A few thoughts after having been in the new dorm for a few days:
• I do not get cell reception (cingular) in the dorm. Others do. Be prepared for anything!
• Since you have your own bathrooms, don't forget to bring or buy toilet paper for the summer. You probably want to bring a trash can and possibly a lamp, too, as some of the rooms are very dark. Fortunately, we are all of a 30 second walk from the Walmart! (And for those of you who don't have ethernet cables, I bought one there a few days ago for I think $9.44.)
• When you get here, go to the Southwest door of the building (the door has a large "SW" on the left side of it). Most of you are probably coming from the south/Quad Cities on route 67. If so, you will get to a stoplight when you finally hit Clinton at route 30. Your directions will tell you to take a right onto Lincoln Hwy, and shortly thereafter, the destination will be on the left. While this works, it will actually be easier for you to go straight through that stoplight, and take your first right into the dorm's parking lot. This is quicker, easier, and will put you by the correct door to enter.
• The last few days have been wonderful. The weather has been beautiful, the river is looking more glorious than ever, and the town is about as delightfully quaint as one could imagine! The scenic folks have been tearing it up (literally) and accomplishing things at an astoundingly impressive pace. I cannot wait for the rest of our team to arrive so that our combined accomplishments will really kick things into high gear! I look forward to seeing (most of) you on Friday, or whenever your summer at the Showboat begins!
• By the way, gas here is only $3.35/gallon. What what!
As always, please do not hesitate to call (401-523-1010) or e-mail me if you have any questions!
