    Hey all, before Grant runs away to Cambodia for a couple months on monday, we're going to have a special party at the House on saturday. We'll be dancing, probably order pizza of some sort, and will be trying to hook up some sweet mario kart action on the projector downstairs. So spread the word and make sure you're there to send the Roach off in style!

    What: Grant's Goodbye Gala
    Where: The Orem Swing House- 463 E 1070 S
    When: Saturday June 23rd, starting at 7pm.
    Who: The coolest kids in town
    What to bring: Dancing shoes, your friends, food- especially drinks, and water balloons to throw at Grant -just kidding. haha. ha. .... [Emoticon not found]

    Sweet. If anybody needs a ride, give me a call or PM me or something. ^_^

    You've got at least one gamecube, 'cause Grant called me to see if I knew where to get one, and I asked on the quark forums and found a guy whose girlfriend will let you use hers.

    i have 2 game cubes, five controllers, and one copy of doubledash...

    so if jeremy doesn't show, then we need another copy of doubledash and three controllers. maybe grant will go super crazy-go-nuts and buy what we need? [Emoticon not found]

    Word! Word! It was a crazy fun evening. So many people dancing, there was excitement and love in the air. 4 couples were engaged... but then they broke up shortly before leaving the House... good luck to you Roach, look forward to your welcome home party... speaking of which, does anyone know when Rachel gets back from her mission?

    I thought she left in late March, but either way, that puts her homecoming in September or October, which is unfortunate that she'll miss the start of the semester.

    Bye, Grant!

    I told Virginie you said hi, and she was like "Grant from where?" and I said "From Utah" and she's like "Oh, yeah! We had a lot of fun dancing.

    I also told Jofflyn and Amber you said hi, and they immediately and effusively returned the greeting, and wondered when they'd get to see you again.

    I'm afraid the craziness on this thread relating to honor code/church standards may continue. It would be nice if it was continued on another thread.

    [back on topic]

    MANY THANKS FOR AN AMAZING PARTY -- to Thomas for starting the facebook event, for Traci for conspiring with me to create the ultimate in Mario Kart madness, for Justin buying pizza, for those who actually helped pay for the pizza they ate, for the amazing female follows who provided some of the best dancing I've had in a while (since friday late-night at ULX07 maybe), for all those who drove a long ways (Bea and Emily win the prize I think), for the best man jam I've ever been a part of, for the cake and forks and knives and spoons (thanks Karen [Emoticon not found] ), for the Henry Weinhard's Cream Soda (my Visa debit card), for the hugs, for keeping the swing scene inclusive and welcoming and positive!!
