Various Results and Some Pictures

Solar Oven Throwdown results are in - we did not win the throwdown on Performance Index or heat, but my group (Carry On My Wayward Sun, with an oven named Kansas) did win the Gore "All-In-The-Same-Boat" award for teamwork and got $50 to spend at No Anchovies, the pizza place on University. We did pretty well, but one group predicted their temperature exactly and won that way. This is our oven pre-throwdown. The people in charge keep saying they'll give us the photos they took at the competition, but haven't said where. Pretty proud of it.

Historic District Haunted Dungeon raised over $300 and more than 300 cans for the community food bank and UA Campus Pantry, with a total of more than 1100 people coming through over three nights. I survived almost getting run over by golf carts, increasingly obscene radio signals (come on, we're college kids), and having almost no voice while being a zombie for all three nights. (Surprisingly, the only radio signals that stayed the same were "rotten guts" - the code for drunk people, and "child's play," which meant a kid was coming through so tone it down. The first got called about twice a night; the latter only once the whole time). Here I am after the second night:
And during break time on the third night with some other people who were working in Yuma (yes, that prop is supposed to be a chainsaw):
I finally have a picture of my intramural volleyball team the Gila Monsters. We had a perfect 0-4 season, but we had a lot of fun. Most of the guys are missing from this picture - we actually had 8 people on the team:
And finally, my intramural soccer team, called Gila, the Gila Ballers, the Gila Monsters, or Red, depending on who you ask, played its first game of the season. Yes, some of the Brazilians from the second floor played, and yes, they are pretty amazing. We beat the ThunderGatos from Arbol dorm 5-4 in overtime. This is most of the team; we had the lights turned out on us, so the quality's not great. We're planning on a better one next week:
More on Thursday.
