The Night Before...
7.00 - 8.30pm
Light boozing in Aaron's room (like jogging before a marathon) - Belgian beer flows freely.
8.30 - 9.00pm
Took a bus to town, got some cash out... & walked to Toffs.
10.00 - 11.30pm
Toff's Stage One - Aaron is confronted with many Stellas, purchased by friends (thanks guys!), but alas there are too many for traditional methods of consumption - Spud, whose keen wit instantly grasps Aaron's dilemma, initiates a game of "douse everyone with beer," delivering the noxious belgian brew to others in a variety of creative ways: banging bottles together to get them to foam, spewing it orally, and the old faithful, pouring it on them. Everyone takes to the game and a merry time is had by all.
11.30pm - 1.30am
Toff's Stage Two - The opening festivities concluded, everyone moves onto the dance floor. Beer dousing continues for a while, but is eventually replaced by a more interesting pastime - despite what onlookers might have thought, we were *dancing*, not having epileptic fits. Crazy Tom assists Aaron in crowd surfing and Spud wrangles a bottle of cider/champaign from the bar stuff. At a key moment, the DJ plays Cotton Eye Joe, and everyone participates in a barbaric ritual in which Tequila gets poured into everyone's mouth, for no apparent reason - other than the obvious one, that is. Spud assists Aaron in exiting the club and everyone assembles outside. Certain unfortunate souls, unaware of the mayhem and antics to follow, leave early and miss out.
1.30 - 2.30am
The walk back to campus is more eventful than the walk to campus - Spud finds a traffic cone that matches his eyes perfectly, and thus clad, chooses to sing songs expressing his feelings about traffic cones and just generally attempts to enlighten the world to the merits of such behavior. Aaron attempts to sing harmony. The group encounters another group of students bearing traffic equipment, and Spud points out that their fence is vastly inferior to our traffic cone, singing songs to express this viewpoint. After we are unable to start a fight with them, we move on, to Wentworth.
2.30 - 3.30am
We knock on Sam's door and throw a party in his previously silent and slumber filled abode. With some members still in bedclothes, or lack thereof, we continue back to Goodricke, pausing only briefly for Spud and Aaron to wade through the Wentworth lake, for reasons that seemed sufficient at the time.
3.30 - ?am
At Goodricke, a tree that was knocked down is placed in the toilet for everyone (and especially Mary the cleaner) to enjoy. Aaron is discovered to be stone cold sober and is plyed with copious amounts Vodka, Leonard brings a cake which finds its way onto Aaron's head and Sam's chest, there is herbal refreshment, a move to cut Aaron's hair is averted at the last minute, and just generally ridiculous amount of hanging out in Josh's room gets done.
