Blackout 2003

[Edward Campodonico]

So they canceled the evening lecture session that night and swapped the poster session which was supposed to happen the next day, with the lecture session. I think we had Dave Stewart's kids and all their friends and we recruited these guys to get poster board and set the posters up outside (the posters could not be indoors because it was too dark). We did that really fast, I think it took about a half hour but then we started to think, ok it is getting really dark and night's coming, what are we going to do here. So they set up tikki torches, they had three hundred tikki torches from a Hawaiian luau party that they had in the middle of the summer, so they set up tikki torches and it actually was very nice. It was very festive.
