[KwartzLab] call for Hacky Halloween volunteers (and meeting on Thursday)

[Cedric Puddy]

My colleague, Richard (cc'd on this email) is not only the proud owner and operator of a Big, Red, Dodge Ram Pick-Up Truck, but he is also available to help with Hacky Halloween.

I'm not sure how many pumpkins you can get into the back of a Dodge Ram, but let's count... 1... 2... 3... ... uh... lots!  :) (since these are not supposed to be monster pumpkins, I'm thinking a conservative estimate of 5x6 pumpkins (30) per layer in the truck bed gives us around 3-4 layers of pumpkins.  Since the bed is a lot longer than it is wide, 5x8 pumpkins average per layer might be more like it)

Richard and I were just chatting, and picking up pumpkins @ 9am at Nauman's would be no problem.  We'll need to get the address to Richard, and a bunch of us will still need to meet there to help with filling said truck with pumpkins.  I'll volunteer to meet Richard at Nauman's along with whomever else can make it.

Richard is also volunteering to help with carving.

Steph and I are in, of course, in whatever capacity wherein we can do the most damage^H^H^H^H^H^H good.
