[TriLUG] OT: anyone in downtown Raleigh tall building?

[Glenn Hennessee]

Dabney and Cox halls on NC State Campus have outside balconies that MAY 
be useful for this. I don't where the moon will be in relation to the 
balconies. Cox is 6 stories high and Dabney is 8 stories high. Dabney's 
balconies face North, West, East and South which should cover it no 
matter where it is. There is no problem with you using them. There are 
various towers on the skyline with blinking light.
