[[Pictures from SocialMeetings | Pictures - Social Meetings]]

Celebrating Irish Heritage through potato guns, plus construction (outside) of a messy Rube Goldberg device.

6:30 pm at Tina's house, directions via email. We need people to bring a potato gun (Dennis?), potatoes, and a target. For the Rube Goldberg device, we need people to bring ideas of what useless/useful thing we want it to accomplish, plus all sorts of interesting things to incorporate into it. Snack food contributions and lanterns would also be good.
