Preparing for the First Night Game
First Visit by Reese
Night Game…Decamhian Blitz
Today was crazy. We started with secret pals. Then the staff was supposed to finish the second draft of their profiles and Reese was going to come by for the first time. And to top it off, Zoe was going crazy trying to get water polo practice together.
Zoe did go over every one's assignments for tonight ans then we just let the staff chill while we installed the new enhancements and Reese taught Zoe how to build a template and create mug pages.
You can see below that chillin' takes on various forms

At 4:30 the staff began to gather for the Night Football Blitz as the JV game started at 5. But by the time the evening was done we must have had at least seven photographers and ten writers covering the event.
In my summer workshops I talk about "interactive" coverage which is when you try to gather all information for a specific story on the spot, instead of trying to recreate what actually happened weeks after the event.
It was definitely a beautiful thing watching so many of my staff working so hard and having such a great time doing it.
