Summer was ending, and Dan, Lew, Jacob, Jay, and Jason had decided to throw a welcome back to BG soiree for all of us who were unfortunate enough to spend their summers at home. The guys had recently moved into a kickass townhouse complex molded especially for college partying; cheaply built, low rent, and a couple hundred students cramped into units. It was anyone wanting a good time with a lower chance of getting in trouble's dream. But I digress.
The night was fairly laid back, and before everyone started showing up, Dan, Jason, Lew, Tim, Barb, and I were playing a laid back round of Hold'Em...kicking back with beer (for those over 21 of course), and goofing around. Everyone else was hanging around watching t.v., etc.
Before the real festivities started,a prodigal friend dropped in. Alex was his name, and the year before he was deep in our fold of infamy, then he found God and became a born-again Christian. In his mind that meant that he was to cast our friendships aside for more God-fearing individuals; needless to say his dropping in was a surprise. As he made his entrance, finding us gambling, drinking, swearing, and continuing our usual dirty conversations about sex, porn, the Pokey on a Cross (yes, a stuffed Pokey doll mounted on a wooden cross on the wall; we didn't claim to be good people here). He bellowed, Hey guys! How is everyone doing here in this denizen of sin. Meant as an insult, we all kept our mouths shut during this brief visit from our newly made christian friend who made continued insults to our ungodly lifestyles (which insulted some of us who were raised in strict christian homes), this meant that the moment he left; Lew and I began to vent, and poke fun at the insults. (We are horrible people when around one another) We started to joke about how he called us a denizen of sinners, and then we said we were more like a Village...The Village of Sin?? I then went and made a Big Ass Cardboard Sign that said "Welcome to the Village of Sin", complete with flames, and stick figures of people burning...and there began our two year stint at #60 C.H....otherwise known as The Village of Sin
