 I spoke with her tonight to clear up the numbers. The price would either be
$130 for condoms alone, or "$205" for the addition of lube as part of the
safe-sex supplies for Halloween. Just giving a heads up before tomorrow's
meeting.

Hi Raff-
There are a few different choices about condoms. I think CHC (ie community
health) can decide about it, but I don't know what you want to do about lube.
Even the cheapest bulk lube will be over 150 dollars. And depending on the
quality, could be much more for a good case of 1000 lube-etts. That being said,
I'll leave it up to you to decide how much to transfer. The condoms by
themselves will cost 130 dollars. This would provide the campus with two cases,
2000 condoms. It would be great to get lube as well. The cheapest case (box of
1000) that I could find is 175 dollars. Please let me know what you decide and
how much money you are going to transfer over. The Sexpert account number is
669. (Get it?!) Anyway, that is actually the number, so just let me know what's
up as soon as possible. Thanks!
-Rachel

Hello Raff.

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. The tent between the living rooms is owned by the college, but we
have to pay the tent rental place to come and set it up, so the cost
will be similar to renting anyway, I suspect. In addition, I am
nervous about having events by the yurt (in the woods at night). This
would also incur an additional officer to work by the Yurt, which
would cost more money. My advice would be NOT to use the Yurt,
especially when there are already 3 other dance/music venues in use
that evening. Thoughts on this?

2. I have gotten VERY strong input from several people that yo
ushould not use Theatrix. If you can work with Limelight, I think you
might be better off.

3. We can talk more about protocol for ordering items after the event
is over, you make good points. We want to retain COCA's autonomy, but
I don't know if removing special programs from the ordering makes
sense. I suspect there is a middle ground we can find that will work
better for next year.

4. Re: searching bags. This is really at Public Safety's discretion.
I talked to Karen about it, and suggested that we might say that all
bags in the RCC will be searched, and other items may be searched at
entrance points at "Public Safety's discretion." This was only my
suggestion, I don't know what they will do with it. I recognize how
this makes people uncomfortable, but yet there is no way to let
people into the RCC without knowing what they are bringing in. PS
needs to have the ability to search items over the course of the
night as they deem necessary. Do you have any suggestions on how we
might make people feel more comfortable with this?

Josiah

Hi Josiah,
	There were a couple of things I was hoping you could answer.
Firstly, does
Hampshire College indeed own and operate the tent that has been emplaced
between the Dakin and Merrill House offices? I do not know the
details as to
storage, set-up, and use, but was wondering how that tent was being
utilized
for Halloween. If it is available, could we put it in front of the
Yurt and
have an additional dance area, albeit on a much larger scale? An idea
I?d had*
would be to have a play list of dance music compiled by COCA that
would be used
on Halloween, but the idea seemed infeasible and non-justifiable in
terms of the
expense incurred for the rental of tents and additional equipment for
the sole
purpose of a secondary play list. However, if we were to utilize the
Yurt for
that purpose, would it be possible to set up another dance tent near
the Yurt
by utilizing a tent that belongs to Hampshire College?
	Also, as of writing this, we have not yet finalized the equipment
rentals from
Theatrix. I called yesterday to consult with them, and they said that
I was the
third person to call from Hampshire College regarding Halloween. He
seemed to
indicate that at least one of the two previous calls was from Kelley,
and also
said that Bruce, the person in charge of these things, was out and would
perhaps be in tomorrow (Wednesday today). I was planning on calling
Theatrix to
fully ascertain what we need and what is needed of us as regards the
lighting
and sound for the RCC, Main Tent, and Library Gallery central areas,
and any
others. As before, this information should be complete and available
extremely
soon so that the orders can be processed. Andrew Hart from Media
Services has
been contacting us and advising against Theatrix, and offered several
alternative agencies instead. Thus, we will be exploring those options
throughout the day.
	The help given us by various other offices has been a Godsend, most
especially
Special Programs, the SDCL, and Student Affairs. In terms of co-
ordination,
this process has been helpful to all offices and groups that are
involved with
Halloween. However, one thing that may further streamline the
efficiency of the
process in the future would be for COCA to more autonomously handle
certain
aspects of the event. The rentals in particular seem to be a
component best
handled by COCA independently of other offices in order to maintain a
degree of
efficiency, which would thus free up the time and focus of other
offices and
groups when delegating tasks such as the handling of permits,
security, etc. We
were mostly hoping that there would be a way to minimize redundancy
of all
persons involved while coordinating with all offices as well.
	Another concern of ours had to do with the Amherst Police Department
and Public
Safety regarding the inspection of personal belongings. Is there any
way that we
could make this seem less ?intrusive? to attendees? There were a
great deal of
complaints about that from last year in terms of feeling welcome to
the event
and in the RCC. Is there a way of communicating this concern to the
APD in
particular, but also Public Safety at large in terms helping people
to feel
comfortable? Let us know any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks,

hey kids

i'm goign to a concert at 7pm tonight, so i'm not sure if i'll be able to make
tonight, and definitely not the whole thing! here are my items:

*budget for decorations: i told Beauty bombers they had at least $300. i think
$100-150 more would make a big difference. can we ask FiCom for more money?
heck, I'LL ask FiCom for more money. i think it's pretty important and will
make a big difference to the feel of the entire event. also, they're
volunteering to do their own cleanuup and to organise student volunteers.
here are the Beauty Bomber's ideas:
-balloons (helium, white, bunches above all the lampposts. won't interfere with
lights)
-glowsticks (small one inside balloons, big ones hanging from trees and tent
wires so people don't trip)
-streamers (orange, to hang from trees & wires, possibly from FPH and/or the
Bridge walkways)
-signage (chalking directions on the pathways (i.e. RCC this way >>>)
-gels over the lights in the Bridge (won't interfere with light to the library
lawn, just look cool)
-hula hoops, left around for anyone's use, with glowsticks added

*I told Josiah I would organise for Superheroes, community people to go to for
help, to get glow bracelets. I need funding for that - about $200 worth of glow
bracelets. I'll ask FiCom for the budget, I just need you'all's okay to go ahead
so I can tell Josiah!

*Also, Molly McLeod has been starting designs for the schedule-posters and
they're awesome.

We can get the extra money from FiCom, no problem.  We just need to put in for a
transfer of funds which is just a small amount of paperwork.

Sounds good. We were planning on setting that up within the next few days, as
well as having very large signs by the lawn area which would list the schedule.

Stephen, when would you be available to meet?

Hi Josiah,
   The Yurt is definitely a no-go. I sent out an e-mail to Rel around the same
time as the previous e-mail just to check, and he said that that facility would
be totally unavailable for such use anyway. Were that not the case, the reasons
you listed are all good ones for us not doing that regardless.
   Andrew strongly discouraged using Theatrix as well. I did find an invoice
from Limelight dated 10/31/05, so we'll utilize Limrelight.
   In terms of protocol discussions we (signers Jay, Shane, Raff) agreed that
this would be an important discussion that would need to happen, but do not
have the time for that now and the ordering process seems to be mostly
finished. So perhaps a November discussion?
   As regards the checks and searches, what are the definitions and limitations
pursuant to the general guidelines of Hampshire College and in NSNS?
   I'd been told that part of the discomfort people had with the RCC was the
personability of security working there, as well as, for lack of better terms,
an initial view as more akin to a guarded fortress than as an avenue for music
and dancing. In terms of the RCC, it has a lot to do with the overall
interaction between security and students. What bothers me the most personally
is the difference between the RCC and the back gate. Whereas attendees who had
somehow not heard about the RCC would still have the chance to do something
else, this option would not be there for those entering the gates. Of course, I
do not know the exact protocols for this or what would constitute Public
Safety's "discretionary" criteria (Someone with an obviously full bag? More at
random?).
   Also, is there a way for non-Hampshire people to access and view
http://intranet.hampshire.edu/halloween ? I began advertising that site and
almost immediately was hit with complaints about needing an account to access
it. Would there be a way around that, such as say a temporary account for
off-campus persons?

Hi all,
  I know that people have had concerns about Theatrix, and that some advised
against it. At this point, however, working with Theatrix seems the most
logical thing to do. Limelight only does lighting, and we have (to my
knowledge) never worked Zasco before. Theatrix knows us, has worked with us in
the past, and they already know what they are doing. It seems to me that it
would be easier and more efficient to go through Theatrix again, especially
given the timeframe. In terms of defraying the cost, we can ask FiCom for
additional funding and risk forgoing a cheaper agency. If it is a few hundred
more then it can be the cost of peace of mind for everyone in various offices.
I have not yet been able to personally speak with Bruce from Theatrix (he's
always out when I call), but I gave him a message to get back to me ASAP.

After speaking with Limelight (only does lighting, so we'd need to hire someone
else for sound), I realized that so far as I know there is no good enough
reason to not work with Theatrix again. Multiple people have questioned using
Theatrix, but they know us, they know what to do, and they can do all of it.

Hello sir,
   Kelley Barthelmes has been in contact with you, but I would like to confirm
that COCA would like your help with our event and I will be on campus for any
help that you may need. I do not know to what degree you may have personally
worked with Ally Schweitzer, but she has since graduated and I am now filling
that position on COCA.  Our current plans will be similar to those of previous
years, but there have been some changes which we would like help with.
   There is no longer a secondary tent, but the main 40x80 tent on the library
lawn will be the same as last year and will require the same sort of equipment
for the DJs. The bands will also be playing in the Robert Crown Center, and
that set-up will also mostly be the same as last year. We also need 3 video
projectors for that space, and possibly help in having a way to filter the
bright emergency light so that it casts a red glow (while keeping in line with
fire/safety regulations).
   A space we are utilizing this year which had not been used last year is a
small gallery inside of the library. The space will be used as a quieter, more
mellow space for music, performances, and storytelling. We may not need so much
equipment, but at the very least will need a nice PA for vocals.
   Please contact me as soon as possible. I should be around to check my phone
for most of this weekend if you are able to call then, and will be checking
e-mail frequently. Let me know of any concerns of yours or additional
information so that we could hopefully have the details worked out before this
coming Friday. Thanks.

Hey Josiah,
   We've actually had a facebook site up and running for a few weeks now. I just
wasn't sure whether we could defer people to a more official Halloween site than
the facebook event. But it's not really any kind of problem, we can just post
all information for guests elsewhere.
   With Pub Safety, I could talk to them about it directly, perhaps along with
others from COCA. We wanted to ask you first because most Pubs' hands are tied
and it's not always easy to get an answer with certain things. Delroy is
probably the person we'd have to have much this discussion with, but he'd been
out. I also wanted to get an idea of how Public Safety operates from someone
who would and could answer questions from a perspective outside of that
structure.

Kelly did call a few days ago and basically said she was all set!! (with
your media services handling all the details)

So we have no plans at this time to be involved. I did also speak with
your media services supervisor
He also stated that he was dealing with it.

Hello Neil,
   I've been in contact with Daniel Mudd about you playing for Halloween. We're
really excited about you playing and are definitely down with that kind of
music. We'll have turntables, but cannot guarantee that it will be exactly the 
Techniq 1200. The DJ tent goes on October 26th (this Friday) from 8:30pm to
1:30am. The number of people on campus may be anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000
persons. What else do you need? What was the payment range you were expecting?
We can help you get set up with whatever you need. Thanks so much!

Hello all,
   I have been in contact with Bruce from Theatrix, and told him that we would
like to utilize their services once again this year. Though there was some
confussion, I confirmed that we would like their services and that both I and
Jay Cassano will be the point people for bands/DJs. Jay will be making sure
that we know what the bands need and that they are happy, and I will be in
contact with Bruce and Physical Plant in co-ordinating the physical set up. I
do not know the total difference between Theatrix and other agencies, but we/I
can speak with FiCom about defraying costs (though I would estimate this to be
far lower than last year due to the absence of the second tent). Since we've
used Theatrix in times past, this will probably be the most convenient option
within such a time frame. I'll let everyone know how things are going along as
soon as it's known on my end, and will be in touch with Jay and Bruce in terms
of what the musicians require of us.

Hi Chris,
   I thought that the Art House Sluts weren't interested in doing anything for
Halloween, and I'm also pretty sure ELH is already taken (but may be wrong
about that). I'm CCing this to their signers, who should be in touch with COCA
so we know whether to work it in to the schedules that are going to be made up
and sent out.
      With Excalibur I guess we could call it the post-Halloween movie or some
such thing. Do you seriously need an ERF for just a movie?

Hello Mo,

    Sorry for taking so long to get back to you; we've been extremely busy this
week (and still are)...In response to your question I'm afraid to say that
we're not exactly sure...if your supervisor (whomever is in charge of the Yurt)
is okay with it, along with Josiah Litant (who I'm forwarding this response to),
then we're fine with it...given, if you do put on your show, we'd obviously
request that you not have music blasting into the library lawn/performance
area, etc....but if you're just streaming like usual, by all means, have at it,
providing, once again, that you get the go ahead from your supervisor and
Josiah...

    Take Care,
    Be Well,

Hi Karen,
	Hopefully you?ll get this and be able to respond soon. We are finalizing
placement of tents, rides, events, etc. and were wondering which spaces we
could use. We ordered the ?Rock and Roll Bouncy Boxing? inflatable, and thought
that it would work really well if we could have it in front of the flag pole,
but do not know what will be happening with traffic in the bus circle. Is
traffic being directed through there? The inflatable is self-sustained on a
generator and measures 21x25 feet, which would only take up a small area on the
grass facing the library/Cole. I do not know how deep any securing stakes would
be driven, but was told to check with Phys Plant about any possible gas or
electric lines running under the ground.
	Today, Steve Dags mentioned ?backstage passes? for the RCC so that performers
and personnel could more easily gain access and not have to deal with a crowd
at the main entranceway. Would we be able to let persons critical to the
performance enter through the rear door of the RCC? If not, can they be allowed
through any alternate points (the locker rooms?)?
	I?ve also been looking into the issue of the RCC?s emergency light, and asked
Bruce from Theatrix if it would be possible to put some sort of red curtain in
front of it. Would this be feasible? A few weeks ago Delroy told me that he
thought such an idea might work, and according to him it would work best to
have red light because that light would travel farthest.
	One of the most important things we need to know is whether reserved parking
will be available to performers. There are some band members and DJs who will
not be able to reach campus until much later in the night. For instance, Neil
Fleishman (12:00-1:30am DJ) said he might not be able to get here until
10:00pm. I do not know the point at which we would reach capacity, but it would
be a disaster if a performer wasn?t allowed in for that reason. Can we reserve
parking for persons on the vendor/performer guestlist?
	Also, what are the protocols for searches at the gates and entrance to the RCC?
Are any of our security personnel going to ask to search personal property
beyond entrance points? Where will all security be positioned aside from the
gates and RCC? Since there are APD, Hampshire Pubs, and security contracted
from outside of Hampshire, are they all on operating on different guidelines? I
remember someone saying that the Amherst PD are pretty self contained in terms
of guidelines and protocols, but don?t know how it works if we are employing
police. I also do not know whether other outside hires will be
functionally/legally identical to actual Public Safety officers, but am
assuming that they can do things such as restrain an overtly hostile intruder.
	I?m concerned about searches and the way in which they will be conducted
because we have gotten a huge number of complaints about it, and not simply
because these persons were trying to smuggle contraband into the RCC. One of
the chief reasons cited was personal space and a general discomfort with what
they perceived as an infringement of person and property. This is one reason
why I am concerned about a person otherwise unaffiliated with the school
conducting searches (i.e. those who do not work throughout the year as a Pub
Safety officer and the students would consider a stranger). This of course is
part of a much broader issue, but I was wondering if there was a way of having
a better rapport between students at the event and Public Safety so that all
parties would feel more at ease, and generally be friendlier and more
respectful towards each other. Do you know if there is a way that security
personnel could more easily carry that presence? Let us know, thanks.

Hello Tammy/Mary,

    My apologies for taking so long to get back to you; we've been extremely
busy the past week or so, as I'm sure you can understand.  Both of your offices
(Alumni House & Lemelson) will be recognized as departments that will provide
trick or treating "amenities" to the faculty/staff children (I'm Cc-ing this
e-mail to the necessary folks to ensure it)...
    And, as far as any guidelines go for the treats, I don't exactly know that
information at this time (I have to get a hold of the folks organizing this
part of Hampshire Halloween and consult them on what's been decided so far),
but I'm pretty positive that it's perfectly fine for you folks to use standard
Halloween candy or even healthy snacks (like granola bars or apples)...or even
a nice assortment of both, if you wish.
    If indeed there are any guidelines, I'll know tomorrow for sure; the list of
departments who will be participating in the Trick or Treating will be
eventually sent out to everyone and posted online sometime tomorrow, and if any
guidelines do exist, they'll be included in that e-mail.
    If anything changes, you folks will be informed of it...and if you have any
other questions, I'll do my best to answer them ASAP.  Sorry again for
responding back so late---so many details to hash out yet...
    But thank you very much for wanting to be a part of the
festivities/events...it's much appreciated.

    Take Care,
    Be Well,

Message-ID: <1193200040.471ec9a84b57f@webmail.hampshire.edu>

hello, hello!

everything's rolling.
>the beauty bombers are well on their way, decoration-wise.
>over 65 people have signed up for Superhero bracelets.
>the bellydancing and circus performances are doing well, except that we still
don't have a confirmed space for the circus fireshow. they wanted it on the
main flag circle, but pubsafety said that they didn't want people to be tempted
to go into the road (though it'll already be closed off!)

the main difficulty so far is that the student body knows nothing about what's
happening this hampshire halloween! we don't have schedules up yet (except for
the one on the website, which is misleading and many things are still labelled
'tentative'). i'm submitting an intranet announcement for the 'dusk' period, as
that's what i'm in charge of and can speak to, and something that won't be
successful at all unless people know about it. here's what i'm putting up:

***

Hampshire Halloween Kick-off!!
DUSK:6-8pm, performances & interactive events. Read on for details.

6pm: The Gathering
Meet up in front of your House Office in costume! When the Alternative Marching
Band begins to play from the center of campus, all groups will parade to the
center, carrying jack o'lanterns representing each of the Houses. Once
gathered, there will be a costume parade, costume prizes & pictures, and other
exciting things. Bouncy rides are open.

6.30pm: Figure 8 Bellydance Collective performance

7.15pm: Circus Folk Unite! Fireshow

8pm: FIREWORKS signal the beginning of the music portion of Hampshire Halloween!

***

Hopefully that'll clear things up (I've been talking to multiple people with
simple questions: are there fireworks this year? is circus performing? when
does the music start? i heard about a parade? etc,etc.)

And do y'all have more questions or suggestions for me?

Good work, people!
Tara

Hello Molly,

    Here's the finalized schedule for the performers for you to add to that
awesome flier template that you came up with...

9:30 - 10:00   Didi Loves Go-Go

12:00 - 12:30  Big Bula
12:30 - 1:00   Team Robespierre

In the Library Gallery:

8:30 - 9:00    The Dora Magrath Band
9:00 - 9:30    The Maesa Rae Band
9:30 - 10:00   Gin & Tonics
10:00 - 10:30  Sean Conlon
10:30 - 1:00   Storytellers

9:30 - 10:30   Henri C
10:30 - 12:00  Mikio Kennedy
12:00 - 1:30   Neil Fleischman

I'm going to send this schedule out to the COCA list, as well as yourself,
Molly, so that if I've misspelled anything, Jay or Raff will let you know so
that the proper spelling can be put on the final copy of the schedule...

Once you've gotten confirmation e-mails from those two (which will take place
within the next few hours, plenty of time before I'm sure you'll read this...)
then by all means, you're free to do what you will.

If you have ANY questions at all, please feel free to ask us...and thank you,
thank you, thank you so much for helping us all out!

Take Care,
Be Well,

Hey Josiah,
   Given that the flow of traffic for Halloween will be altered so as to
accomodate the traffic to an event at the Eric Carle Museum, does this entire
area remain within our jurisdiction? I do not know whether the Eric Carle event
will create its own sanitation problems or whether that event's private space
would negate the impact of ours. What do you think?

Subject: [Coca] Water stations for Hampshire Halloween...?
Message-ID: <1193211958.471ef836ba701@webmail.hampshire.edu>


Hello Doug,

    We (COCA) were wondering if you Dining Commons folks would be able to
help us provide water for the guests this year during Hampshire Halloween; we
were under the impression that last year a few water stations were set-up by
you guys to make sure that no one got dehydrated or anything, but unfortunately
we're not positive due to a massive lack of records.
    We wanted to know if perhaps you folks could allocate us four of those large
 containers that you guys usually use for liquids so that they could be filled
with water and then placed at certain areas in and around the center of campus
(one in the library gallery, one by the bouncy rides/Main tent, one in the RCC,
and of course, one in FPH)?
    If you think this is doable this year, let us know and we'll make sure it
happens...

    Thanks, Doug!

    Take Care,
    Be Well,

Subject: [Coca] A question about Ficom signers...i.e. We need signatures
	ASAP!
Message-ID: <1193212484.471efa4490a30@webmail.hampshire.edu>

Hello Alex,

    We (COCA) need two POs signed ASAP for Creedon and KEC Rentals; me and Raff
have already filled them out and signed them, and now we need two Ficom signers
(one of which apparently has to be your Chair?) to sign off on them as well
before we take them to Andrea Goldshalk for her approval...and then finally to
the business office for processing...

    If we don't get these processed by tomorrow afternoon, we're going to have
serious complications in regards to set-up...; So, if you could point us (Me
and Raff) in the direction of those who qualify (Ficom Chair and another
signer), then we can go on ahead and take care of these some time tomorrow
(sooner, rather than later).  Actually, aren't you a signer?  If so, then
that's half the battle right there.

    Let me know what you can and get back to us as soon as you're able so I can
track these folks down and get their signatures before all hell breaks loose.

    Thank so much for all your work and effort, by the way...You are very much
appreciated.....!

    Take Care,
    Be Well,

Hi all, some speedy things:

Shane:
   Already spoke with you today, but I'll see if we can get the pizzas while
you're gone.

Jay:
You just answered my questions, awesome. I've already spoken with people from
Mystafine and Moanin Dove, who said they'd get it to me today, but if you have
them it doesn't matter. Let me know with Robspierre. At this point I'm kinda
happy about not having hay rides, because it would've been a nightmare
coordinating traffic/that with Pubs.

Alex:
   Are you on campus and around today/tomorrow? We need to know the list of
offices that are hosting Trick-or-Treating ASAP. Also, if I can hear back
within the next few hours I'll try to get Will on from 9:30-10:30, if he's
still up for it.

If either of you are around today and able to do so, could you send whatever
information you have to me and Shane?

   Sorry about any delays or undue stress that may've come from me being too
obsessed. I thought the gladiator thing ran independently on generators (i.e.
no electric cables running the road) but was told that apparently the lights
from Theatrix won't be sharing the generators (thought Bruce said they did,
must've misheard).
   I'll be meeting with Karen Couture at Public Safety 2:15pm-sometime before
3:00pm to work other things out and get more information. I think she's
irritated with me for delays (especially the map), and for some reason told me
to ask Kelley after I asked her whether it would be okay (who said to ask). Too
much hassle, so the maps are done and ready for Tara/Molly/Jay. Other things
include parking reservations for performers, dealing with RCC emergency light,
the boah constrictor, searches of bags, and other security concerns. Just
giving the heads up.
   There's a ton of other stuff I'm on, so if anyone can help with other stuff
(Phys Plant especially, we need to check out extension cords, work order for
BobCat on Friday, cleaning, setting up risers {Jimmy x5539}, making sure
everything's set with electrical {Chad x5432}, etc.) that'd be great. Other
urgent thing include filling out TOF forms for several different Halloween and
non-Halloween things, putting up big signs with maps/schedule/info, and just a
lot of contacting people and confirming things. Will let everyone know if
anything comes up, thanks.

Hello Mikio,

    We're really excited to have you coming up here to perform at this year's
Hampshire Halloween (by the way, your e-mail said "Saturday"...we just want to
clarify to let you know that the event is Friday, the 26th).

    We don't have access to a scanner right now, but we'll be able to e-mail you
a copy of the contract tomorrow for sure, so that bit of business will be taken
care of before the Event (and will also expedite the payment process).

    It's cool that you're bringing Serpentessa---it will really add to the
ambiance of the event...But, unfortunately, the college administrators are
dead-set against having the boa on campus (despite our wishes)...which everyone
on our end thinks is a real shame...I'm truly sorry about that...It won't
inconvenience you folks too much will it?

    We'll let our sound people know about your equipment needs and try to get
you folks communicating as soon as possible...Oh, and we wanted to know if
there would be anyone else with you coming onto campus besides Serpentessa...if
so, we need their names so that we can put them on the Performer Guest List
along with you two, to make sure that all of you can get here quickly and
without any hassle (make sure that everyone who's coming has a photo ID to
expedite this process as well).

    We'll be in contact with you tomorrow, Mikio, but if you have any questions
or concerns right now, as of the time that you get this, by all means, throw an
e-mail our way and we'll get back to you ASAP...And once again, we're sorry
about not being able to have the snake in the show...(it's kind of
disheartening to those of us at COCA who are planning this event that such an
awesome and interesting part of the performances is being denied us...but we do
what we can/must.)

    Thanks again!

    Take Care,
    Be Well,

Anne, thanks so much.
   I had a few questions/concerns though. There is a slight chance of rain for
the night. While working Spring Jam I was told that rain from the previous
Halloween caused a lot of problems with transportation and storage of
equipment. While I certainly would rather not have things close down
prematurely, I also do not want your equipment to be damaged. In the absolute
worst case scenerio, what are the protocols for early shut down in the event of
a deluge? If there is brief and light precipitation, how does that affect the
event? Hopefully we'll have beautiful weather for the night and avoid any of
this, but it would be good to have an idea of how to deal with that.
   Also, would you be able to adjust some contact info? The form lists it
thusly:

Phone 1:(518)928-7129 RAFF
Phone 2: (202)422-2421 ALLIE
Phone 3:

Phone 3: JAY (802) 734-8123
Setup Date: 10/26/2007
Event Phone: RAFF (518) 928-7129

   As you know, the people on this committee rotate at an unfortunately rapid
speed. Both Shane and I are in our final year of school, and may not be able to
be as involved this coming Spring, our last semester. Contingent upon his
personal choice, Jay Cassano will be filling this role in the future.
   But most importantly, have you gotten the PO? I'm personally going around
campus checking all of these things tomorrow and making sure that all faxes and
securities have been established. Let me know, thanks.

Hey Jay et al,
   This is the sum of the recent changes and information I'd been working on.
You're absolutely right, it's a pointless delay to not just get the bloody
thing out in the open. Not sure when you were planning on having them in (I
could probably help with stuffing mailboxes, though volunteers from anyone in
COCA or generally elsewhere would be wonderful), but it would probably be
better to have the pamphlets themselves stuffed in mailboxes along with the
wristbands, perhaps stapled together or attached somehow. I do not completely
know the plan in terms of whether you're also doing posters; if so, I could
help with that as well, which would probably be the best thing for
non-Hampshire students (I think we discussed this). Basically I'm just missing
on those details. Again, sorry about not having things in earlier, but it ended
up working out because of Zebu, changed DJ, addition of Tarot readings, etc.

Hey Tara,
   So there's a few things that need to be confirmed. This morning Josiah said
that neither nor anyone in Public Safety had received anything from Amherst
Fire Department. They seemed really tense about that for some reason, though I
vaguely remember the previous year's fireshow as being somewhat informal in
terms of regulation. At any rate, Josiah and the Pubs wanted something faxed to
them to confirm that everything was approved.
   Also, I saw Andrew Hart from Media Services today, and he said something
about being contacted by a "sound tech guy" for the fireshow. He was confused
about this, and I had no clue to what he was refering. Were the fireshow folks
just going to use a CD player, or something else?
   Finally, the Beauty Bombers in the library gallery. I know that they're a
fairly spotless bunch in terms of their plans for decorations, but just wanted
to make sure that there would not be much to maintain. It's a more sensitive
space that has been difficult to occupy in the past, and we would probably like
to use it again in the future. Carolyn Arnold, the director of the space,
expressed concerns about cleanliness of the space, and also "philosophical
objections" to use. But that is another story. Any input in terms of what the
Beauty Bombers are planning? Thanks for taking such a bulk of work, I think
we're doing pretty well right now.

   Also, please be sure to note the searches of person and property by Public
Safety. I never got any solid answers on their protocols, but just to let
people know what's going on ahead of time and perhaps will feel less infringed
upon. While I do like people such as Karen and deeply emphasize with what
they're dealing with (it was nuts in the office today), but over the years I
have watched this attitude become increasingly disrespectful, invasive, and
highly dubious in terms of adherence to NSNS as well as possibly state and
federal law. A brief conversation today illustrated that Public Safety does not
necessarily know or understand all the institutional protocols of Hampshire.
   I do agree with Public Safety in terms of avoiding litigation from generally
careless and drunk individuals; preventing armed lunatics from entrance; and
ensuring that any persons responsible for the destruction of our school's
property and violence against our community will be appropriately dealt with,
if not prevented. However, it needs to be stated right now that the actions of
those employed to protect the community have been negligent or pugnacious in
multiple incidents. Normally I would deem this an inappropriate forum, but I am
as concerned about the behavior of our safe keepers as random guests for this
event. A student should not be allowed to carry a sword or waltz into the RCC
with a bottle of liqour to smash, but I do not want people to be uncomfortable
around our employees either. This is part of an ongoing debate over the
character of Public Safety that has become radically altered since I arrived in
Fall 2004. At the very least, I want it to be emphasized as much as possible
that students are responsible for the behaviour and wellbeing of their guests;
that they are likewise responsible for attendees who are strangers to them; to
foster an amicable rapport with security employees as much as possible; and
that security employees will conduct random inspections of property and person.

I think you guys should be only worried about clean up at the two

will). The Eric Carle itself will not be our issue (or directly in

Hey again,
   Hope this bombardment of e-mails doesn't make anything confusing.

"Re: preliminary trick or treat office list..."
   In brief, the offices across campus that have signed up for
Trick-or-Treating. Thanks Shane. What is crucial now is communicating with each
of these various offices and making sure that they have signs or some sort of
identification as a spot for delicious candy treats. I have far too much to do
to deal with this, and have not been as involved as others in side
conversations about this as a plan. If anyone wants something to do, going to
each office would be great. Do we have signs? I'm somewhat confused about who
has been doing what with the house offices. I'd had it written down that Jay,
Tara, and Alex were acting as liasons, but don't know all of the who-and-what
with it and how much others in COCA have been discussing that with each other.
It seems that this part is mostly done, but just wanted to confirm.

   Another EXTREMELY CRITICAL THING is the food for the bands. Shane, I'd
already spoken with you about this and said that I could do it if you were
unable to do so. Detailed records of transactions for food are largely absent
from files on hand, but it was indeed Delivery Express that we had previously
gone through. Their website is https://www.deliveryexpress.com/home.htm There's
a metric fuckton of menus for various restaurants, so it would be best not to
order anything other than pizzas out of pragmatism. There are costs associated
with Big Y as well, but the easiest thing would be to order however many pizzas
for our performers.

   The other thing that NEEDS to be done no later than tomorrow afternoon is
filling out contracts for all persons we've hired, and an example can be found
in the orange COCA folder with "#611" written on the front. The form is titled
"Contract for Services." For whatever absurd reason, we at least need one of
those filled out for each individual band member and DJ. Filling out TOF forms,
POs, contracts, etc. are a lot easier than they look at first. We just need
these things filled out enough that two of the three signers can sign off on
them and hand them in before campus offices close.

   Again, I can start working on this stuff if necessary, but I absolutely need
to abnegate some of these responsibilities for tomorrow. I will be meeting with
Bruce from Theatrix tomorrow, along with Bob G. (RCC), someone from Phys Plant
(hopefully), and possibly someone from Public Safety. This is mostly to make
sure everything checks out for what we're doing with the RCC, library gallery,
and front lawn. I also have to speak with Stephen Pereira and people in the
SDCL to make absolutely sure that the Purchase Orders went through so that we
can give the different agencies their PO numbers. Not a huge deal, but I will
not be around much tomorrow and need as many other people to work on this stuff
as possible.

[I'm tempted to call Mikio's significant other "Serpentessa" about the Boa
Constrictor (This is directed more towards Shane). This person was a belly
dancer but also involved with Mikio, and wanted to bring a beast of a serpent
for the performance. So long as said serpent is comfortable, I am happy about
this image. Karen Couture from Public Safety basically told me "no, I don't
like that idea," but also told me to ask Stephen Pereira about it, and said
that pets cannot be anywhere on campus. This is not true according to NSNS
(sort of Hampshire's bureaucratic bible, if you don't know). So, if one were to
call Serpentessa and find out whether she has whatever licenses or
certifications are necessary, and that the animal would be safe in this
environment and of no harm to anybody, we are perfectly in accordance with the
guidelines as defined by NSNS. Not that I have the time anyway, but I will not
call unless the membership of COCA sees little problematic about the snake and
keeping it safe. Potentially problematic for a number of reasons, but
potentially great.]
   Only another day until everything unfolds and the campus can enjoy the
tradition. Be well,

Hey Jessica,
   Thank you so much for contributing that to the event. I think it is a great
idea for the general atmosphere and mindset with consent/safe sex particularly
for this event. Indulging in whatever chemicals, sexuality, consent, and
general safety are always issues that we try to address when dealing with this
event, and this helps us a lot. I don't know if it is necessary for the
Sexperts to also carry lube, and might be worried about whether attendees would
misuse it and make a mess. However, it would be cool to have lube at the "Health
and Safety Stations" we are positioning around campus, which will have fresh
water in addition to info and materials you mentioned.
   COCA will fully reimburse all of these expenses. Rachel had given me the
account number 669 with a cost of $130 for 2,000 condoms, which has been
approved but the TOF form has yet to be processed. We can cover additional
expenses for supplies when completing the form, but preferably not over $200.
Thanks again,

Awesome, thanks Alex. The problem though is that Josiah may have already sent
out this information in a critical announcement based on a listing of offices
Shane had collected. If you forward that e-mail to jlitant at hampshire.edu you
might be able to catch him before he does that. And yes, Will has indeed been
confirmed. I spoke with him today and yesterday, and should be all on
schedules/pamphlets/posters from 9:30-10:30pm. Thanks again,

Hi Anne,
   I called this afternoon and spoke with someone about that, who said that I
should fax a copy of the form, which was subsequently sent to 775-227-8940. The
PO number is 802433. If you can confirm with me ASAP at your convenience that
would be great, and it is fine to call me at any point. I may not go to bed
until past midnight, but this is important so for confirmation or any concerns
it is okay to call me at absolutely any point in the next 24 hours.
   I know that you have been touch with Kelley as well, and to follow up, we all
agreed that placing equipment inside is not possible. Our only somewhat suitable
spaces are unavailable at this time, and additional tents are beyond our budget.
The plan Kelley told you is what seems best, but also call me to let me know
about the plan as it is influenced by ongoing developments in the weather, or
any other concerns of yours. Thanks.

    Hello Josiah,

    We have one final name to put on the Vendor/Performance List: Delivery
Express  will be bringing food for the Bands/DJs at 8:30PM (so that the food
will be fresh for the performers as soon as they start).  The PO for this is
being processed right now/tomorrow morning (all signatures have been acquired;
all we have to do is bring the form to Stephen and/or Mickey at Blair Hall).

    It's imperative that whoever the driver is from Delivery Express is allowed
through/put on the "other" Guest List...otherwise the performers won't be able
to get food from us (we have no other contingency plan...eek...); plus it's in
the contracts that we supply the bands with food.

    We are hoping that this isn't a problem...we can talk about it further
tomorrow morning when we meet at 9:30, I'm sure.

    See you tomorrow morning; thank you for everything!

    Take Care,
    Be Well,

Yes, I can confirm that everything ought to be working through. KEC will be
setting up, and Anne said that they're anticipating tolerable to good weather
until at least 9:00pm. All positioning of equipment shall remain according to
plain. Due to ongoing changes and last minute requests/issues, there have been
some mixups in terms of scheduling of events, but everything seems to be going
really well. We will all be in contact with each other for updates and I'm sure
any problems that could potentially arise will be easily handled. If not through
radio channels, I can be the primary COCA contact and should hopefully
throughout the day via cell phone. Happy Halloween, be well.
