C-Cup report

It's been a fun week so far, with the winning team to be announced tonight. Also a special week with the 75th anniversary. Perhaps the strangest thing so far has been yesterday's "beer garden" right outside the clubhouse/Mendota lounge. It was standing room only--probably because all you could do was stand. No place to sit, and no more enjoying a beer under the canopy or anyplace else either.

The Union really likes this arrangement because they can keep an eye on us there with all the surveillance cameras. If anyone tries to leave the fenced-in area with a beer or give a beer away, they've gotcha. And there were enforcers everywhere--servers, guards, security, building managers, other paid losers checking wrist bands, etc. Susan Dibbell even made an appearance so she could provide Union director Guthier with a first hand report.

Anyway, gotta get moving here... we are leaving (by boat!) for the reception at Jo's within the hour. Well try to get some shots of the formal sail there. More later.

Cold sober

Comin' up, it's COMMODORE'S CUP July 18-26!

C-Cup '14 will have all kinds of fun including: sailing, urinating, throwing things, vomiting, mooning the Betty Lou, and... NO BEER.

Yes, read that again: NO BEER!

The plans were originally to have beer service, but this changed due to the new rules which are starting to get really annoying. As explained now on the C-Cup Facebook page:

"There will be no beer service this year as our budget cannot pay to have paid security at our event."

Wow. Some of you already new that, but this is a landmark event--a sea change in HSC operations. Of curse, you can walk back and forth to the Terrace and get beer, but that just ain't the same. What kind of party is it when you have to run to the nearest bar every time you want another cup of beer..? Aack.

Hey you! Lemme see that water bottle!

Carologue

Check out this Hoofer blog written by Carol -----. Long-time Hoofers will know who she is since she used to be very involved in the clubs. Her post is a bit off-the-wall, with some, er, colorful language, but it contains some very interesting stuff (and links). We really like some of her terms: scheme, power structures, horrific, and kafkaesque.

It might be a good idea to post any comments here as well as on her blog which she may or may not still be checking.
