Quad Day 2006 - 22 Aug 2006
I wasn't able to actually participate in Quad Day with a booth this year, because the day was less than a week before the due date of our research group's big grant. But I was still able to take an hour or so to wander the Quad and get my traditional few pictures; and though it's taken a long time to finally get them up, it's finally happening now.

Images
Fire Demonstration
There was fire extinguisher training going on outside of Everitt for some reason
Fire Demonstration, II
I took pictures, but I didn't understand why they chose Quad Day to do it...
A Novel Idea
A book-writing club, ala NaNoWriMo. Also my first club picture of the day.
Crowds
Lots of people in the distance, and I've got a lot of pictures to take.
Courtney
With a mohawk? Interesting.
SIP-T
A new improv group. Whee!
Zhenya
An old friend from high school that I should really see more often.
Zhenya and Nici
The Francophiliacs. Cute.
CITES
They're actually growing to appreciate me. It's odd.
What You Will Shakespeare Company
We have those on campus? Cool.
Crowds
Lots of people, for no good reason. I still like taking these pictures.
Eamon
Manning an unknown booth. Oh well, I should get more context.
Hort Club
Always near and dear to my family's heart.
Hort Club, II
I'm sure that Dad's in some of the pictures there, but I'm too lazy to look today.
Zelda Shirt
It goes with the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship somehow, yes?
The Band
Setting up to play some marches. It's fun to watch from close-up.
Anti-Coke RSO
"Coalition Against Coke Contract". Cool.
Coke Kills
Pepsi saves?
The Band
As I got closer, I got more pictures.
Women in Computer Science
I always try to get a button, and they usually spot the fact that I'm not a woman. Damn.
Band and Cheerleaders
At this point, my view was pretty good.
Band and Cheerleaders, II
Of course, most of these shots look about the same.
Band and Cheerleaders, III
Of course, most of these shots look about the same.
Band and Cheerleaders, IV
Of course, most... wait, I already said that?
Sketch Comedy
Potted Meat? I can't tell.
Shooting his Friend
Squirt guns are a good idea for Quad Day, in general.
Chef Club
Mmm...
Frat Area
Yup. Those are frats alright.
Illini Orchid Club
Yup. Those are plants.
Evil Chicken
Be afraid.
Target Club
At least John was there. I should really join the staff version properly..
October Lovers
Okay, this is at least a funny club.
Killer Robot
Danger! Danger! It's Quad Day!
Illini Roleplaying Network
Aah, glorious dorks, just like me!
Harassing Illini
Always a...well, not *worthwhile* club, but funny.
DDR Club
It would have been better if there was no TV hooked up. Or at least funnier.
John
I got a coupon out of him! Whee!
Another Fighter
Advertising for their guys-with-sticks club. (I can't mock it too much, I've done it in less organized ways.)
Game Code Club
The solution for when you didn't get a table, I guess.
TechFront Club
DVDs and Star Wars. I like the Thrawn outfit.
Illini Crocket Board
It's odd to know more about cricket than 99% of the campus, and still not know much.
A Rhino
Or at least I guess that's what the costume is. I don't know what it has to do with the PDP.
Fighting with Sticks
The RAAAHS! never come through in photos.
Students for Individual Liberty
The spiritual successors to the Libertarians.
Darwin Club
I got a button out of them.
Darwin and Youth for Christ
I love finding booths like this next to each other.
NOW Table
Mostly important because that's Mom's table.
Dancing Troupe
I liked it, even if I didn't understand the style. But I'm a loser that way.
Dancing Troupe, II
They were even nice enough to start up again so I could take the shots.
Dancing Troupe, III
I think that there should be more mid-sidewalk performances.
Dancing Troupe, IV
And if I advertise them, perhaps there will be.
S.W.O.R.D.
Students Who Oppose Religions Dogma. Okay. Cool.
Water Hockey Club
I certainly didn't take this picture because of that excellent cleavage. Nuh-uh.
ACM
"Will code for Food - C/C++/Perl/Java". Cute.
Cru.
Campus Crusade for Christ at least has good advertising.
Roadside Conversations Van
I don't really understand this thing, but I think it's a portable Immersadesk. What this has to do with IDOT and Beckman, I don't know...
