October 2008 3-day Festivus

[fang_of_fenris]

For anyone who recalls last week's announcement to start a 3-day event for publicity's sake. This will be the thread for preparing for the event. My aim is that we shoot for Tues - Thurs next week (14th - 16th) or the week after (21st-23rd).

I'm already planning to invite the amine club to present one of their features with GEEC. Other than that, the only items that really need to be addressed are what generic times events will be featured, who will run those events, what rooms we'll end up in, and who will maintain the general freetime space.

As of now, the plan is to reserve rooms sometime between the 22nd (w-day) and 24th (Friday). All that is pending successful scheduling with the center. I hope to do that this Friday, the 10th.

Possible events include:
- the first round of the GEEC Round-Robin One-Shot-a-Thon. We will have a series of these One-Shot adventures with no connecting theme, systemic schedule, and no real requirements other than acceptable numbers of attendants at any given time. Attendance matters will most likely be handled on a first-to-sign-up, first-served basis, but we will also make it inclusive for newcomers to join up somehow.
- A possible feature from Anime Club (I'm pushing for Cowboy Bebop, but would like to hear other ideas).
- Some pluggage from the Card Game Club (that just dawned on me now) like a brutal game of spades, blackjack, or even a pinochle tournament
- insert your own idea here

Originally, I envisioned this program as a 3-day event like we have done in years back, but then I recognized my own lack of time to invest and laziness, so I'm shooting for a 1 or 2 day event. Perhaps one power day would be the best? ...
...Anyhow, once we have room(s) secured, the next step will be to flesh out the activity space during next week's GEEC meeting (the 15th). Please attend with ideas or post them here. That's all, later!

...And in other news, this activity was canceled, again. I'm sure another three-days-of-gaming type of thing will come up sometime soon, so it's cool, but I cannot help but wonder whether it is worth investing my time into anything for g.e.e.c. when the many members we have cannot seem to commit one iota of their precious time to something that's both beneficial to them and a good idea.

I only have a few classes so I could probably help out the next time you want to try and get this 3-day thing going....although I've never actually done anything like this before so I'm not too sure how helpful I'd be

Thank you for your offer, kind person with a title I cannot really remember. Unfortunately, this activity has been put down. It will likely be resurrected later in the cycle when people have decided to do it. For now, though, the activity is down.
