Hey Guys,

1) WAVIERS - if you haven't signed the online wavier yet, you may not be allowed into the party. The Wavier form is found online at: http://www.genderblender.org/waiverform.html and is only like 4 lines long. Please sign it! Except Brad, who won't be here for the nightly festivities :).
People missing waviers: Mike, Rob, Keith, Meredith, Lisa
2) SCHEDULE AND SEEDING - we're seeded at a lofty fifth, and play our 4 Saturday games (starting at 9:15 am) at the main fields (no driving needed). YAY! Schedule is attached. I think we can definitely win our pool. The second seed in our pool is Zen Asylum, who are a pretty young/new team. Let's take it to 'em!
3) FOOD DRIVE - when you pick up snacks for yourself this weekend, please grab one item for the food drive. You can 'win' at GB with donated food, but let's at least make sure we do our part. I've attached a list of requested items.
4) TENT - Please make sure you are bringing everything associated with your name on the blog (beat2008.blogspot.com). Please bring anything else you think would help spruce up our tent. It's gonna be hella cool.
5) SPIRIT PRIZES - If you see candy or small toys, please grab 'em up for spirit prizes.
6) DANCE and Costumes- try to dress up as MJ or a small boy for friday night. Bring your crappiest human clothes (i.e. best zombie clothes) for Saturday night! Practice dance moves!
7) PERSONAL STUFF - Suggested things to bring for yourself:
- Ear plugs
- Garbage bags
- Flash light
- Lots of drinks
- Small fan?
- Sunscreen, hat
- Rain coat/windbreaker
- Towel
- Cleats
8) SHIRTS - Printed and Ready!
9) HEAT WAVE- It's supposed to be frickin' hot this weekend, so make sure you stay hydrated.
See y'all in Fergus!!!

A couple must-have items
Hey guys,
Still looking for ideas/support on getting:
Prosthetic Face Pieces (Idea- can anyone pickup like 4 rolls or aluminum foil and masking tape?)
Sheets for Blind Petting Zoo - need a few bedsheets- shouldn't have to cut them...
Board Games/Operation Board Game/Trivia Questions (Shiovean is trying to get operation; Jay can you print out the trivia questions?)
These are three big things we need for the tent. Please give it some thought.

Thrill the World on YouTube
This is the vid that Norm was talking about
If you read other parts of the TtW site it breaks down the dance into sets of moves (eg Zombie Stomp, Zombie Swim)
I'll post the order of the moves as she does them in the vid tomorrow.

The Dancing Deal
Okay, so the dance practice was (predictably) not that well attended. I think what we're going to do is the following:
I'll post some links below to a really great set of training videos. You can practice through the week (and the start of the weekend) to get these moves down well enough. If on Saturday you're not ready for the spotlight, we'll have a 'chorus' of zombies who hang around the periphery and don't really have to hit a lot of moves.
Thriller is a hard dance, a scary dance; that being said, some of us are going to ROCK IT. Here's the link:
Thriller Dance (go to video V: full dance)
A direct link
We're only going to 2:52 of part V: the full dance from the link above. But we're gonna do it well. We practiced it with the video for about an hour today, but it's gonna take about half an hour a day to do it well.
The moves themselves I think are broken down in subsequent videos, but we're mostly practicing off of that one.
