Sorry it’s been slow here lately, we’ve been feverishly preparing for Slaughterhouse 17, which starts next Thursday, September 1. Slaughterhouse is always a great rally, but this year we’ve stepped things up a notch with a University of Chicago “Scav”-inspired weekend-long scavenger hunt that will tie all the usual events together. We hope you can make it, I’ll be one of the judges, and I’ll be DJing some French biker fuzz rock that everyone will hate, early-ish Friday night at Late Bar.
UPDATE: Don’t forget to check out the Scavenger List, which will be posted at 5pm today!
We should share a few things to help you plan before the full Scavengerhouse rules/list are published Thursday: Teams can be 1-6 members, so plan your team ahead of time. Each team will need a captain, a cell phone contact number, and a digital camera. Wireless internet access and a GPS will REALLY help. The list contains about 100 items of varying difficulty, including photo clues, items to collect, a math ‘word problem,’ performance art, and some time/location-sensitive clues including two big-point ‘secret missions’ that will be revealed over the course of Saturday.
Also, if you’re not interested in the scavenger hunt, fear not, we’ll keep you busy.
