Information for those coming on the project:
So, a detailed explanation of the project tomorrow is below. You can
read it if you feel like it, but here's the important stuff:
1. We have to be there at 5:00 p.m. and not any later. Anyone who wants
to can meet me in the APO office at 4:30 and we'll walk over, or you can
just meet us at the MIT museum. I'll have waivers for people to sign.
2. Remember, if you're staying for the second shift you need nice
clothes.
I think that's all you really need to know.
