Well we arrived in Indianapolis without any problems and we actually had nice hotel rooms. We went over to the exhibit hall to set up our projects around 6:00 P.M. The first thing we noticed was Michele and Janelle’s project was flagged by SRC (meaning it could not be set up). The SRC marked their project because they were unsure how their project differed from Janelle’s project last year. SRC was helpful and we got it cleared up in less than 20 minutes.
So we went back to continue setting up and then we found when Michele L. needed to get her project approved that she also had a problem. So back down to SRC (by the way SRC headquarters were about 2 football lengths away n the convention center, I got lots of exercise) Anyway, it seems that Michelle checked the wrong box on her abstract. This is a definite mental note I will make for next year and we were going to have to wait until the following day to get an appointment with SRC. But one f the nice ladies there just simple went around one of the other lady’s back and unchecked the box and got u set back up with abstracts. She was doubly nice as she didn’t make us go all the way back to the exhibit hall to retrieve the old abstracts; she just allowed us to throw them away. Yeah!
When I got back we found that Michelle and Janelle’s wheel was severely damaged in transport. I don’t have any pictures of it to post, but needless to say it was not functional. But we found out from set-up display safety that they wouldn’t have been allowed to set it up anyway since they would have had to have Plexiglas shielding around it. This is also a mental not for any future engineering projects we send.
We about 2 and half hours after we started at the exhibit hall, we finally made it out with everyone approved. Let’s see what Monday brings.
