfied with the product, that I should return the product. I was careful after that to avoid comment boxes within sight of employees, and even today, I try to eat more food and less product.

Anniversary Party Post Mortem

2008-04-26T04:25:14Z

Ts4z:

This page is for everyone to throw in their comments on what went wrong or right at the 20th [[Anniversary Party]].

This is not the thank-you page; this is a skeweringly analytical interrogation of our souls, on behalf of the 23rd Anniversary Party Committee -- or whoever wants to throw another one of these things. Tell them what is important for them to know!

("It was perfect" is a fine thing to say, but details are keen too.)

== Overall ==

On the [[Anniversary Party]] page, Jay says "The Saturday lunch is the big event. If you can only attend one, please come to the lunch." IMHO, this turned out not to be the case. Friday night was the big event for me. (Nearly) everybody was there, and I got to see everybody; it was big and fluid and open. Saturday was a day of getting together in small groups for longer periods of time. (--zarf)

(To be clear: it was very good that the big open event was first and the lunch was second. I would just bill Friday as the shindig and Saturday as the followup.)

I would suggest that the difference between the two was that Friday's theme was "Look at all the KGB people" and that Saturday's was "The History of KGB" with the memorabilia and longer remarks. As to which one was more or less important, I think that depends on your point of view. (--mg2x)

The scarves are excellent. (--ee0r)

I could have done with less talking and more just hanging out. The officer reports went on a bit long. So yeah, it captured a KGB meeting perfectly. :-) (--sg10)

== Friday Pizza Event ==

Friday officer reports went on a little long -- as I said, I was more in the mood to circulate chaotically. But obviously if they had been shunted to Saturday, then Saturday would have gone on ''way'' too long. Maybe would have been better if just the presidents had given individual reports, and the other officer cadres had had collective goofiness to present. (--zarf)

Ran out of bottled water early. I think it was non-diet soda that was left over.

Snacks were heavily overbought; but they made their way to the hospitality suite on Saturday, and the leftovers from that are being trucked to campus for the next regular KGB meeting. (Or booth teardown?) So no problem there.

The only issue I had with the Pizza Night was the pizza, there was pizza. Huge quantities of pizza. ANd people were carrying it out by boxes. My suggestion would be more veggies and fruit plates. Other than that, everything rocked. And I liked the officer reports, but we should have a filler. If you can't think of something to say, just say your name and year. -kconnors

== Saturday Luncheonus ==

Committee reports were excellent. Long, but in no sense ''too'' long, because all the presenters were good and the longer presenters were terrific. (--zarf)

After 2:00, a lot of people formed a lot of plans for what to do next. Chaotic. I stuck in Goob's company, and he was somewhat tuned into both the older and younger crowds; but not everybody is. It might have been good to have a big chart-paper up for people to write "Hey! Party over here!" "Bunch of us going out to dinner over there!" Etc. On the other hand, perhaps people ''wanted'' to plan for tighter groups. I only raise the issue because I really enjoyed the cross-generational aspect of the weekend. (--zarf)

No schmucks mouthing off? So very, very strange. Cut for lack of time. Very unfortunate, but what can you do without someone to arbitrate? --ts4z

20th Anniversary Party

2007-05-01T06:22:41Z

Ts4z: /* The Central Committee */

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. [[User:Laefer|Jay Laefer]] is coordinating a list of people who would like to receive more party information via email. The rest of us will get our information here.

[http://www.youtube.com/v/9fbdvVUFVYU Promotional Video #01]

==The Plan==

Basic planning tasks:
* Gather contact information.
* Pick a date, probably during Carnival (April 17-20, 2008).
* Book a venue.
* Obtain funds.

==The Central Committee==

If you would like to join the central planning committee who will be held responsible for this travesty, please log in and add your name below.

* [[User:Laefer|Jay Laefer]]
* [[User:Eeyore|Elliott "Eeyore" Evans]]
* [[User:mg2x|Michael Gelman]] (and Cookie Monster)
* [[User:ts4z|Tim Showalter]]

==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.
** The original five-minute [[booth]] -- the one made of styrofoam.
** 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.
