Hey everyone,

We're going to be having a surprise Demo Reel Night this Wednesday at
6:00 pm in the SIG center (across from the Moore labs). This is a
great opportunity to get some constructive feedback and sit in the
new, very comfortable rolly chairs that you've been admiring through
the windows. There will be free food, or, as Dan puts it, "FREE

Anyone need a little extra cash?

Hey Everyone,
A friend of mine from class needs a brochure done for a start up,
seems to be a pretty simple project for anyone that knows indesign/
photoshop, and she is willing to pay ( i don't know how much, but it
sounds like a simple project either way)

be running a mini animation tutorial for anyone who is interested in
learning the basics. Thanks to everyone who continued to come this

So, it turns out that someone screwed up and let another group reserve
Moore today. Since there aren't that many of us, we'll be informally
moving over to Addams instead. I'll be waiting in the lobby of Moore
until about 1:15 until I head over there. Sorry for the
inconvenience. I'm working on making sure this doesn't happen again...

Now, before we all attack the squirrel with paint, we're should vote
