The paint the bridge is an annual event, and I believe they allow walk-ons when there's a group that doesn't show. The event goes on tomorrow (Sept 4th) and Thursday, Sept 5th. I'll be there, but for another group so I don't think I'll be able to help, but usually you just go up to the east bank end of the bridge and that's where the organizers will be.

Organizations have to sign up ahead of time and registration is closed, but I think they let individuals paint stuff too on a first come first serve basis. I have a friend that painted something last year but I've never done it, so if anyone knows more about this feel free to chime in. I'm pretty sure you can paint anything you want since I've seen such useful panels as "Everybody poops" in the past. If you don't know what I'm talking about, there's a pedestrian bridge over the Washington Ave. bridge to get between the East and West Banks of campus. There's a covered part of the bridge, and on the inside of that there are lots of things painted on each panel - some of it informing you of various things to do on campus, some telling you which dorm or frat is the best ever, and so forth... If someone knows more about this than I do and it's possible for a few of us to meet up on the bridge painting day for this semester and maybe just paint a tux and the URL? Paint and brushes are provided there. If we needed to register ahead of time, maybe we could do it next semester at least.
