COUNTDOWN: MacPierce Scav 2009
Personally, one of my favorite years. Bowies, bowies, and more bowies!
Excellent roadtrip outfitting, including a gigantic pegasus head for one of our roadtrip crew made out of chicken wire, duct tape and squishy eyeballs (we got a box of these from one of our sponsors – and we use every part of the sponsor).
Captains had to dress like David Bowie, and at least once during the hunt transform into another incarnation of David Bowie – so Ziggy Stardust to Labyrinth Bowie. Or, the best thing ever!
Earlier in the FOURDAYS an item called for Moai statues to rise from the dew on the quads, our Moai statue – affectionately called David Mowai rose to the challenge. And then, when we realized we still needed to make a functioning vending machine for Showcase, we put it INSIDE the Moai statue. And it worked.
Robert Pape the friendly Muppet. A classroom-interruption item (the best!) called for a muppet to replace one of your professors before class. Needless to say, Muppet Pape got a fantastic response from the class, his doppleganger, and remained a beloved mascot for the remained of Scav.
Camp Scavvahunta: skits, ghost stories and camping on the quads Friday night.
Scavagon trail. Ford the MIDWAY! And make sure your 8-bit oregon trail theme plays all the way back to Headquarters. Dun doot doot doot.
