Cables and Countdowns.

Jason, Alex, Carlos, and Greta set the record for the greatest number of people needed to bury a 220 foot internet cable. A few quick grass stains and grub worms later, and TC's studio is  officially connected to that thing called the World Wide Web. 

Jason and Elizabeth shoot a countdown for tomorrow night's Grinnell Alumni gathering performance. 

And in the midst of all of this, The History of Nests is close to being finished complete with egg-cracking sound effects made with the help of Jenn M!
