So what about having the party in [http://www.housing.cmu.edu/TheUnderground/ The Underground]? It's right near Midway, serves food and beverages, has some comfy seating, and plenty of room. A bunch of us alumni hung out there once during Carnival and it was OK. The food was OK (Gullifty's menu), but nothing special. The party could supply appetizers, drinks, some entrees like salads or sandwiches. No alcohol, probably, but maybe that would be OK if everything else was acceptable.  The main "pros" are proximity and atmosphere. Also, if KGB reserves it, it's probably free. The main "cons" are that it's on campus and has no connected outdoor area.--[[User:Eeyore|Eeyore]] 09:14, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

:I'd rather do something located off-campus and with alcohol available, but those are preferences.  Logistically, I'm concerned about what hours we could hold the event at The Underground, as well as whether it can accomodate the 100-150 people I'm hoping will attend.  --[[User:Laefer|Laefer]] 16:19, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

:How about the Singleton Room in Roberts?  It's fairly large, we could spill out and claim the lobby, and it's immediately adjacent to the outside patio along the top of the building providing convenient access to both a roof and a mechanical area.  [[User:Tomstrong|Tomstrong]] 09:37, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

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 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...
