Almost Done!

Yesterday, all the groups set up their words around campus. Our word (Expand) was placed in front of strong hall. The 'E' 'X' on the south side of the sidewalk, the 'P' 'A' elevated on the bench that holds the Jayhawk statue and the 'N' 'D' on the north side of the Strong Hall sidewalk. Our placement, and timing was great. Our word was bold and its horizontal orientation paralleled the long windows that stretch across the front of Strong Hall. Also, the sun setting highlighted the white of our words making them stand out even more.

Although the end result seemed flawless, we had out fare share of crisis earlier that day. our photos were actually taken at the Oread Hotel and not in front Strong Hall. After spending all day sunday running back and forth to the Oread dragging our letters onto the elevators and on and off of balconies and rooftops Yvonne and I thought we had all the shots we needed, which was great because my efforts to hold down three foot tall letters in the 40 mph (I assume) gusts on top a roof were failing miserably. Happy with our results we promised to get out of the way of all the KU elite checking in and out of the Hotel. Little did we know some higher power was going to spite us the next day when Yvonne tried to upload the images. MEMORY CARD CORRUPT. WHAT!?...... crisis ensued.

Thankfully we rounded up Ashley to load the letters onto one of the busses and hauled it all back to the Oread. After bothering the deskies to reopen the rooms we needed ( aside from one because it was being occupied by what we speculated to be a couple here on a romantic KU escape due to the scattered rose petals we walked over the day before in our attempt to get out on the balcony). With some of the pictures retaken we rushed back to the design building to retouch and weight down out letters and set them up before the tour. DONE.

Now onto the book...
