Project Meeting #1 - Notes

DC and Jeannie met on 10-8-11, and here are the possible projects we discussed.  We would both be fine with doing any of these:

Where's Waldo.  Build a profile for EMU Waldo on Facebook, then post messages on FB and around campus (flyers, etc.) hinting to people where he's hiding.  "Waldo" would be either a sticker or stand-up prop that can be moved, or a spray-chalk/stencil/etc. on the ground somewhere around campus.  We could add other characters, too, such as the wizard, the hat, cane, key, etc., and hide those using stand-up props to represent them.  Each would be moved periodically.  Optionally, we could have a small and/or sponsored prize for the first person to find each one of them and post about it on the Facebook page.

Moveable signs.  This would be pretty much Amy's first idea, which we talked about during the joint class on the first day of collaboration.  Create stand-up signs (similar size/shape to this), each with instructions about where people should put them, and place them around campus. We could then make a Facebook fan page for the project, (with the link on the signs for people to see) and have people post pictures, etc. about where they saw the signs last, or hints to where they're putting them.Possible messages:
-"Put this in your favorite spot."
-"Put this somewhere that needs renovating."
-"You've found Waldo! Where should he hide next?"
-Real wet floor sign (DC owns one) in an absurd place, move to other absurd places
-Dry-erase sign with "What should this sign say?" -- check regularly, take pictures for blog
-Sponsored sign, that if people find it, they get a free meal/gift somewhere?

Collectible checklist?  Have fliers/banners hanging around campus composing some sort of checklist, each with one item on the list.  Make them look official, and have people try to collect them all.

========================================
PRACTICAL NOTES:
-Look up how much spray chalk costs, find alternatives if it's expensive
-The Scrap Box in A2 has good, cheap supplies for building moveable signs, props, etc. If we choose either of the top 2 options, we can probably set a date to find what we need there and make things together.
