First Issue Assignments!!!

[Kiren Brockett]

Okay, here we go. If you go to WS, I've probably already contacted you in the halls, but if not...

The Crow's Nest Dispatch (CND) is our new site newspaper. Every couple of months or so, we'll put out a new issue. I'm already working on the problem of how to make it accessible to people. We're probably going to make an online version, as well as a few printed editions for members.


Sooooo.... for this issue, we need....

About seven articles on current events or pop culture. I'd really like somebody to cover the invisible children in Sudan and Uganda, and the presidential candidates. (The humor columns/rants are already taken for this issue. Sorry. These seven articles are serious, real journalism.)

Two articles on either WS or the Crow's Nest.

Eight art and/or poetry submissions.

At least one comic strip involving the Crow's Nest.

One book, movie, TV show, or video game review.

As many cover submissions as you want.

Pictures of Schmergo (not photos, drawings)

People who volunteer for things, I'd like you to get at least half way through by the end of Spring Break. Preferably done by then. Wickedgrl and Dylan need to set up at time to take pictures for his skateboarding article. Schmergo needs to come up with a good time for me to interview her. Yeah.

Get to work, my crows. Also, recruit people. I want this issue out by the end of April.

Work, ye scabrous dogs!

[Schmergo]

Aku, you can interview me at any time. Anytime when you're home, you can always use a telephone and contact me thusly.

I'll write an article on writing (don't even ask me how I will do this-- I'll show it to you when I'm done) and I want to do a comparative review of both the book and the movie of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," which are two vastly different entities. I can also make a comic strip... and I'm definitely going to give you some pictures of me drawn in various styles of art, haha... you can choose the least disturbing ones.

I can do reviews...I should also do a section on life at LB....

[kanegunlock]

I need alot of time to do the game reveiw

[Schmergo]

Or you can do a video game you've already played.

Ooh, what about Twilight Princess?

[kanegunlock]

ya but every one knows that is frickin awsome that be stating the obviuos Savvy

[Schmergo]

Yeah, but you can talk about what exactly MAKES IT so awesome! And be detailed! And stuff!

[kanegunlock]

good ponit

[kanegunlock]

Guitar hero II comin to the 360 next month so i think i might do that

[Schmergo]

Guitar hero! Haha, we played that during "Pride and Prejudice" rehearsal. Mr. Dombrow wanted to do it on the highest difficulty level, but he'd never tried it before, so we persuaded him to try 'easy,' but he thought it would be too easy. Well, he tried easy... AND HE LOST! Miserably. He called himself a disgrace to music education.

Dombrow's awesome.

[Broker of Darkness]

I'm going to get that game....Its so tight..I saw this video on youtube where this guy edited the game so he could play Dragonforce's "Through the fire and flames" it was so awesome...
Heres a link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV0qM6-HLuk

But the sound is kinda bad and also you have to hack the game to get it on...Also its an realy hard song anyway.....It should be classifed as super expert or something...

[wickedgrl75]

I can do take any pics, not just skateboarding, and do an article about the disturbing bathrooms in WS, eww...... could i interview somebody, i've always wanted to do that:)

[Schmergo]

You'd be a good interviewer! And someone should definitely write a gross-bathrooms article.

[kanegunlock]

so when i get back from braek i'll pick it up and review

[Zaldax]

Only if i get a political/rant/general insanity comedy column...i do enough serious research for other peoploe already...so i'm pretty much booked on serious research for a few months......unless it's serious research in conjunction with a comedic coulmn as stated above...

[Schmergo]

Aku, I know you said those things were taken, but seriously, give Zim a chance-- I bet he'll come up with something hysterical. One more article can't make TOO much difference!

[CaT24FaN]

I call TV!!! I wonder what I'll write about *pokes siggy*

[CaT24FaN]

I'll also do the cover...

[Broker of Darkness]

O.K i'll do a book review and a CD review...That life at LB thing might have to wait but I'll try to pull it off...

[Zaldax]

I need to know asap if you want me to do those...
