Paul Daniels' Going Away Party

Paul Daniels' Going Away Party

(Hosted by John Dyck)

For those who know Paul D, a party to celebrate the time-slices of Paul in Winnipeg (or before or after)

Time and Place

Start Time:	Saturday, December 15, 2007 at 9:00pm
Location:	john's crib -- #10 554 Jessie

Description

Time to say goodbye to Paul, U of M style. Show up around 9 at my place and bring fixings for fruity drinks (because, you know, this party is about Paul). If things get too loud we may move to the Toad or Confusion Corner Bar and Grill, depending on how cold it is. (Any preference, guys?) (To get to my place, #10 554 Jessie: come around to the back, up the first flight of stairs, and straight ahead to the porch with shelves and a table on it.)

Help!

Hi everyone. The department needs the help of anyone creative, artistic, or otherwise innovative in re-designing our booth for next year's Evening of Excellence. As you may know, the Evening is a chance for high school students to come and learn about the various departments and schools. Other departments set up booths that include gimmicks such as baking and other snacks, snazzy art, little toy teeth (guess which school), power point presentations, and videos. (This year we had... pamphlets.) We are looking both for great ideas and for people with the wherewithal to make ideas come true. Keep in mind the audience -- sixteen-year-olds with no knowledge of philosophy (so no in-jokes that only we would find funny) -- and the only restriction is that the displays must be silent. I also assume the university would frown on any displays of full-frontal nudity. So with those caveats, feel free to bring your ideas, sketches, mock-ups and home-made short movies to me, Laurie or Carl, or just talk to us about anything that you think might work.

Phil Fridays

I notice that the calendar for Phil Fridays are open beyond this month. When can we begin to bid on Fridays for next term?
