The Invasion of the Blue Hairs (and the public debut of the Friday Night Pokemon Band)

Salut et Bonjour mes cheris et mes ennemis, well it was alumni weekend here at Marywood these past couple days. And these past couple days have been spent trying to dodge alumni demanding to see their old dorm room, and demanding to know what printmaking is and what all of the equipment is for. Oh yes, and also trying to find a space to eat in the cafeteria, as the main sitting area was quarantied off for them. It was really rather unfair, on top of all of this they were serving alcohol at the little alumni gallery show that they were having in the studio building. Now the thing that you have to understand is that Marywood is a dry campus, even if you are 21 you cannot have alcohol, and residents don't even think of coming back home to your dorm if you are drunk (even if you are 21). Well we had been very good sports about dealing with this invasion of alumni, and we felt that we deserved beer. We were however denied, so we decided to try to persuade with a little song. It was at this critical point that we finally learned how to crank the volume on the electric organ (my mistake before about calling it a piano). We went all out, two people playing the organ at once, with beats ranging from samba to disco, and belting out Pokemon as loud as we could. We still didn't get any beer.

Steady my dear...Be kind to yourself and those around you.Time passes on and some day you will be the blue haired one.PATIENCE, HUMOR AND MORE HUMOR and some good tunes sooth the savage beasties inside. AND some dancing wouldn't hurt either.

so are you allowed to have mouth wash that contains alcohol? or are you cavity searched for suspicion of sneaking in any substance that may cure your uncloudy mind? How extreme to go from La Crosse, city of blocks of booze, to a dry campus- though it did make you sing out and that was something I never saw from you in La Crosse-- ashame-- you shall have to come back and sing to us sometime- pokemon or some other scooby doo chant- any cartoon you wish---
All in all- sounds different, which is good, but slightly odd and not MY style, but carry on.....
