Hey guys,
What should Mike and Ben's fraternity name be?

Right now I've got: "Mu Nu Beta" = MNB

- Sean Hart

Okay folks.... we ARE getting a new G4 for Mike and ben/Hall riot to cut
their material on... yay!

Mike and Ben will be using it for most of the time, obviosuly...

We have the machine now, and have ordered the RAM and harddrives that we
need ... we should have a functional system by thursday, or at the latest,
friday...
the machine will be where the trinity is now... it will be using the same
monitor as the trinity ...

Cool? cool.

Hi everyone,
    Those of you that haven't heard yet, one of the cameras (the newer
one) has been missing all day. No one knows where it is or what happened
to it or when it was last seen.
    If any of you have any idea where it could possibly be, please let
Rizwan or me know. I think you all understand how serious this is.
    Tomorrow Mainline needs to edit and Mike and Ben needs to tape.
Because of the extra hard drive space available, we recommend that you
log and capture everything onto the computer and work on it from there,
leaving the camera free for use.
    The Mainline organizers and I will be arranging filming/editing
times for the rest of the week, and we'll see what happens from there.
     From now on, whether or not we have one camera or two, WHENEVER any
equipment leaves the station with you, it is YOUR responsibility to make
sure that someone fills out that poorly attached board which is by the
cabinet that contains the equipment. This applies to
writers/directors/producers/videogs, whoever. Just make sure it's filled
out before you leave and erased when you return the stuff. We don't want
to lose track of any equipment again.
    I'm not sure who the "mainline_all" email goes to. Please forward
this to whoever you think has not received it.
Thank you,
Roberta

Thor and Myles,
I put your names on the party list for Delta Sig (as well as the
name of *'s friend who will also be with us). Since their list is
already 400 people long, Sean Mount recommends that we get there no
later than 10:30 or else we'll be waiting in line or may not get in or
something. I'm assuming, since we'll have all the equipment at the
"high" meeting, we don't need to go back down to the station, so I told
* and Leah and Price (both of whom will probably tag along) that
we'll most likely be meeting somewhere by the frats/apartments. Tell me
around what time we'll be at Delta Sig, that way Sean Mount can wait for
us outside.
Myles, find out from Thor if you need to be in drag for the party. I
believe there will also be a party at Pi Kappa Phi, which should be
easier to get into.
Thor, the President of Delta Sig will need to look over all footage that
we use of the party and ok it. Just so you know. I don't know what the
rules are for Pi Kappa Phi. I'll find out tomorrow afternoon.
Also, PLEASE tell me what else you need.
Roberta

Hello all,

Just a reminder about tonight. Tim will be sending you all directions very
shortly on how to get to his apartment. Remember, 8:00 for people getting
high, a little after 8:30 for the rest of us.

WE ARE ON A VERY TIGHT SCHEDULE SO BE PROMPT. Those of you smoking need to
get there at 8:00 so that your fully lit in time, and when we arrive we all
need to be ready to go so that we fcan move on with the filming that evening.

BE ON TIME TONIGHT.
-Sean

Hi everyone,
    Myles needs some more people for the "pranks on frats" skitch today
at 2pm. Please come if you can. Especially if you're a girl.
   Thanks
    Roberta

Subject: Editing of Jessica's shotdown
Received: 4.23.00 1:20 PM

I've been out of commission the last two days due to illness, but I'm feeling more or less back on track. Not that you cared, but I thought I'd update you.

I know that at the writer's meeting I volunteered to edit Jessica's piece for the women's episode tomorrow (!!!); is anybody else available to do so? If not, I will DEFINITELY do it, because I said I would, but I have a couple days of work to catch up on, and could use the extra time. Let me know if you're going to be editing, or have time to kill; I can owe you a favor, bake you a cheesecake, allow you to call me "Niles Mye," etc.

So yeah, let me know. We're on for 6 tonight to talk business and learn how to do neat computer stuff, yes?

How did "getting into frats" go? One of my friends from Pi Kappa Phi didn't find it very humorous.. did anything bad happen?
