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
PASSES
16 yes, 1 no, 13 abstain
Notes

Marlena will post a link to the subreddit
people who don't have an account need one, but it's real easy and doesn't require an email address

even if you didn't vote yes you can still work on booth!
