PS10j - Frosh Move In, Dry Pub

The handing out / selling of Frosh Packs in the Gorsebrook Lounge.

Digression: Later on in the day, they got me sitting behind the tables. Now, I love dealing with, talking to, and giving things to people. That's right up my alley. The problem was that the tickets, being worth money (David Usher alone being worth $20), weren't stuffed in with the Frosh Paks themselves. Naturally several customers came and went before I realized I was supposed to be giving them the tickets too ("Hey Steve, what are these?"), but fortunately every one of them came back a little while later. ("Weren't we supposed to-" "Yes! I'm so glad you came back! I know, I'm terribly sorry! Here! Sorry! Have fun!")

Harassing some Frosh in the Gorsebrook parking lot. "SMU your butt! SMU, SMU your butt!"

            "What province are you guys from?"
            "British Columbia."
            "And you took it with you?"

It's kind of hard to stir up excitment among a group of forty-somethings that have dipped deeply into savings to send their children to a second-rate University. =)

Digression: A man was coming in with a loaded cart; on it was a computer, a monitor, a small TV, a DVD player, you name it. I'm trying to help him navigate through the doors and especially over the bumpy doorframes. We made it over the first doorframe okay, but on the second one, the computer fell on its side and the DVD player on top took a tumble - thank goodness it was well packed with styrofoam in it's original box. But what would a university student want with a DVD player? Between academics and socializing, who has time for movies?

During the Frosh Pack pick-up, SMUSA and the Gorsebrook were kind enough to give us all the soda we wanted, free of charge. From left to right: Adam Maher (star of Death's Apprentice), ?, Matt Langille (star of William Matheson's 'The Artifact').

A few minutes before the doors opened to Dry Pub (yes, there was a long line of Frosh!). That's Andrew Arbuckle facing Sean Hamilton ("Speedbag") in the front. I think that Gorsebrook staffer is wondering if he can eat what's in his hand. =)
