Well, I hope so :)

And this time I haven't scheduled anything for right after so I won't run away without helping get the tv back.

I have a triwing. If we have a Brawl setup this weekend and I show up, you can borrow it, but you'd better remind me again.

Thanks, ftl!

I'll bring my cube too I guess, to go along with my TV. Alex, can I come to your apartment a little early to snatch it?

and ew! Painting? I had enough of that this summer with my 4-year-old campers. paint everywhere... X_X

I considered painting mine a while ago, but you have to sand it down and apply several coats of paint and clear coat and it seemed like too much trouble.

Someone bring a Wii. I guess I'll show up at 1 as long as someone else who feels like playing Brawl arrives around then.

uh, i got spray paint where u can paint over w.e without sanding and without primer

but i think it stays on better if u sand it down before spraying it. I think it has some primer solution in it already hence the no need for primer and such...

um... i only have yellow and green, and i wasn't really planning on having people use it hahaha =_=
i guess if u want it done, give me money? and if u want a different color, it will be more money, cuz i might have to get primer for it.... I guess part of the profit goes to andy for the screwdriver?

we can figure this stuff out on sat or on the boards... um i might come late cuz i have to take this exam thing that lets me do something for the next five years for education which i have no idea about... and apparently i don't need to study for it so hazzah ... so poop

If you don't clear-coat it, I don't think it'll feel the same in your hands. I think it might feel sort of sticky. Not that I'm speaking from experience.

Applying paint on top of the paint that's already there... well, good luck with that.

I'm planning on painting a brand new, unopened silver controller. I'm going to pick up some vinyl spraypaint when I stop by an auto place this month. With vinyl spraypaint all you have to do is wash the covers with soap and water, then spray it on after the parts dry. Apparently it bonds to the plastic much better than traditional spraypaint, and it's supposed to not feel any different in your hands afterwards too.

I think I did not think my cunning plan all the way through....

So I just drove through that part of campus on my way back from a tennis match and, well, apparently the first home football game is today.

I don't think I can find parking anywhere remotely near there. Or at least it didn't look like it, though I could be wrong.

So I think I'll be coming on foot. I can help carry the tv back, but I don't think I can provide vehicular support. Unless I'm wrong about the parking situation.

Yep, this was why we had moved our gatherings to Sundays last year.

There's got to be a spot somewhere. I know some secret locations.

I'm putting it in my backpack now. I'm not sure if I'm coming this weekend, so maybe you should meet me somewhere.

I can be found in the union food court around 12 MWF or 1230 TR, or in the library for the next 2 hours or so after lunch.

Does that mean you have 1150-1200 available? I can meet you between the two buildings. But I'm coming from a distance, so I'll have to walk faster than usual...

Edit: You dummy, you didn't meet me at the appointed place. I walked faster than usual for nothing!

sanding down the controller is tedious

I've got 2 black controllers, and 2 silver controllers, but I won't be able to get them to you for a while.

Also, has anyone heard from Joey Levin? I sent him the non-discrimination form, but I'm not sure if he got it... this is not good.
