She and her friends dressed up as their favorite videogame characters. Lauren's favorite character turns out to be Sam Fisher of Splinter Cell fame (What can I say? My daughter the intelligence operative....) We purchased a bunch of gear from Amazon (guess who's name is now on some FBI list!) and fashioned her night vision goggles from a pair of protective goggles along with some PVC pipe connectors we purchased at Home Depot. She supplied her own air gun. This was much more fun for her than her prom was (picture added for comparison) See the pix at: http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk124/ChrisMcN/LJM/ <http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk124/ChrisMcN/LJM/> __________________________________________________ Chris McNevins | ACQUISITIONS COORDINATOR UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT | HOMER BABBIDGE LIBRARY 369 Fairfield Way Unit 2005AM | Storrs, CT 06269-2005 USA PH: 860-486-3842 | FX: 860-486-6493 | EMAIL: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> "An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
