Bad Ideas 2007, Holy Crap That's A Long Way Away Pretty Soon

Linky to Bad Ideas 2007 page

There was much discussion about Bad Ideas at the East Campus retreat over IAP '06. Let's not forget everything.

Changes / Improvements

• Elect a Bad Ideas Chairperson. In addition, have appointed persons take care of food, lumber/materials, and money.
• Come up with a really large, repetitive construction project that can be going on in the courtyard all weekend. One thing that has been observed is that there are many people interested in taking part in Bad Ideas, but don't feel experienced/confident/unlazy enough to do a project of their own. If there were to be a large project always going on, a la rush, involvement in Bad Ideas could be significantly increased. Thus, more awesomeness.

Mmmkay?
