Dean - wanna make polo mallets tonight?

Lee - bring that 3-speed hub over!

Everybody else - stop by if you want to say hi, look at the machines, or whatever.

I'm thinking 6:30PM in the , go in the roll-up garage door on the left at the end of the alley between the Mechanical Engineering Building and the Engineering Annex building.

I'll be there! Hopefully I don't get lost.. I'm good at that.

EDIT* Ok, after looking at that map, I know I'm going to get lost. Someone want to meet up before heading over? Someone who won't get lost? haha

denny, how late are you going to be there? i'm going to be coming down from bible study up in greenwood at about 830 or 9pm.

i guess i'll give you a call and figure out if you're still around or not when i get back near there.

Dean, is better?

Lee, yeah, give me a call. I have plenty of work to do on both of my bikes, so I'll probably still be there.

Get your ass to the C15 parking lot, behind the ME Building.

Oh yeah, and I'm a little short on mallet materials. So, if you find anything good, bring it. Otherwise we're gonna have to go MacGyver on it.

People look at you funny when you ride around with an axe handle sticking out of your backpack. I <3 hardwicks.

They also have some lightweight aluminum tubing, I didn't get any, but feel free to stop by there on your way over. They're open until 6:00.

Or, maybe I'll head back that way... maybe I will.

Found some solid bamboo in my neighborhood:


$2.50 for 6' of 1" solid, 8 in stock at 64th and Roosevelt.

Who wants some?

1 stock, i'll swing by on my way home and get 1. denny, do you have forsner bits? i've got pvc, enough for 4 or so. also there will be a nice set of bamboo mallets as a prize for the race on jan 14th.

Ok, so how do I get there from Red Square again? Someone has to help me out! It's going to be dark and cold and I'm going to be wondering around the scary campus all by my self! :[

OK, ride out of Red Square on the northwest corner, by the Broken Obelisk, the only way out without going down stairs.

Stay to the right, go through the walkway by the Allen library. It doesn't matter how you get there, but keep going in this direction and you'll hit the main campus road, Stevens Way. Go right (South).

You'll go by a building on the left with red brick in the courtyard, and a big overhung 3rd story, and ivy growing on it. Hang a left after that building, and before the Mechanical Engineering Buliding (big ramp with a railing). Go down the alley, take a right at the "elbow", and the machine shop is at the end of that alley on the left.

I'll fire up the searchlight with the Penguin logo. You can't miss it.

Oh yeah, and I now have enough stuff to make 7 mallets, kickass!

Denny, is it cool if I stop by? I've got two old lacrosse shafts to bring. I'm not sure if I'll make it out but if I don't hear from you I might just stop by.
