Cranerific












Even though each member in our group has been disseminating cranes for over a week, we decided that we needed a big crane push right before the deadline. We created a group on facebook called Crane on the Brain, and also created an event to accompany the group. The event,"The Epic Paper Crane Hunt of 2007" was scheduled for Tuesday, November 27 @9:00am. People were encouraged to find cranes all around campus. For our part, we continuously distributed the cranes for several hours to keep up.

When we arrived at the SLC, we found the remains of the Gory Survey demonstration already subverted by the sin-dex group. Even though we had not received permission from the professor to sabotage any other group's work (as if you need permission to subvert an ad...isn't that kind of the point?), we had already been replacing posters from other groups and adding our own special additions to the work we found scattered around. The large display was very visible, and it looked really cool with all the cranes on it! Photos coming soon!

The Cranes are Coming!



Thursday, November 22 was the official start of Crane Dropping. We decided to start out slowly and just place cranes and posters here and there. We will be making a big crane drop and having a big crane event around the same time to make sure it is fresh in everyone's mind. Wherever we dropped cranes, we took a picture to document the different places. Keep checking here often, more pictures to come!
