MEETING MOVED
Since this weather is preventing some of us from getting to campus today, and since Nathan can't make it, we are moving our meeting to Monday night at 830 in the art building. We all HAVE to be there since we will be going over our plans for the Brian Kennedy interview for this upcoming Tuesday!If you have any questions, post them to the blog!

Some footage of Toledo
Yeah so our camera died. Took some shots with my phone of random places. 280 bridge and other spots. We should definitely go back either Tuesday or a time where we can get both day and night. J and I found a good spot to shoot the bridge and some of the "skyline" hope you guys got some good info from the library?

Lot's of UPDATES!
Hello Team,
We have a lot of updates to talk about since our last team meeting on Friday. In class Tuesday we made good progress. We got one of the 2 video's copied over to our file, information from the Toledo Library on some archival photos we would like to use and we also got some interviewing questions/bios done.
FOR THURSDAY
Two people will be going up to Toledo to shoot the 280 bridge. Chris has said that he wouldn't mind driving so either Nathan or Jarrhette, who wants to go with him?
I reserved a camera and tripod for this already in the ARC. I am also going to post the information on where Jutta has told us a good location to shoot the bridge would be.
Whoever doesn't go is going to be working with me on searching through all of the photos Chris has gotten from the Library (online) and figuring out which ones we would like to use so they can pull them for us later on.
NEXT TUESDAY
For next Tuesday I have gotten in contact with Brian Kennedy from the TMA and we are going to be going up there to interview him. We will need to leave as soon as class starts if not sooner to make our appointment of 11am. Lets figure out who can go earlier, since we may need to set up the light kit (if we need to drive 2 cars to get it done then that's what we will have to do i guess).
After our interview, Jutta would like to meet with us and show us around the glass pavilion and the pieces that she would like us to film/photograph. I am not sure how long this entire process will take. I am hoping that we can get both things done and be back by 12:50. Like I said before though, if we need to drive 2 cars to work in all of our schedules we will do that.
I have also been pretty good about keeping the calendar up to date, so if you have any questions about what we will be doing just refer to that! Okay guys I know this is a lot, but it's good and we are making the progress that we wanted to make before break! See you tomorrow,

Library Results!
Chris:
Here is a link to our glass collections. I would suggest that you focus on O-I & LOF. Once I find the preliminary inventory to the photos in O-C I will send that as well. There are a lot to look at so you might want to take an extra day. O-I alone takes up an entire room (not all photos, but the collection). It would help me to be better able to help you if I knew what boxes that you would like to see ahead of time. That way I can have them ready for you.
Once you have identified what you might want to use, I will call my contact people and request permission. Usually it doesn’t take very long (like maybe a day or two, tops) and as I mentioned, they have never told me no. I personally just require it as a courtesy to them.
Also, I would strongly suggest arriving here on campus as early AM as possible to avoid as many parking issues as you can.
