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.

I just got an email from the school reminding me about the bridge
painting
they do every semester.  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.
