Fox 13 News

[BlueN...@gmail.com]

I just received this message from Dr. Fehr (see below).

If anyone is available Wednesday, Feb. 4th, at 8:00am, we would
greatly appreciate your help
(Zach, I hope that you will be able to show up).

We need to show the media that we are a large active group... this is
a great precursor for getting sponsors!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gentlemen,

Laura Moody of Fox 13 News would like to interview the four of us, if
possible, this Wednesday February 4 at 9:30am at USF.

Joe, I don’t know if you’re in town (I’m hoping you are).

Coyt, I know this means another school absence – if that’s a problem,
we can see if they can get you at another time.

Nick, ENB 109 was not available, so we’re going to do this in the
Circuits Lab. That’s a somewhat presentable room, and it should look
good on the video (with the lab equipment and stuff). We’ll need to
spend some time setting up a few props, and perhaps a .PPT show with
X2 photos, etc. on Wednesday morning. Would you please “summon the
troops” to see if we can get a couple of volunteers. I’ll be there at
8:15.


PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE SO I KNOW WHO TO EXPECT ON WEDNESDAY.
I apologize for the short notice, but you know the media!


Dr. Fehr

I guess I could go, though I don't know what I could really do. Which
room is the Circuits Lab?

I'd probably be able to make it but I'm still new to X-labs, I would have no idea what to talk about regarding the last balloon launch....

I believe the circuits lab is ENB 238 (but I am positive that it is the last lab in the hallway of the second floor of ENB by the elevator).

Here is the list of people who have already volunteered to help Wednesday morning:

1. Keven

2. Ben

3. Zach

4. David

Thank you guys for offering your time!

I you have your X-Labs shirt, please wear them!! For anyone who would like one, I will get the website from Joe (you should be able to place an order).

Have fun in WAMI lab Brad; that was probably one of my favorite courses.

And Ben, thanks for the complement.  Coyt and myself finished cleaning the meeting room over the weekend, however, the workshop and storage room still needs work.

I'll see most of you tomorrow morning; thank you again!

Those were made for the last expo ... so if you are a member from
then, you have one. Don't we still have the X-labs silk screen in the
trailer somewhere?

I'll see if I can locate my spare and wear mine so we at least have
one or two shirts in the picture.

[Zachary Stone]

I am in Orlando on a different type of business trip, I'll be getting
up at the crack of dawn to make this meeting (I'm shooting to be ready
on campus at 9am).

Remember that a lot of us are new to Xlabs and where not involved in
the previous projects, if someone can please call me sometime tomorrow
( Nick? Joe?) to just fill me in somewhat on X2 and any other points
of interest that would be a real help, otherwise me being there in
person won't really mean much.

My cell is 305 431 3154, I'll be up around 6am so anytime from then
until the meeting you can reach me.

Thanks,
Zach

[BlueN...@gmail.com]

Apparently there is going to be a live shoot tomorrow morning (around
6:00 am or 7:00 am) for Fox 13.

Is there anyone who will be available tomorrow early morning?!
I will re-email everyone with more detail when they become available

Thanks

Nick

Here are the details about the shoot tomorrow morning:

Apparently the piece that was filmed on Feb. 4th in the Circuits Lab
is going to air tomorrow morning during the 7:00 am news. In addition
to that piece, they would like a live interview; so they will be
arriving on campus at 6:00 am to prepare.

Dr. Fehr recommended using the MEMs lab for a "sciencey backdrop." (I
believe that Alex is/has talked to Dr. Bansali).

I know that 6:00am is an ungodly hour, but I would greatly appreciate
one or two people there (in addition to myself). I'm not sure what
they are looking for tomorrow morning, but I would still like to have
an X-Labs presence!

Please let me know who is willing to wake up!

Nick

I can go.  It'll suck not getting sleep...but I'll be there.  Dressing style?

[Nick Melton]

Thank you so much Keven!!

I would recommend wearing a polo or button-up shirt at the most; I'm still going to wear jeans

Below is the link of the piece that Fox13 produced, enjoy!!
http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/good_day/usf_xlab_021809


Also, we will have a meeting this Friday at 3:30pm in ETS 102 (the
portable behind ENB and adjacent to the solar panels).

I believe that we will be working on the fusion reactor, finalizing
the design of our massive tesla coil, and gathering the required parts
needs for our next launch. In addition, we will probably look at the
solar panels and trailer set-up to see what steps we should complete
next.

And, as a reminder, we have another demo on Feb. 28th. I will discuss
the details during Friday's meeting.

I hope everyone's week is going well!!

Nick
