Mason Sets the Price

Gentleman of Mod 26 LP
Our buddy Mason from Lane Park called me today and he set the price for the Plasma and Surround Sound System:
$2500
Now, I have not done any research on it, but I think that this price is pretty steep. I'm looking to pay $1500 max. GMP?

Getting the "Edge"

Being the prolific bloggers that we are, I figured it might not be a bad idea to try and syndicate with other great blogging individuals such as ourselves. I know mr. El Miz and AGS also have blogs of their own (fine works I might add), but I would like to draw the attention of Lane Park residents to one of the greatest business minds that this world has ever seen:

Mr. Scott Bradley, ladies and gentlemen:








Scott, as you may or may not know, is the author of the blog scottgbradley.blogspot.com. Scott is also the author of the Heights column, "The Entrepreneurial Edge." AO and I were discussing the other day how influential Scott's ideas really are. For example, Scott offers incredible insight into the inner workings of business that people with over 50 years of experience I am sure do not even know of!!!

For example, Scott evangelizes how, "Increased sales will lead to increased revenue for your company!" Scott also advises that " A successful product is much better than a failed product!"

I must have been going at it all wrong, let me tell you. This kid knows it all!!!

Therefore, I highly recommend that we form some partnership with this "business wonderkind" of sorts, as he can only bring fame and fortune to Lane Park.

Hopefully he could offer us some revolutionary advice such as, "If you have more cash coming in than going out you will make money!"

RIGHT ON BABY!

"Are You Fired Up Because I'm Fired UP!!!!"

Up until now 26 Lane Park (26lanepark.blogspot.com) was the only senior residence to be bold enough to venture into blog territory.

In an effort to rival the "dieselness" of Lane Park, Modular ("Mod") 8A has decided to start a blog of their own. Please check it out

Power Moves

I went over to LP today and talked to one of the guys, Mason. He said that he is not sure how much they want to sell the TV and surround sound for, but I gave him my number and I got his and he said he will get back to me in the next couple of days. I'll keep you guys updated.

More Thoughts for the Snappa League

Just talking with P, we came up with the idea that the leader in sinks every semester should get a golden pint glass, which he plays with in front of him every game, becoming a) something of a marked man but also b) it serves like the Yellow jersey in the Tour De France.

Whoever finishes with most sinks at the end of this semseter (I hear its between Donley and Andy) will have it for the first semester next yr, when the BC Snappa League commences.

Another idea, I think the venues should rotate. Obviously LP will be a proud host (and probably the preeminent spot), but I think playing at the Wade Street house where Ramon, BH, Dishaw, and Ray are living should be looked into, as well as playing in the Mods just to shove it in the face of the System.

At the end of the first semester, the Golden Pint will be passed onto (or kept, depending on what goes down) to the leader of sinks for the first semester.

PINT?

Foosball

Recently I have come to discover the greatness of Foosball. Fast, funk, and good while imbibing brews or toking ELs. One of these tables resides in Southold, and I plan on driving it up to Boston at some point in the semster.

Foozeball will be played at Lane Park. Pint agree?

PS redheadted has gone on record as saying he will make a power move and go to 26 lane park to negotiate for the TV.

Flat Screen and Surround Sound

Fellas,

I know much has gone into preparation for Lane Park, but clearly the first order of business is sending a business entourage to 26 Lane Park bottom apartment and negotiating a price for that amazing flat screen TV and surround sound. I think it is well worth it to buy since we can just sell it to whoever rents from LP next year. It is the most ballin set up on earth. Could somebody take care of this?

El M

VINO

While I was on vacation in "26 Lane Park-esque legendary" Cape May, NJ, I wandered into a store known as "Breezin Up." Now this is the type of store that I normally venture into numerous times, but leave empty handed every time because they quality of their product is just plain shitty. However, this trip the Easter Bunny came early and left me a subtle reminder of a pure necessity at 26 LP.

As I mosied around the store, a certain piece of finely crafted pottery caught my eye. Now its not often that pottery catches the googoo eye so I took a closer look. When I did, I found it to be a giant, Spanish-style jug with the words "VINO" painted across the lip, somewhat akin to this:



I couldn't help but think that the noble cause of 26 LP could only be further advanced if we had a jug, labeled VINO, containing VINO, available at all times for LP residents to "drink from the holy jug." (Not in a religious way of course) So as El-Miz says, we can take VINO "straight to the dome" at any minute of any hour of any day at LP.

Oh, and I just want to remind everyone that live music is better than recored music.

Peace,
GooGoo

Yimmy's

I was just thinking, invites to LP dinners are gonna be huge next year. Of course, most of the meals will be a combination of the LP residents, but I think once or twice a week, comrades should be invited over. These comrades will be expected to bring either a 12 pack of brews, a bottle of vino, or a blunt.

I want to propose that these invites should not be restricted to Boston College students. Any biddie that is being "worked" would be more than welcome. Cool antisystem professors who could share their knowledge would be fantastic. And any great individuals in general should be invited. One person that popped into my mind was the big man himself Jim, from THE DELI. For all the service, goof food, and great atmosphere Jim has given to us, I think we owe him something more than dollar bills. So, I think we should invite him along with his bros Nick and Leo to a dinner next year (sorry Shaky, you're just a little too wierd for LP). We'd sit them down throw back some beers, shots for Leo, and O'Douls for Jim (he stopped drinking a while ago). We'll make a masterful meal, maybe something we could reccomend for Jim's Deli. GooGoo Bolebruch would be in charge of the appetizers and we could all make a side dish or help with the entree.


Marathon Monday is approaching....goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Hopefully, El Miz will be in better shape for Jim

cleaning

I think it would not be a bad idea to get a cleaning lady to come every sunday and clean the place up. It would probably only cost $10 per person per week. Let me know what you boys think.

Live Tunes

There is no substitute for great live music. The experience is much richer than listening to a CD, and it provides listeners with a closeness that can't be achieved on a recording, even a live recording.
Therefore, I think we should make an effort to get some live music at Lane Park. My buddy Natty Connors plays with a friend of his here at BC, and their music is solid. I'm sure he would be down to come play at LP, and I think we could get a decent crowd to support it. If we got a keg of some good beer and set up a mini stage in our massive living room, I think it would make for an awesome night.
Post some additional thoughts...

Smoothie Detox

Sir Boom and myself have started a 48 hour detox that we feel is a good idea for next year. After a long weekend of many beers and L's, we felt a bit "off" yesterday. This is a usual Sunday hangover, nothing to worry about. But, we have been on a smoothie binge of late, so I proposed that we do a 48 hour stint with nothing other than smoothies and water. No food, no other beverages like coffee, and most importantly no substances (i.e. alcohol, marijuana, heroin).
Of course, as Wood is always down, we agreed to start last night and go until 10 pm on Tuesday.
I wanted to keep a log of the experience, and what better place is there to do it than the LP blog.
So far, 14 hours down, 2 smoothies in.
At 8:30 this morning we had a tangy smooth creation: ice, strawberries, pineapple, bannana, and orange juice. Got me through the morning class. Felt great.
12:50- mid day smoothie. Went to whole foods and stocked up for the fast. Second smoothie: ice, strawberries, a whole apple, green grapes, apple cider, and a "Green Vibrance" packet from whole foods that supplies a days worth of "certified organic greens, wild crafted herbs" in a powder form. The smoothie was very hearty and earthy.

I'm feeling good now. I think this is a great way to get your body back on track while enjoying yourself being creative with the smoothies and abstaining from harmful things. Miz, this summer we must employ this in Isla Vista. And with the amount of partying we're going to do in '07-'08, it might as well be a must in Brighton.

Stay tuned for the next smoothie...

Booyakasha!

Gentleman of 26 Lane Park

While surveying my options for the next semster, I have decided to do a Human Development pre-prac. Why does this affect the rest of you, you might ask? Well, because every student who does a pre-prac gets a parking spot on campus. Seeing as I do not have a car, I would like to offer this spot to my fellow residents at Lane Park.
There is a catch, however. I would need to use the car every Thursday to go do my pre-prac. Other than that, the car and the spot are all yours. Let me know if anyone is interested.
Respek,
Ted Smith

BBQs

Dicky T would love to get at the BBQ

Los Residentes,

Yesterday for an hour or so and today for about 6 hours, the outdoors returned as a haven for college partiers such as ourselves. We had a glorious day at 25 G, waking up from a raucous night and getting right back at it with leftover keg beer. We enjoyed some Ynzburg Cornhole, outdoor snappa, and grilling burgers DC-style. There were great guests from other houses including Dick Tranter and Ramon Lloret. There were also bz-s as El Miz would say.

Mod Sloppiness

My point is that we need to take advantage of the little nice weather Boston provides us. So, I think in the first couple months and the last couple, we need to have day long barbeques and snappa fests. Is our yard big enough for this? If so, a gas grill is a must as Wood, and Googoo bolebruch know from this year. With our backdoor screen porch, we could also host LP brainstorm sessions. We'd have to get some good deck furniture and a good table to put in the middle. Juice, of course, will provide the jazz.

college, no parents

I just wanted to remind everyone that next year we will be living at 26 lane park, going to college, and we will have no parents within hundreds of miles of us....sweet life.

C-Minus Wednesday

Being that I have no class on Thursday, I think C- Wednesday must be revived.

For the first C- Wednesday, September 5th, 2007, I recommend a viewing of the Big Lebowski on the big screen (has anyone secured that yet?) while playing the "The Dude's Challenge":

players drink a White Russian for every one The Dude drinks and players smoke a joint for every joint The Dude smokes. There are nine White Russians and four joints throughout the movie, so this can quickly lead to inebriation.

Other Thoughts Before I Hit the Sack

Gentlemen of Lane Park,

Loving the blog, I think this is a great idea, a great forum, for the exchange of ideas.

Regarding the parties, I love it. Think the idea is great. Mark this one on the calendar: LP Thanksgiving dinner. $15 and its all you can eat and drink (for non-residents). Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc. A few kegs of fine beers. Monday night before Thanksgiving. VIP list only.

LP should represent not only Anti-System beliefs but Class as well. These will be formal affairs, with good beers and a good atmosphere and environment. No sweaty, drunken nonsense. We will leave that for the Mods.

LP will be the place of the Kickback.

Specifically, the basement will be the place of the Kickback.

The back corner of the basement den I think could be the fulfillment of the Gerald Confessional. Drape a tapestry, I think we can even fit a hammock down there. I have the video camera and everything.

Good Food + Good Beer + Kickbacks + Confessional + VIP Lounge + Class = Lane Park

Everyday is a Holiday at LP

Gentlemen of LP (and all the ladies that pine over the LP gentlemen)

Holidays are a too often overlooked time in college. But wait you say, Woody we aren't in college, we are in LP. I couldn't agree more. Therefore I move that we pick up all the slack that the RA boards in the Mods lack when it comes to Holiday cheer. I move for a Halloween party, a huge Thanksgiving dinner, monstrous Christmas party, and never to forget the Gerald Street Formal (both Fall and Spring additions)

Gentlemen, we must take it unto ourselves to save our fellow anti-system activists from the downward spiral that is the Boston College campus, which enjoys nothing more than sucking the life out of young adults. We must mount up and bring the Cheers.

HYD
PINT AGREE

Lane Park Snappa

Could Juice (l) and Mel (r) run the table again?

I know about the Gerald Road Snappa T's and everything, but clearly LP will be the haven for die tossing and 5-spitting in the academic school year of 2007-2008.

YES I AM TALKING ABOUT SNAPPA!

We should have a designated SNAPPA room on the first floor (it can function as our family dining room for dinners the nights we cook dinner). I don't think BC SWINE will be cool with outdoor SNAPPA at the Mods, so we will have to host SNAPPA on a designated night (or two?) every week.

RULES:
1) Hit glass or off the back, it must be caught. If the die hits the ground, a point is scored.
2) Point is 1/3rd.
3) Sink is full pint.
4) Hit glass and lands on table for a 5 or if 5 is spit, pint (but no point).
5) Airball is 1/3rd.
6) Game to 7.
and the most important rule of all:
7) Play like a Soo Hoo.

Bailamos

While running through my thoughts yesterday, I realized that we are all friends with a master musician, Richard Tranter, and I think that Lane Park needs to take advantage of that. Therefore, I think it would be a great idea to have Richard Tranter over every 2 weeks or so to spin some beats and create a good party atmosphere. Richard has agreed to do it, so all we need to do is make it feasible. And, that shouldn’t be a problem for five ballers like ourselves.

Mods

Do the Mods have a blog? No, they only have Mikey Huff.

(The picture at the bottom of this blog--> actual photo of VIP party hosted at Bar 515 for the legendary residents of 26 Lane Park. )

Had To

Around 3 o’clock eastern standard time today, P-Man, the Juicebox, Awakened Wisdom and myself (Redheadted) walked into Great Places realty and signed the lease for the best off campus house at Boston College, 26 Lane Park. El Miz could not be there as he is currently living the El Got to Rio lifestyle in an anti-Swine haven in Melbourne, Australia.
As I sat at my desk this evening, I decided to give my mother a call and let her know that we had all signed the lease for our place next year. While discussing, she asked:
“So, Teddy, do you regret the decision to not live on campus in one of those mod things next year?”
My response: “Yes, mother, I definitely regret it. I am pissed that I do not get to share a 10 x 20 room with another person in addition to sharing a desk, a dresser and a closet with him. I am also upset that my parties will not be broken up by RA’s and cops at 1:30 in the morning. Also, I am really gonna miss going to BC Housing meetings in which they treat us like we are six years old and don’t know how to take care of ourselves.”

My response only contained some of the reason why 26 Lane Park will be the greatest 12 months of our lives. I mean, we are a group of five ballers living on two floors which contain four bedrooms, two kitchens, two common rooms, two bathrooms, two Buddhists, and two of the best snappa teams known to man. If that isn’t a recipe for success, then I don’t know what is. Deciding to live at lane park is a power move, and its one that I’m sure we won’t regret.

Dinner and Such

Maybe a Burrito Night?

Gentlemen. Legends. Residents of 26. This blog is as money as General Melvin William's stock picks. After a scrumptous meal tonight at 25G, I was thinking of how we are going to dine next year. I mean if we live like kings, party like kings, drink like kings, smoke like kings, we pretty much have to eat like kings huh?
So, I propose that we cook dinner at LP 5 nights a week. I would be totally down to do a lot of the cooking if need be. But I know El Miz, Wood and Juice have passions for good food as well and are more than capable of contributing (see: grandma Olga's meatballs made my Tim orroasted potatos made by GooGoo Bolebruch).
In order to make this happen, we'll have to commit to family dinners. Of course, if you can't make it one night here and there, you can't make it. But, we should limit our night classes and committments at night. If we dined together on a regular basis, made our own food, took pride in eating well and healthy I think our group could become even more close-knit. Just a close group of legends who combine forces to dominate senior year. I think the meal, dinner specifically, is mandatory to achieve this success.

the Lease

L-R: Sir Boom, el M, JUICE, RHTed, AO/P

The Lease will be signed tomorrow, and the greatness of 26 Lane Park will be Full On.
