| What were you doing on Dillo Day? Dillo Day may seem like the laziest day of the year to some, but for Mayfest and Niteskool organizers it can be a hellish experience. Some of the highlights you didn't hear about: Students worked straight through from 6 a.m. Saturday morning till 6 a.m. Sunday morning constructing the stage and taking it down because Northwestern need the Lakefill clear by 10 a.m. Some workers arrived as early as 8 a.m. on Friday morning to begin work on the stage, putting in a total of close to 300 student-hours. As late as Thursday, Dillo Day organizers didn't even know if they were going to have a stage because of work permit problems. NU requires all students to have a certificate indicating that it is legal for them to help build the stage. No one had such a permit. Robert Walter's 20th Congress showed up a half-hour before their 7 p.m. set. Organizers had planned to either extend the drum circle if the band didn't show or send out Long Beach All Stars earlier than their 9 p.m. scheduled start time. Because of the rain last week, Dillo Day workers weren't allowed to drive trucks onto the field. They had to carry all the plywood and metal necessary for construction, severely slowing down the process. The wind was too strong on Friday for workers to build the stage's roof. Employees of Red Bull energy drink hosted a tent promoting their product on Dillo Day. They set the tent up by planting metal stakes in the concrete. Unfortunately, with their engineering prowess at a minimal level, they didn' t know how to take down the tent not "set up on grass." The tent was removed after the Athletic Department threw a fit and forklift was called in to hoist out the stakes. |
