Friday Night Get Together

Hey guys,
If you weren't here last Friday, you missed out on some real excitement. Right after it started raining and we had to come in out of the rain, lightning struck the tree in the front yard of the campus house. Talk about a startling experience. It was LOUD and blew a big chunk of wood and a bunch of bark all over the yard, and then there was the smell of burning wood. It burned out my ethernet card, Danny's router, and Kenny's X-box, too. Ouch! So, regrettably we had to postpone the Hokie Scavenger Hunt until next week, Friday, Sept. 16. But it all turned out OK because we still had a great time just hanging out and playing games and a little guitar and stuff at the campus house while it rained outside. Everybody seemed to have a blast, and I can think of at least two really funny stories to tell you that happened that night, but I'll have to tell you in person sometime because it would just take too long by email. Ask me about it next time you see me.

So, since we had so much fun just hanging out last week, we thought we'd keep it simple again this weekend. We're going to have the volleyball net up and probably play some other games, and then pick a movie to watch a little later. I'll get us some popcorn and your choice of toppings for the popcorn, although probably not quite as many as the plethora of choices you had for the banana splits the other week. Pray for no rain so we get a chance to play outside for a while. Better pray for no lightning while you're at it!

We'll start at about 7pm this Friday at CCVT's campus house.

As always, feel free to bring some friends with you. Everyone is invited.

If you haven't been to our campus house yet, it is very conveniently located right by campus. We're right over by the Washington Street tennis courts, on Clay Street, which is one block over from Washington, and parallel to it. We are the last house on the end of Clay Street closest to the tennis courts. If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only about 100 yards from the bus stop on Washington Street. If you drive, we have parking. You can get clear and easy directions on the top right side of your screen. Of course you can always call us if you need to, too. 540-552-8292.

Remember, 7pm Friday at CCVT's campus house.

Hope to see you there.
Steve
