[LTER-asm2015committee] "Entertainment"

[John Vande Castle]

The meeting is coming together pretty well.  Working groups slots are 
filling up and posters are streaming in.  So the one missing link for 
the ASM is what to do for the final event.

Originally we were pursuing some sort of band.  One tentative one was 
selected but people didn't think some, or that type of music playing in 
the background was really going to work.  There were suggestions for 
other bands, but checking into them they either "were no longer playing 
together" or were VERY expensive.

So one of our main discussion points is where do we go from here.

Other suggestions we have include some sort of "game night" - perhaps 
volleyball where folks could sign up for teams, or sites could duke it 
out for bragging rights.  Perhaps hoops .   Bob suggested shuffle board 
(I tried not to say "really?) - but maybe .   We are going to be in a 
gym after all.

Perhaps we could charge the student committee with coming up with music 
(like maybe something everybody won't hate).  They actually did this 
last time - after the old folks left and went to bed,  they took over, 
plugged a Mac into the sound system and took it from there...  Or at 
least that is what I heard...

What else????

We need to decide on something, hoepfully during our call in 2 weeks so 
we can work with the YMCA if we are going to do a pizza night or 
whatever - we've already ordered all the other things.
