OLD BUSINESS

   The Thing!
       failing all his interviews not Drew's fault

NEW BUSINESS

   motion to make an allocation for $65 to pay booth fee this year
       this year's theme is "the Best of the Best"
       9 days until meeting in which individual org's themes are selected
       tomorrow (if we vote to do booth) exec will pick chairs
       at next Monday's meeting we'd pick themes
       Dillon:
           sophomore, last year was first booth
           "Booth is a lot of fun, but also a lot of work, but ultimately worth it."
           It's a lot of work, there are a lot of builds, but it's FUN
           Build week is really cool
           we won 2nd place this year!
       dsisson:
           maybe we have more money to buy better wood!
               addendum: MAYBE we have more money. maybe.
       Marlena:
           done booth for two years, wants to do booth!
       Mike:
           we've said good things! But don't forget that it's a LOT of work
           we need to know that there will be people working on it
           we can't do it if just the booth chairs show up to builds(it would be a crappy booth)
       Dillon:
           in general, 3 categories for voters
               don't want to do a booth: vote no
               want to do a booth, don't know if can help: vote abstain
               want to do booth, will be able to help: vote yes
                   yes means at a minimum, you'll show up at build week and pretty much definitely move on and probably some builds
       how many people have expressed interest in booth chairing?
           3
       Dillon:
           Booth costs a minimum of a couple thousand dollars
           we are sufficiently equipped to do booth
               it won't negatively impact our other activities
               this isn't a one-or-the other kind of decision
       we don't know when the planning meetings would be, but we'll find out
           usually once a week in the evening during first semester
       Broman:
           did booth all three years
           really great experiences (but different)
           freshman
               put a lot of effort in
               went to basically every build
               got to build week and died
                   not literally
               booth chairs put a ton of time and effort in
               didn't think he could chair because he didn't think he could make it through build week
           sophomore
               not a chair
               still put a lot of work in
               still relieved to be able to go home during build week
               decided to be a chair the next week
           junior
               was a chair (with scorri and ryan)
               made some changes (3 builds a week instead of 2)
                   bigger drain on chairs, asked more from members
                   got a lot out of it!
           not going to be a chair this year
           our chairs aren't gonna be any of the ones from last year
               3 new chairs this year, but Ryan and Broman will be around
               has confidence in the chairs
       Marlena:
           IT'S GONNA BE GREAT WE'RE GONNA DO BOOTH MAYBE
       blitz booth?
           Broman: "it's a smaller, shittier booth"
           half the size of a full booth, one story
           most of the time you only get one, MAYBE two small rooms
               very restrictive
       we'll try to take into account the resources we have in terms of people when planning
       how much is prebuilt?
           so how it works:
               you build flats beforehand (structures made out of 2x4s)
               ours are usually a max of 6ft wide
               after move on the flats go up, and then the ply goes up (that's usually painted beforehand)
               move on is when we bring stuff onto midway
                   it's the Friday before carnival
               build week is that Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday
                   and then it bleeds through Wednesday night into Thursday morning
               Carnival opens Thursday afternoon and goes through Saturday
               and then Sunday is teardown
       Dillon:
           as orgs go, we have a great spot for where we prebuild
               called the Kage, under Stever, so it's right next to midway
       furniture?
           sometimes we build stuff
       this is the last year on midway, so it's kind of specially significant
           also maybe the last year for two story booths?
       (midway is the morewood gardens parking lot)
       how many people would we need at each build?
           that's dependant on many factors
           anecdotal evidence:
               3 builds a week
                   5-9 people came on the weekdays, 10ish people came on the weekends
                   worked great last year
