* [[Goodrich Hall]] is a good Trivia HQ. Following the link to the Goodrich Hall wiki yields some useful forms and information for scheduling and using the space.
* Get the phone board from whoever has it. As of Spring 2005, that's Paul Stansifer. There are two jacks for it in the floor of the office on the second floor of Goodrich, under the big table near the windows.
* You'll need to supply your own (plug-in, standard) phones for the phone board, so ask your friends if you can borrow theirs overnight. There are jacks for 7 phones on the phone board(though many of them may not work), and it's recommended you use them all!, in addition to whatever cell phones with free night minutes your team has handy.
* Wireless Internet is available at Goodrich. You need a student or other Williams affiliate to log in for you, but once logged in, you're golden.
* Check that Security knows you'll be using Goodrichso they can turn off the card-reader for the evening. Do this a couple of times in case your contact gets lost in the paperwork.
* Scout out Goodrich for alternate entrances. During set-up for Spring 2005, Deine Mutter was hampered by the organizers of a hip hop dance show. The organizers had the front door locked, which made it challenging for us to get our setup equipment into Goodrich on our schedule. Luckily, we found an alternate way in.
* It would be a good idea to check with the Phones people and the Network and Systems people at OIT to make sure the phones are set up correctly and that the network is setup to handle the load from streaming WCFM off-campus. Do this a couple of times too.
