Ten years

[steuard]

Ten years ago last night, I proposed to Kim at the end of our last Mudd Occasional Ball. It's a bit scary to think that it's been that long. Definitely one of my better decisions. :)

And while I'm on the subject of ten year anniversaries, let me take a moment to put in a brief plug for our ten year college reunion coming up on May 2-4. For those of you who went to Claremont schools, we'd love to see you if you can make it (even you're not class of 1998, you've got plenty of friends who were, right?).

Congratulations! 1997-1998 was a busy school year for engagements. :)

Oddly enough while looking for a CD last night I found one that was a MOB set list, ending with the Sir Roger de Coverly.

I don't suppose you'd be able to rip me a copy of that CD? :D

[wrenb.livejournal.com]

That I can do. It's a burned CD labeled "Set 1". I'll get it copied this weekend. Email me with your address.

Come to think of it, I'd love to have at least the "Sir Roger" music, too. Where did that come from originally?

[wrenb.livejournal.com]

If the CD copies properly for Abi, you can certainly have one too. I have no idea what the original source for the MOB music was.

At some point we decided it would be more efficient to burn the set lists to a CD, instead of having to set up twenty-some CD's into CD changer. With the exception of a few that people requested music from, and a few that were from my (or Kat's) personal collection, almost all of the music came from the MOB's library of CD's, which stayed at Mudd. So, I no longer have copies of many of the things we usually played there.

I can't this year (darn you, work, darn you!) But I am so going next year. (You have friends in class of '99, right? ;)

[steuard.livejournal.com]

I do indeed have friends in the class of '99 (friends whom I haven't seen in far too long, in too many cases). As it turns out (I keep meaning to blog about this), I'm going to be here at Joint Science for one more year, so I'll be at Alumni Weekend next year as well.

What I really want, of course, is some sort of "Alumni week" in which people from the classes of, say, 1996-2000 all show up, hang out together, and perhaps run an IL game for a couple of days in the middle. :) I don't think that's realistic, though. (I'll give it a few years, at least. As it happens, there are roles for kids in the Tolkien IL game I pondered writing years ago...)

Oooh! See you in '09, then :).

Hm. Sounds like what's needed is rolling reunions, eh? So there's, say, 4 days where each class is invited, overlapping appropriately... ;)

That'd never work, though.

Side note: I just noticed (in the email notification of your comments here) that you've changed the official title of your blog. So I've gotta know: where did "1099-LIVE-BADGER-WITH-RABIES" come from?

[ukelele.livejournal.com]

*lol* I'm glad someone noticed!

I was doing our taxes, and I was asking nonnihil if he'd gotten a copy of some form or other, and he replied that any even vaguely tax-related form he got, he'd put in my mailbox. W-2s, 1099-DIVs, "If I got a 1099-LIVE-BADGER-WITH-RABIES, I put it in your mailbox."

Some phrases just hang there, shimmering with their LJ-nickname-ness.

I also would love to have an "alumni week," but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Roles for kids in an IL game sound really cool, though! And I look forward to seeing you and Kim in '09!

Congratulations! I remember that MOB, though at the time I don't think I realized it was a spontaneous thing. :)
