Look what Media Center Assistant, Pranav, is up to! Pranav is well skilled in solving rubik's cubes. Maybe we could convince him to run a workshop in the room to teach others. Any interest??

The Weiss Gallery is showcasing a collaborative Student-Faculty Research Project from students, Kylie Sanchez and Lauren Schill and Professor Eng. Although it is a ceramics based project some material and yarn scraps from the Makery have been incorporated into some of the installations. Our creative supplies are here for your future projects as well! @dickinsonarts

Our in-house wizard, Tom, got the reel to reel working and we have a 1973 @dickinsoncollege Collegium concert playing. We have a few other's from the mid to late 60s with the original programs. We didn't *think* we had one for the '73 recording but we were showing this to Professor Jamie Reuland's Music in Media class and she recognized the song playing. We had an unmarked print out of a song list, but not a full program, that we were able to now match with the recording thanks to a music professor's keen ear and great memory! @music_at_dickinson

Up next is the 1905 Edison cylinder phonograph! This one has been in one of our staff's family since 1918. Today's tune is Oh How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning!

Happy Friday, Friends! We've got back to back music classes in The Room today looking at old music technologies so here's just one that is always available for use by all!

It seems it's the end of an era.

Although the Dwellar in the Cellar survived all last year, she only lasted 5 days into the semester. She fell off our radar for many months but returned to us over the summer thanks to housekeeping and public safety bringing her home after her extended stay somewhere in Armstrong.

We don't know for sure that she was cursed but we do worry about the individual who chose to end her time at Dickinson.

The good samaritan tried to guide her back to us but we missed the message and she was no longer on the east Asian garden stone benches by Stern by the time we went to bring her back.

Rest in peace dear dwellar. We shall celebrate you during spooky season as you would have wanted.

The Room is here for you in your time of need. We

The Room is here for you in your time of need.
We have Tim Curry at your service. Rocky Horror on vhs. Clue and Muppet Treasure Island playing on DVD off of the gaming consoles. Dolly Parton on cassette.
We even have a Rocky Horror board game to immerse yourself in.

To show your love, feel free to make yourself a button with your favorite Tim or Dolly imagery on our button maker.

Don't Dream It, Be It♥️

We've got the 16mm projector up and running and tested out this original, @dickinsoncollege production "The Old Stone Steps" filmed in the 80's by Director Robin Miller. Who wants to watch it, and other random reels, in the Room this year? We will see what other gems might be floating around campus to have an old school movie night.

This film also shows Dickinson President Sam Banks, who side hustled as a Magician, putting on a magic show for students.

You can find the full video on Dickinson's youtube but watching it in film is pretty special.

You can now watch analog TV on the antenna. We get 5 channels including Univision! You can watch all of your daytime stories or whatever else might be on. Break the algorithm. No data is captured watching things this way!

To honor actor Sam Neill's passing we dropped the worst of the Jurassic Park franchise into the newly set up 13 inch crt tv/vcr combo. Sam Neill makes all films better, even Jurassic Park III.

We are sure this weirdo got into some real shenanigans during her 8 months lurking in Armstrong Hall. Not everyone is pleased to see her dead eyes back in Bosler (but others are glad to have her home). Thanks to DPS for getting her back to us.

She has a bandaged hand and broken foot. Thankfully the Makery has the tools needed to humpty dumpy her back together again.

If you have any lore about her adventures or just want to write up some fan fiction we are always interested in posting more about her side quests around campus.

We are already looking forward to spooky season👻🎃
