The Hideout Marquee - need help

by Asaf »

The Hideout Marquee needs to be changed as it has out-of-date information and it is making me mental.

I will be at the Hideout on Wednesday teaching the Drop-in and would love the help of two people before that so I can go up the ladder.

Who can do this with me at around 6pm?

If I get off work on time then I'll be at The Hideout around 6:30ish.

I believe this picture was taken about two years after Asaf's post. It reflects the state of the marquee as it stands today.

My question is: Did Asaf and Ceej ever change it back in 2007? Or was it like this before that?

I ask because it's starting to make me mental, and I'm wondering what sort of curse has been keeping it from being changed for all these years.

The kind of curse that involves the letters disappearing and me not having time to get up on a ladder to pull a letter down to measure, so I can order new ones.

The best way to make sure something like this is on our radar is to send an email.

But as Kareem said, this in particular is already in the works.

i've always been much more concerned about the Hideout Marquis, the eccentric French nobleman who jumps out of random locations in the building, shouts "HUZZAH!" and stabs you in the arm before running away singing.

that guy's a dick.

Great, now that I know about the marquee, it'll make me mental too.

I volunteer to help do something. I don't know what.

So...

How about the electronic scrolling marquee inside that is also chock full of inaccurate information... :-)

I showed up that night to help. I don't remember who else was there besides Asaf. I want to say it was Vines, but maybe it was Ceej, or maybe somebody else. But whoever it was actually did change the marquee text after I helped retrieve the ladder.
