A Very Happy/Crazy New Year

A happy to everyone. The trip to Charlotte for the weekend was complete success/disaster depending on your outlook. It you look at it from the aspect of hanging out with friends and having a blast, then the weekend was a compete success, but if you are looking at the weekend from a financial aspect then clearly it was a COMPLETE disaster.

A BRIEF recap of the weekend. Erin, Jewell, and I left Greenville Friday morning around 11 to make the trip up to Charlotte/Rock Hill for the weekend. Upon arriving at 1 o'clock the first thing Lynn suggest "Let's have a beer". This was a trend that continued for the next 13 hours. During these 13 hours the following things happened.

1. 13 of us watched in total disbelief as the Gamecocks blew 21 point lead to Missouri. Looking back on the game I realized how happy I was that I HADN'T driven 12 hours to Shreveport, LA to watch us lose our bowl game. Below is a picture taken at any moment during the second half.



2. Post game there was the same feeling in the air as finding out your girlfriend just left you for your best friend. In an attempt to "get the super fans" back on their feet, Dixon suggest a game of Trivia Pursuit Genus 5. I, along with Paq, Lynn, Erin, and Cassie, decide this is a horrible idea seeing as we have just suffered a defeat in football who wants to be humiliated in a game of Trivia Pursuit. We ultimately decide to pair into two teams consisting of "Team Scholar" which was Dixon, Trey, and Joe vs. "Team Remedial" which was everyone else. The following picture shows who won.

If you still don't know, please reference my teammate "Pun". He is the large confused looking gentleman sitting down next to me.

3. The entire group decides we need to go downtown to the busseling metropolis of Rock Hill and check out the bar scene. The following events occurred.

Dixon sells Trey on the idea of placing about 5 tablespoons of mustard in his hand for no apparent reason. Trey, who had drank a majority of his handle of Beam, promptly dropped it all over his shoe.

Paq dropped his pants in the bar


Other things that occurred were yet another Paq and Cassie make out session, Dixon challenging several of the "locals" to hit him in the face, and Karen puking off the back porch of the bar. Everything else is a blur. My next clear memory was walking out of the bar to find Lynn outside waiting for us to get in. The following exchange occurs

Paq: "Lynn, just tell me you are OK to drive".
Lynn: "Nope"

Lynn proceeds to open his passenger door in the middle of main street and hop into another one our cars that was driving home. Paq, Erin, Cassie, Jewell, Karen, and I stare at each other in disbelief and Jewell finally agrees to drive us home. Through some careful navigation, I managed to get Jewell into the neighborhood and this was when things went terribly wrong. I "might" have told Jewell to turn in the wrong entrance and somehow we discovered a dirt road in the middle of the neighborhood, thinking this is a construction cut through, we decide to stay on the road. Nearly 3 minutes later we hit a dead end with a creepy looking house with Christmas lights on. At this point Karen, who had passed out in the backseat, wakes up and is very confused and starts to freak out. I very calmly got in her face and screamed "OH MY GOD, IT'S BLAIR WITCH!!!" This resulted in hysterical crying the remainder of the way home. I went to bed when we got home, but the drunkest man alive this weekend went to one Mr. Dan Dixon and this picture sums it up.





This was Erin's response to seeing the picture.

Please see Sigma Alumni for more antics from the weekend.

You sure talk about how fun all of your buddies are when you are clearly cutting the real prize short. I agree your friends are a blast, but this girl you seem to be dating is one hottie. Are there more of this where she came from? Does she have any equally fun and awesome friends? Perhaps one from where her roots are?
