in DHHill 2nd floor - above the learning commons in the Assembly Room - turn right after you get out of that elevator in the commons. 4p, Dec 8th

For those who missed the Haunted Tour - here's your chance to get in on the NC State trivia. Anything specific you think would be good for me to cover?

If you've been on a tour with me, what's something I should talk about that you would like to revisit?

12/4/2009 11:21:34 AM

record it and put it on youtube

12/4/2009 11:26:32 AM

Covering things like, but not limited to:
Holladay Hall Cemetery
Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1917 on campus in the Infirmiry where folks died.
Pullen Hall Fire of 1965
Watauga Hall Fire of 1901
Tompkins Hall Mill Fire of 1914
The real cornerstone of State College (it's not in a building)
1911 Dormitory Barracks - when NCSU was a military school
Brooks Hall (Old DHHill) Special plan
Freemasons Involvement in Campus Design and masonic cornerstones and the All Seeing Eye
Why UNC and NCSU are rivals. (It has nothing to do with sports)
Why we buried our old well and where it is located.
Historic Remnants of old Campus Dorms and Classroom Buildings
The old Courtyard Creek

12/4/2009 6:06:44 PM

I'd love to hear some history of the Court of Carolina, Thompkins Hall, and a history of Steam tunnel related occurrences, if we have any. History of utilities services on campus, why we use all bricks so fucking much (I don't know if the old story is true), et cetera.

12/4/2009 6:51:32 PM

all that will be covered! Broughton has a really neat story.

What else? keep it coming!!

12/8/2009 8:16:00 PM

Hey Matt...thanks so much for the lecture. It was really, really informative and really interesting. Definitely learned a lot of new and cool facts about N.C. State. I really recommend everyone checking it out when it becomes available online. I am definitely interested in learning more about the history of this place. I am a huge history buff and that was really awesome. Thanks again Matt.

12/8/2009 10:43:47 PM

So glad it was recorded, such that my stupidity might be immortalized.

Great lecture, Matt! It was also really great to see you again! Good luck, buddy.

12/8/2009 11:23:38 PM

looking foward to the video. hope you had a good turn out.

12/8/2009 11:26:04 PM

^ Room was about 90-95% full for most of the presentation. Some people trickled out at about the 7/8 mark (around 5ish).

12/8/2009 11:28:07 PM

bttt for video?

12/9/2009 7:06:02 PM

bttt for video?

12/9/2009 8:37:13 PM

still waiting on link myself

12/10/2009 12:09:02 AM

Wait, did you TA D231 two years ago?

Ah ha! It all makes sense. I remember you used to give us lectures about the history of the campus and kept telling us about the belltower.

12/11/2009 12:06:24 AM

missed it

12/11/2009 1:31:45 AM

Just finished watching it and I must say that I am very impressed. I really wish that I could have attended the lecture in person. I appreciate you sharing all of this information with us.

12/11/2009 3:10:02 AM

I sat in the back row center. It was a terrific presentation.

12/11/2009 11:05:38 AM

i couldn't make it because of a conflict but appreciate you taking the time to do it. i am going to watch the video and hope to make to the next event.

12/11/2009 11:26:43 AM

ArcBoyeee, are you taking any part in future presentations as well? Or is this it, since you've got your Master's?

12/11/2009 8:46:56 PM

im computer dumb and dont have itunes, is it available in any other format?

12/11/2009 9:38:54 PM

i wish - that's all i've seen at this point. Maybe someone nice can convert it for us (and make it way smaller).

and Spontaneous, yeah, this is it. my last hurrah before walking across the stage for the 3rd time. bwahhaha.

but

I love giving tours of cool shit around campus, so if there's a group thats interested, holler, and we will make it happen. it's worth it to see some of the things I talk about in the lecture IRL

12/12/2009 3:17:32 AM

Is this ever going to be on youtube or are we stuck with that communist propaganda tool itunes?

I mean, I will download itunes if that's the only way to watch this, but I'd rather avoid it. I am highly interested, though.
