The canopy "mishap" - Javan

Driving up Saturday morning and seeing the canopy get it's lean on was a bit depressing. As always, we tuned the tragedy into some light hearted fun. Seth was the last one to show up that morning. We discussed how to break the news to him. Many of us thought we should come right out and tell him. James' advise was to avoid it altogether. It was funny hearing everyone's spin. When Seth showed up, I felt it my duty as his big brother to tell it to him straight. To my surprise, he didn't believe me or anyone else that was backing me up. That in itself was hilarious because nothing we said could convince him that his canopy actually got drop kicked from the top rope and then finished off with a pile driver. I was amazed that Jake and the boys were able to put it back together into something that resembled a canopy. We looked around the parking lot and there were at least 5 canopy's that were destroyed. In the face of this evidence, Seth was still in denial. It wasn't until the voice of reason, Mr. Jace Wade, did Seth finally face the music. Sometimes the reasoning of a child can be sobering. I'll never forget Seth's face when he realized we weren't pulling his leg. Priceless! He entered the canopy and I zipped the door behind him. We gave him a few moments to himself and we on the outside, had a moment of silence. When he emerged, he was shockingly composed. He took it much better than I did when my canopy got crippled a few years earlier. Or at least he didn't let his disappointment show. Like true black folk, he and a few others began figuring out a way to salvage what was left. While others in the parking lot just kicked their crumpled canopy's into a trash heap, Seth, Josiah, Micah, James, King Nappy and several others began figuring out ways to make the necessary repairs. Surprisingly they came up with a fix and the story had a happy ending.

I won't soon forget Seth giving a new and literal meaning to the phrase "butt crack of dawn". That boy ain't right. He yelled at me from the stairway and said I had dropped something. As I peered around the corner it became apparent that he got me again.

"The blowup" - Josiah

The epic "blow up" that the Schott got when Seth and I visited the men's restroom behind section 302 will go down as the greatest destruction of any sanitation system in Columbus, OH and quite possibly all of North America. I only feel bad for the poor souls that had to tend to the maintenance after we left...they are without a doubt scarred for life.
