Thon, round two (for some)

These dancers might not have had a chance to take a break yet, but I did. This post marks the beginning of my second tour of duty in the BJC.

It wasn't much of a break, but I did get a chance to see "Milk" at the State Theatre before picking up some snacks for the red-eye Collegianites. One greeks reporter and the campus editor are also here again, but we've picked up some help for the 1 a.m. shift.

When you're covering a 46-hour event, it helps to have a staff of 200 students. We currently have the sports editor and a copy editor on editing duty; we have an arts staff writer helping with writing, too. They'll be here until about 4 a.m.

When asked if he ever thought he would be working the midnight-4 a.m. shift of Thon, sports editor Kevin Zitzman replied: "Yes, really. Plus, I've posted three sports updates while here."

Good sport.
