Current Events
12/10/04 The Graffiti Party gracefully ends our days at 854... the end of an era.
10/8/04 The term starts off with a bang... 80's/70's/Retro Homecoming Party (more pics to come)
4/19/04 A guy from Kearsley Appliance stopped by. He said the fridge is beyond repair. The defrost heater died, so the back side of the freezer froze over, which then froze the circulating fan so that the air couldn't circulate. Since the air hasn't been circulating, the compressor has been running constantly and is about to die. So he said "I'm not sure what we have back at the shop, but we'll have one in here by Friday."
4/17/04 The fridge appears to be broken - our food is warm. Karley takes some of our freezer food to the apartments, the rest is crammed into Nick's mini fridge. Stay tuned for updates on the effects of food poisoning and how this problem is resolved.
4/16/04 Safety First Party is a sucess! Following some minor repair, the shack has suffered no permanent damage. The pictures speak for themselves - compliments of Greg Cumberford
4/16/04 The kitchen ceiling tiles finally fall in.
4/14/04 Residents notice a steady stream of water flowing from the bottom of the hot water heater. Estimates as to how much longer it will last are formulated.
4/8/04 Week 1 of 11: The term begins with no REAL problems. Internet is up and running and all house amenities seem to function well, despite the fact that the hot water heater seems to be leaking... badly. Planning has begun for April 16th, Safety First Party.

6/9/03 It's now official, THERE WILL BE A YEAR ENDING PARTY HERE FRIDAY JUNE 13TH. Reason for this party is that without the consent of the residents of 854, a "house regular" placed party flyers all around campus so now this party is happening.
5/31/03...Power hour then off to Rubes with the gang(local bar). Upon returing Reed shows up with Paint ball gun, Nicks room gets hammered and Nick and Scott end up wrestling and break the houses staircase. Matt claims he can fix it in 10 minutes and loses bet.

Waitress at rubes asks bill if he's underage... he answers by waiving his hands (that have no bracelet) in the air and says he doesn't want a shot. Waitress turns to Nick, asks if Bill is underage.... Nick says nooooo. Problem solved, bill takes shot.
5/22/03... Bill gets 50 gallon trash bags for house (this is ideal), as usual this is a "don't ask how i got them" procedure.. so we don't ask.
5/19/03... Week 7 is officially named, "Get shit done week (#2)"

5/12/03... Many breakins along Chevy Street. 854 remains unpenatrated.
