Banner Pricing

Here

Or, at the Fedex/Kinkos in HP, Color is 12.99/sq.ft and B&W is 8.99/sq.ft.

Office Depot is not cool enough to do prices per square foot, so here's the list:

2x4 : 59.99

2x6 : 89.99

2x8 : 119.99

2x10 : 139.99

3x4 : 89.99

3x6 : 129.99

3x8 : 165.99

At Bronzeville Signs & Printing, Vinyl Color and B&W is 7.00/sq.ft., and if we need a heavier vinyl it's 9.00/sq.ft.

I checked mostly for Hyde Park or internet printing services, and these are the cheapest I found. We'll probably need to place our order fairly soon. Does anyone know how big the MAC signs are? If possible with the design group and advertising group, I'd like to place our order by the end of the week.

Chalk Machine

Here are some options for the chalk machine. Also, I contacted places where I thought we might be able to borrow or rent one, such as UC Facilities. I have yet to hear back from them. Each line is the link to a product online, as well as a summary below it of price, the width of the chalk line, and the carrying capacity.

Things That Are More Or Less Up In The Air

Some of these might be actually dead by now, but just to have a space to talk about these proposals and perhaps revive them, here is a list:

• Outdoor Furniture
  
• Storefront
• Block Party
• Band
• T-shirts

Again, if anyone remembers any more... you know what to do.

Things That Have Been Pretty Much Decided Upon

This is the list of things that we said we are for sure going to do:

• Publication
  
• Chalk Outline of Blueprints
  
• Website (Done)
  
• RSO (Almost Done)
  
• Listhost (Done)
  
• Subversive Advertisement
  
• Some Sort of Outreach Effort

Does anyone remember any more of them? I have the list written down at home, but I wanted to get some stuff up on this site today and I won't be able to get to my place until later tonight. If there's anything else that people remember, just leave it in comments or edit it into the post.

First Post: Information on C.O.U.C.H Site

So, everyone. Here it is, our site. Not the biggest place, but the rent's cheap.

Anyway, this blog will, over the course of the term (and beyond?) become our forum for coordinating logistics, ideas, philosophies and whatever else regarding the C.O.U.C.H. project. Once I have a full email list, I will add everyone as authors. Also, I'm waiting for NSIT and ORCSA to approve my host request, so in a few days this site will also be hosted at couch.uchicago.edu, in the hopes of making it easier to find. In addition, I submitted a listhost request, which should come through in a few days. I think having both might be a bit of overkill, but oh well.

I'm not really sure what else there is to put on this right yet, before anyone else is added. I feel like I'm making a speech but my audience hasn't shown up yet. Yeah, alright, then. 

*Update*

The listhost is up and working, and everyone's been invited. Although if you're here and reading this you probably already know that.

*Update Two*

We can't get an RSO webpage (ie, couch.uchicago.edu) until we're approved, so once that all falls together I will get that set up. Until then, we'll remain at couch-project.blogspot.com.
