This is going to be fun.

Beat zen pour aujourd'hui:

Why is it so hard to walk a strait path when our eyes literally focus on heaven?

So Lee is wondering home from Walsh and Thrift's wine and cheese party. When I told Julia where everyone was, she thought I said a Hawaiian cheese party. We'll be having one about a month after I can either milk a Hawaiian cow, or put a shirt on a tub of Brie.

Will, with your permission, I shall also remain.

Prosp3ct, with your permission, I shall grovel as a good toady should.

Uh, another thursday night...to bad no one has a camera...

So. Today I arrived at yet another Friday night, unconvinced of our current standing as a "party house." Talk about convincing--A party--sans discernable theme, time, invitations etc--betook to throw itself upon our home. Three hours, two holes in the wall and 30 or so people later, the party rocked, my brain was fried, and I was convinced...¡Vive La Beat!

...BTW This is my first Beatblog post, and I'm drunkenated.


Peace.

Beat Halloween Party!!! Friday, October 29^th! Come in costume (prize to the best dressed man or woman*). Tell your friends and spread the word.

*Win a night with Bob & “Brown Team”

Malt Likker & Movies at the Beat.
Can we get any cooler?

So, maybe we should post something about the events of homecoming weekend…

First, I would suggest you check out the Collegian, it pretty much covers the whole thing.

<>Great weekend overall…except around 4 in the morning we were all sitting around the living room chatting (most everyone had gone home and the lights were out) when some Townies came in the backdoor. We asked them to leave…but they didn’t really want to. So a couple of us called the cops while the others tried to talk them down. Result; the Townies got upset and took some cheap shots and ran when they realized the cops were on the way. In the end, our laundry room was a pool of blood and some of our friends were looking pretty rough…but they’re ok and chicks dig scars, right?

Seriously, thanks guys. We owe you one.

Homecoming at the Beat, September 17th-18th. Be there!

Prosp3ct and I are wondering what has become of our beloved cactus, Drowning Bob. We believe he deserves his own room after being a housemate for so long.

The Beat is better than ever. The whole house has been refinished thanks to our great new landlord. Special thanks to everyone (beatniks and expatriates) who helped out with our special projects (the Beat now features a party annex and a SpeakEasy).

Packing List for the Beat:

-400 cigarettes
-50 cigars
-1 fifth of Wild Turkey 101
-1 fifth of Vodka
-1 case of beer (cheap)
-1 case of Ramen noodles
…hopefully we’ll get the blog updated soon. The new team is: Dave Frank, George Linzel, Harvey Jones, Jon Gibbons, August Stafford, Lee Nunn.

Admin privileges granted...I look forward to seeing a more active site.

Btw, I think I still have some boxes in the basement...I will try to find some way to come by and get them, though it's a very long drive to Hillsdale from Boston. Otherwise, I may ask some friends still at the 'dale to come get them for me (read, Konrad LaPrade). :)

Best of luck with another year, and remember me to the ol' 'dale. I miss it terribly, and the Beat most of all.

Who all is living there this year anyway?

So, could one of us new guys get admin status on the blog so we could update it (comments, descriptions, embarrassing photos of Will)???

The new guys are getting ready to move in. So far on our packing list the priorities appear to be
1) Shot Glasses
2) Deep freezer for animal parts
3) Matchbox "safety streets" metal detector with charming phrases such as "Looks like somebody forgot to empty their pockets" and "look what I found".

IF ANYONE EVER EVEN COMES HERE ANYMORE...

I'd just like to report that my lovely wife has become a fan of Futurama. I am rejoicing. I no longer have to sneak my viewings thereof like some guys (fortunately not me) have to sneak beer. :)

Life is good.

Finally joining in the fun at Hillsdale College.

Gugg's party is tonight at the Beat. I can't make it (stupid house-sitting responsibilities). But you all should. Let us all know how it was.

HEY, WOAH: For some reason a Reist quote seemed apropos to the following question: Is it cool with y'all if we use the Beat for Mr. Gugg's bachelor party on the 26th of December (which, btw, every single one of you is invited to)?

Let me know (1) if we may use the house/fire pit, and (2) which of y'all can attend the festivities, hereafter dubbed "The Gugg Hitchin' Christmas Time Festival: Let All Women Rejoice and All Men Make That Funny Little Expression With Furrowed Eyebrows Expressing Something Between Confusion, Surprise, and Despair."
