Talking to Andy on the phone...

Boh

Hey guys, great season! Thanks a bunch to everybody for your friendship this year! It hasn't really hit me yet that we're done. I'll probably just gradually deteriorate to a vegatable from the lack of drumline. I'll write up a big farewell post eventually.

I think we need to quickly get a list of memories going here, tour is a dream that fades quickly... Hey! I'd like to see one or two of those pictionary telephone sentence things on here :).

Let me relate a short anecdote: In the thick of tour, Preston came trotting into our room and asked me if he had a protrusion. He displayed the profile of his bare torso and I confirmed that yes, he has a small protrusion. I then mentioned that he probably has some carnie blood in him. "What's a carnie?" he asked. "WHAT'S A CARNIE?!?!?" I fear that we have failed in some way to pass on the unseen nature of our drumline's power, so here ya go Preston, for your curiosity's satisfaction:
