(21:25:27) Daniel Anderson: Still the keg rocket?

(21:34:37) Daniel Anderson: When is it not terrible hot there? (21:34:45) Joshua Vincent Nelson: lol (21:34:53) Joshua Vincent Nelson: what do you consider terrible hot? (21:34:58) Daniel Anderson: 100 plus (21:34:59) Me: in az, all the time (21:35:10) Joshua Vincent Nelson: only 100 plus in June July August (21:35:11) Joshua Vincent Nelson: usually (21:35:11) Daniel Anderson: might want to take it back a notch though (21:35:15) Joshua Vincent Nelson: some September and May (21:35:18) Daniel Anderson: since I;m from vegas (21:35:30) Daniel Anderson: so lets say 95 (21:35:32) Me: maybe some long weekend (21:35:42) Me: that everyone has a day or two off (21:35:45) Joshua Vincent Nelson: there any long weekend out then?

(21:36:10) Joshua Vincent Nelson: lol (21:36:13) Daniel Anderson: late fall early spring would be idea (21:36:22) Daniel Anderson: if the weather can more or less be counted on (21:36:34) Joshua Vincent Nelson: would an early spring launch (aka: spring break) work for people? (21:36:38) Joshua Vincent Nelson: when are all of your spring breaks? (21:36:43) Daniel Anderson: uh.. (21:36:50) Me: [checking] (21:36:56) James Welch: same (21:37:23) Me: 3/24-28 (21:37:32) Me: but we're generally off from everyone else (21:37:36) Daniel Anderson: I think it starts the weekend of St. Pattricks day (21:37:44) Brian Young: 10-14 (21:38:11) Joshua Vincent Nelson: March 15-23 (21:38:23) Joshua Vincent Nelson: so of course none of us line up (21:38:25) Me: nice sprad (21:38:26) Joshua Vincent Nelson: lol (21:38:27) Me: *spread (21:38:33) James Welch: 15 to 23 (21:38:38) Joshua Vincent Nelson: yay (21:38:43) Joshua Vincent Nelson: Jake stays UofA in his breaks anyway (21:38:51) Joshua Vincent Nelson: hmm (21:39:06) Joshua Vincent Nelson: might do a 'date will shift according to spring breaks of participating schools' (21:39:10) James Welch: (pulls at collar) Guyyah (21:39:12) Joshua Vincent Nelson: ok I'll draw up preliminary guidelines (21:39:18) Joshua Vincent Nelson: for next meeting (21:39:23) Me: that sounds good (21:39:29) Joshua Vincent Nelson: Want me to do X PRIZE Cup stuff while I'm talking? (21:39:37) Daniel Anderson: sure (21:39:37) Me: we can hopefulyl get a better feel for spring breaks then too (21:39:45) Me: and can maybe do the comp between spring breaks (21:40:08) Me: but anyway, go ahead with xpc (21:40:19) Joshua Vincent Nelson: Alright, so who here is planning on going to the Cup this year? (21:40:25) Joshua Vincent Nelson: October 27 and 28 (21:40:28) Me: still up in the air here (21:40:33) Brian Young: most likely (21:40:43) Brian Young: its a football weekend, so not sure how many ill be able to bring (21:40:44) Me: (now that space elevator not there) (21:40:48) Daniel Anderson: So do I (21:40:49) Daniel Anderson: yeah (21:40:51) James Welch: if that girl can give us free lodging and I can convince my school to pay for travel (21:40:55) Daniel Anderson: Its in Vegas (21:41:05) Joshua Vincent Nelson: lodging is easy (21:41:08) Joshua Vincent Nelson: camp out (21:41:12) Joshua Vincent Nelson: or roomshare a hotel (21:41:19) Daniel Anderson: Camping isn;t a good idea (21:41:21) James Welch: but this girl had a house (21:41:30) Brian Young: well, we cant have too many there though (21:41:33) Daniel Anderson: unless they changed it(there were no good camp grounds nearby) (21:41:35) Joshua Vincent Nelson: yeah Jake but we're not forcing her to have 12 of us stay in one person's house (21:41:43) Joshua Vincent Nelson: Dan, different location (21:41:47) Joshua Vincent Nelson: and there were some (21:41:47) Brian Young: i think we would probably have to cut it off below 10 (21:41:49) James Welch: who is thinking about you? (21:41:55) James Welch: me and brian saw her first (21:42:04) Daniel Anderson: Its still las cruces isn;t it? (21:42:07) Joshua Vincent Nelson: nope (21:42:11) Joshua Vincent Nelson: Holloman Air Force Base (21:42:13) Daniel Anderson: oh (21:42:15) Joshua Vincent Nelson: up in Alamogordo (21:42:20) Daniel Anderson: sweet (21:42:21) Joshua Vincent Nelson: about 45 minutes north of Las Cruces (21:42:31) Me: is that less of an arm and a leg to travel to (21:42:44) Joshua Vincent Nelson: honostly, just as far from El Paso (21:42:48) Joshua Vincent Nelson: for those of you flying in (21:42:54) Joshua Vincent Nelson: about an hours drive from El Paso (21:43:00) Joshua Vincent Nelson: though there is a second alternative (21:43:07) Joshua Vincent Nelson: that may or may not be considered a pain in the ass (21:43:17) Joshua Vincent Nelson: UA-SEDS will be having a van or somethin gof the sort going there (21:43:24) Joshua Vincent Nelson: so you could fly from Utah to Tucson (21:43:29) Joshua Vincent Nelson: and then hop our van (21:43:44) Joshua Vincent Nelson: though that would be a 4-5 hour drive (21:43:48) Joshua Vincent Nelson: but cheap airfare wise (21:43:49) Daniel Anderson: seems like it wouldnt be big savings over flying to Alamagordo (21:43:50) Joshua Vincent Nelson: relatively (21:44:04) Brian Young: also, we could pick people up from el paso if needed (21:44:10) Joshua Vincent Nelson: dunno where Alamagordo's small airport does flights to (21:44:14) Joshua Vincent Nelson: and yeah (21:44:20) Joshua Vincent Nelson: that might be a good option Brian (21:44:20) Daniel Anderson: wait (21:44:35) Daniel Anderson: I'm think albequerky(sp?) (21:44:44) James Welch: albequerque (21:44:49) Joshua Vincent Nelson: yeah Alamagoro is different (21:45:09) Joshua Vincent Nelson: though pluses for SEDS: lot of space sites nearby (21:45:24) Joshua Vincent Nelson: solar observatory, VLA, trinity site, shuttle harbor, etc.. (21:45:25) James Welch: so brian, would you be able to pick up from El Paso on your way through? (21:45:43) Brian Young: yeah, we'd have to work out the timing, but its on the way (21:45:54) Me: that's certainly a plus (21:46:02) Joshua Vincent Nelson: so back to the principal point (21:46:12) James Welch: okay, b/c I found the prices from El Paso to be cheaper on a lot of flights (21:46:12) Joshua Vincent Nelson: if we have enough people, what do we want to have at the Cup (21:46:32) James Welch: exhibition area like they had from Embry Riddle last year (21:46:43) Me: what dod they do last year (21:46:49) Joshua Vincent Nelson: exhibition area? (21:46:55) James Welch: yes (21:47:09) James Welch: it was in the middle tent where people could walk around and look at things (21:47:16) James Welch: we can advertise there for a while (21:47:29) Joshua Vincent Nelson: if we put up a table, we need to keep it manned. (21:47:33) James Welch: (unless that is cancelled this year...?) (21:47:40) Me: btw, about that: (21:47:44) Joshua Vincent Nelson: there is a exhibits tent (21:47:48) Me: I have a query in regarding getting a booth (21:47:52) Joshua Vincent Nelson: but not really a tent, a hangar (21:47:55) Joshua Vincent Nelson: yes Ryan? (21:48:00) Me: peter directed me to someone, so we'll see where that goes (21:48:07) Me: but sounds positive (21:48:23) Joshua Vincent Nelson: who did he direct you to? (21:48:36) Me: Marc Schulman (21:48:40) Joshua Vincent Nelson: ah cool (21:48:48) Me: VP marketing (21:48:55) Joshua Vincent Nelson: yeah, just dont let them try to make ya pay ;-) (21:49:04) Me: don't worry (21:49:06) Brian Young: i think that volunteering and being sure that everyone gets seds pins can be some of the best advertising for us... just make sure we get them handed out in advance (21:49:23) Me: buttons? (21:49:28) Brian Young: yeah (21:49:31) Brian Young: buttons, thats what i meant (21:49:38) Me: just need to get a real button maker..

(21:49:52) James Welch: or is that already done (21:50:07) Joshua Vincent Nelson: those buttons they made last year rocked (21:50:08) Me: the best way is to fina an art dept that has one (21:50:21) Joshua Vincent Nelson: they were made by Ben Brocket (21:50:25) Joshua Vincent Nelson: dunno if he ordered them (21:50:28) Joshua Vincent Nelson: or made them himself (21:50:33) Me: sicne they are several hundred $$ (21:50:39) Joshua Vincent Nelson: can we have someone take the lead on buttons (21:50:44) Joshua Vincent Nelson: asking Ben how he got them made last year (21:50:47) Me: I'll look into it again (21:50:51) Joshua Vincent Nelson: and designing a new button (21:50:52) Joshua Vincent Nelson: k (21:50:55) Joshua Vincent Nelson: Thanks Ryan (21:51:00) Joshua Vincent Nelson: Ok, I assume we want to have a social?
