Major updates to Spook 'n 'Splore info
< on 6/8/2006 1:33 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
I just updated the Event listing for Spook 'n 'Splore yesterday. At this point in time, there are 28 people from 7 states attending. Because of popular demand, registration has been extended until Wednesday, June 14 if anyone else would like to join. Please keep in mind that total registrants is limited to 50.

For those of you who don't know what Spook 'n 'Splore is, we're renting the former WV State Penitentiary in Moundsville. It was constructed in 1886 and closed in 1994 after the Supreme Court decided a prison sentence there was "cruel and unusual punishment".

The current mix of attendees will include people who are there for photo opportunities, people working on research projects, people using ghost hunting equipment, people who just want to climb and play all over the prison, people who are hoping to be a little spooked, and people who touch on all those areas -- so most anyone is welcome.

Please be aware there is a registration fee for this event, since we're paying for the use of the prison. Since June 1, the fee has raised to $30.

Is it true that you must be 18 in order to attend?

Yes, because we're renting out the whole prison and will be there w/o a tour guide or anything.

I hope there will also be people attending who would let me touch all over THEIR areas.

(Because no one makes any dirty, useless comments now that Sherman's gone.)

Also, the registration hike is only an extra $5, which really isn't $5, if you deduct paypal fees and aggravation expenses.

I drove one of my university's SUVs today, and it was nice. I'm going to see if they'll let me have one for the trip, since I'm the research gal.

Well, Paypal fees, if applicable, are added on... They weren't at first, because they weren't supposed to charge me. Then they hanged their minds. So I started adding it to the Paypal fees. You were one of the lucky first people that escaped them.

I volunteer.

This is going to be so profoundly rad. I can't wait. What a great way to start my vacation.

We're going to do Pittsburgh on Friday the 21st, so if anyone's interested, drop me a PM.

So far, there's 6 of us for a day of exploration in Pittsburgh.

You guys.

Ah, but seriously, I study how people engage built landscapes. I'll be asking people questions, if they'd care to be interviewed (and by interviewed, I mean asking people, "Hey, are ya having a good time? Rwoar! I say "tastes great" and you say "less filling"). And some people better frickin' care, because I totally bugged Oherian until he put this thing together, and had to fill out massive amounts of paperwork to be cleared to talk to people with my official credentials. There's also more about it in the other Spook and 'Splore thread. : )

But on that topic, I'm going to be pestering my advisor about what recording equipment I'm getting and whether or not I can have money and/or a vehicle next week. Man, even the office of research compliance is excited about this shit!

I hope so!

As a reminder -- REGISTRATION IS OVER THIS WEDNESDAY. That's over, caput, finished, done for. I've got to send the money in, and I'll be very busy in the coming weeks -- out of town, buying a house, working on a house, moving Lil-trouble to her new apartment, moving me to my house, etc. Exciting, but stressful.

I'm not sure if the university SUV thing is going to work out. Despite the fact that Ben and I are faculty, I don't think they were charmed by the idea of paying for me to drive people from the internet around.

So, I'm going to try to arrange the transportation through my capacity as president of the graduate students' association, but I think that will fall through as well.

So, ladies, we need to get our dates straight so we can figure out the carpool situation. I know we're interested in going to Pittsburg, but that might not work for people who have unflexible work schedules.

Would any one be interested in splitting the cost of renting an SUV or a van? The earliest I'd be able to leave is 7am on the 21st, because that's when I start my vacation. It sucks, but it's true.

YES! I think that would be more convenient because we could have a bigger vehicle, and split the insurance for multiple drivers.

i'm over 25 but i won't be able to drive. i still havn't resolved my issues from the nashville meet. on the other hand, we may be bringing a rental from memphis. i'll see if we can't get an suv.

that way we can look like the cartel pulling into the meet. i recommend dark suit, skinny ties and sunglasses as well.

See if you can get an SUV with machine gun turrets mounted on the side.
