Greetings from Press Row at Thon 2009.

I'm stationed here with my esteemed greeks reporters and my campus editors, and we're just about all set up for the next three days.

What does it take to cover the biggest Penn State event of the semester (perhaps the year)? We've got five laptops, cameras, video cameras, voice recorders, spare notebooks, extra reading material and a slew of staff members signed up for shifts until Sunday.

The Daily Collegian Online will remain a 24-hour operation this weekend, so be sure to continue checking for updates. We'll be posting articles on our soon-to-be-released revised home page. But, for the first time ever, we'll be posting videos of Thon throughout Thon. Of course, don't forget to check our Thon blog for more information about the weekend and this blog for how we're handling it all.
