Once upon a time - and twice on Sundays.

equipment list

we need to start organizing who is going to bring what.
I am thinking of making certain activities (Sarah's secret message service, Sloonan's mini golf, a possibly a jedi lightsaber picture booth, etc) low cost pay to play activities. The idea will be to try to cover some of the expenses, and if we manage to make a profit, give it to Jeff as part of the SPARC donation.
As such
1) keep receipts on anything you buy to see if we can try to get you reimbursed. If we can't do a full reimbursement, I will try to do at least a proportional reimbursement.
2) please only buy stuff for things we've talked about and ok'ed. I would love to have a $1000 Van Graf generator to play with here, but we will not make enough money to cover it, so I cannot ask anyone to buy it.
3) if you can grab it and bring it, please respond so we know

I'm busy with dissertation stuff, so I'm going to have to rely on you guys for brainstorming equipment needs. If I've forgotten about a project please add it to the list as well.

I also have a small portable laser show projector I was going to bring.
Oh yeah, Amanda is bringing a bubble machine too.; ▶ Reply to This
