     Hmmm. You have good points, though if the recent weather is any 
indication, keeping warm will hardly be an issue. In fact, we might 
want to 
avoid sources of heat for as long as possible... but hey, it's THE 
CORN, we 
WANT it to burn. I've heard other comments pushing for later times 
and only 
gxaoui's suggesting earlier, so I plunked it down a little later on 
the 
schedule. We can always change it on a drug-influenced whim.

     It's mostly GXaoui's call since he's in charge of most 
facilities-related issues, and I tend to agree with GXaoui for 
simplicity... but maybe we could cut the man some slack if he were 
willing 
to clean it and more up the next day? Just a thought.

     This is totally cool by me; I think if you're sensible about 
what you 
tape and ask permission if there's any doubt, things should be fine. 
If 
you're about to tape something that you think the actors/actresses 
may not 
want broadcast on public television, no matter what the scope 
(Athens, 
Ohio's cable access may not reach many, but it's still public), your 
policy 
should be "Ask questions first, shoot later."
