THE SUMMER PREVIEW ISSUE
In this issue, which is longer than most, so be warned, the editors of DW have decided to give you a preview of all the major events coming up between now and September. Also, we begin our series of Spotlight Haiku on the Deuce members, plus Dave’s Top Ten Summer Predictions. Without ado, I give you the first annual Deuce Weekly Summer Preview… (as I re-read this issue, I laughed numerous times... was this really five years ago??)
Coming Up:
TONIGHT, SOFTBALL AND PROJECT 86…
Tonight at Herdmont Park, Common Ground is playing a wacky game of softball for anyone with any talents whatsoever. Meet at 5:30 at The Deuce to carpool, or come out to the park, off of 119, around 6:15-6:30 to play. More info? Email Sybil@datacrest.com
Also, Project 86, Living Sacrifice and Stavesacre will be in concert at Five Points Music Hall tonight. For more details of times and such, contact Michael at nubjubjr@aol.com
THURSDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY…
Just a reminder, this Thursday at 6:30, our weekly entrance into the presence of God via Sybil’s house. For more details, see the above email.
PEARL HARBOR ON FRIDAY…
The Deuce will be going as a group to see Pearl Harbor this Friday, May 25th, probably to the late show. Don’t be foolish and show up at 9 to get a 9:30 ticket… it will be sold out, I promise. Bring your $7.50 to me during TNBS or this week sometime and I will go during lunch on Friday and get a ticket. Bring the amount needed or be ready to sacrifice 50 cents because I probably wont have change. First come, first serve, and absolutely no “get me a ticket and I will give you money on Friday night”. If you are planning on getting your ticket on Friday on your own, email me that day to find out the time that everyone will be going to…
MIDNIGHT BREAKFAST, FRIDAY, JUNE 8th...
For 2 bucks each from midnight to 1am, come to The Deuce and enjoy the tastes of The Crosby Show and Dave’s Pancakes and Waffles, this time with a much more extensive menu than last. We pulled in 35 people last time… lets shoot for 40! Doors open at 10:30, Coke, water, milk and OJ provided, coffee bar opened at 1am.
WALKABOUT: ON HOLY GROUND DINNER THEATER, JUNE 29th AND 30th
Besides Common Ground, The Deuce and Ashley Judd, my other obsession lies with the middle school drama team I direct. This is the 2nd annual dinner theater that we are putting on, and I hope to see all of you there. Tickets will be about $5 apiece, for dinner. If you only wish to see the show, that will be free! Times TBA.
DEUCEFESTDEUCE… SATURDAY JULY 7th…
Simply the biggest party you will find at Rollingwood on July 7th, I promise you! Our plan is a shrimp and crawfish boil, cooked by the hands of Vic and Ken Nipp. In the Deuce Café we’ll be serving up the coffee and ice cream. Cost is $5.00 per person, cheaper than an afternoon movie, for all you can eat, all you can handle.
In concert… The Mix of DJ Phrenzy… Ashley O’Neal… Justin Glenn… Stephanie Knipp… Dave the Drama Guy.. Drew Morris and Friends… and our newest game, The Deuce Weakest Link, one prize, one winner… now can you dig that? (So, I don't think we played Weakest Link... I can't remember what we did--perhaps Deucenaire again?)
LE PERC at COMMON GROUND, SATURDAY, JULY 14th…
Common Ground takes on a French Café appeal as we hold a great coffeehouse night. Come for music, poetry, song, dance and great food and coffee. Times TBA.
SO LONG STEPH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4th
Stephanie Knipp is our Deuce First Lady, and we love her so. Sadly, she is leaving us in the fall to go away to school, but we are excited about the new direction God is taking her in. So, make plans to join us at The Deuce as we say goodbye (for now) to our beloved First Lady, the original Deuce Diva. You’ll hear more about this in weeks to come, and in the July 30th DW, the Steph Knipp Edition (this event is soon to be called StephStock, and the DW Stephanie Tribute Issue comes the first week of August)
THE DFC II BEGINS, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1st
The DFC? The Deuce Football Championships… before you laugh, just know that the DFC is open to anyone and is a rigorous 15 week season of football pickings and choosings, predictions, surprises and excitement. Anyone outside of the DFC can tell you how obnoxious it was… and anyone inside the DFC can tell you how awesome it was. Shawn Sharp was a wire-to-wire number 1 last season… and he thinks he’ll do it again. Oh, and DeRamus has already issued a challenge to all. (by the way, I'm taking some time to do major work on The DFC blogsite--I really want to put up everything, so watch for that)
Stuff to take note of Coming Soon:
*June 10th, Sunday… Life Connection at Valleydale begins our study on Song of Solomon… great for singles, all about the Lord of life, love and other mysteries. (PoG reference intended)
*June 15th, Friday, Ecclesia Church downtown is hosting Travail in concert.
*June 16th, Saturday… Watermark in concert, Kindred Bookstore
*June 20th-23rd… AtlantaFest in Atlanta, Georgia. Contact Michael for more info.
*July 20th-21st… Youth Evangelism Conference with Salvador, LaRue and Becca St James in concert.
*August 4th… Furnace Fest at Sloss Furnace
*August 7th… N’Sync in concert
In the Fall and Beyond
*September… Survivor III kicks off from Kenya, Africa
*October 20th… DeuceNight, our first semi-formal
*December… Jill takes her diploma from Auburn U!
*December 22nd… It’s a Wonderful Deuce Christmas
*February 2002… Deuce Date Party II
*Summer 2002… Matt and Ginger get hitched.
The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything
5… Run DMC. I didn’t go, but I heard enough good things about it to warrant a ranking.
4… Amy Wible’s graduation cake. It looked okay, but it was so freakin’ good to eat.
3… Shrek. Good movie. I personally think Eddie Murphy steals the show.
2… Steph Knipp’s simply groovy new haircut.
1… Silvertron Café. This little café in Clairmont, being led to it by Jimmy, was awesome. They had cheese logs… not cheese sticks, but cheese logs. (I took a date to this place once. It was nice. The owner was recently shot and killed. Very sad)
The Spotlight Haiku
On deck for their own Spotlight Haiku this summer are Osborne, Sarah Hasha, Jodi Nelson, Earl Salser and many more… However, since we are approaching June, the one year anniversary of The Deuce is upon us… so, its fitting that June is declared Deuce History Month! In the next few weeks, we are going to spotlight Tom, Michael, Malcolm, Fisher and The Deuce in a special series of haiku.
This week… The Haiku goes to Shawn, written for us by our friend Leslie Cordell.
Shawn, such a hottie
All women wish to be his,
Yet all get the shaft.
If I Could Be Serious For A Minute…
Hey, if you think about it this week, say a prayer for Ginger in Chile, Matt who’s going to Belize, Ross in California, Rachelle in Russia and Nathan in New Zealand. Pray for safe travel, pray for God’s hand… and though all of these trips aren’t necessarily mission trips, anytime we are around non-Christians, it’s a mission trip. (nothing's changed, really... at least for Matt & Ginger)
This Week’s Top Ten List
Dave’s Top Ten Summer Predictions
10… Dave forgets what he’s doing in June and puts out a top ten list that has no reference whatsoever to the hit motion picture “Black Dog”.
9… Frustrated with trying to get into Samford, Michael Nipp turns to Montevallo… where he doesn’t become a student, he becomes a night professor, teaching the new class “The Films of Will Patton.”
8… The full moon in August causes a strange happening, as in one single evening, Vic passes up free ribs, Sean Hall decides he’s too tired to pray and Drew Morris plays Jewel… for four hours.
7… Common Ground is shocked, though editors at DW weren’t surprised, when Jennifer Pritchett is arrested in August for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Bombing. Apparently her quiet spirit front could only hold off the FBI for so long, as they soon discover her two alias names: Eric Rudolph and Joey Buttafuaco.
6… In June, David Mark Osborne is kicked out of Factor 7 for sharing his plans for the band to do a Yanni tribute album. Osborne joins with Tom Johnson and they form the duo “Ex Facto 7”.
5… Extracting revenge, Malcolm sneaks out in the middle of a hot June night and eats a sleeping Wookiee, leaving only a four pound hairball. Tom is upset only until he realizes there is a whole week he doesn’t have to feed Malcolm.
4.. Fed up with the way things are run in Samford’s SGA, Ty Coffey organizes a coup of the government in August, putting himself in power, with a new system of government… Ty-talitarianism. (Man, I thought this was one of the funniest things I'd ever written... no one else laughed)
3… After hearing her sing at DeuceFestDeuce, a talent scout tells Jennifer Knapp about Steph’s voice. So impressed is Jennifer that, in an effort to be more like Steph, she cuts her long hair and then drops the “K” from her name to become Jennifer Napp.
2… Playing Tetris one fateful day in July, Tommy achieves 16,428 lines in a sprint game. A mere ten seconds later, Tommy’s head blows up from overload. Michael is happy there is scotchguard on the couch to prevent stains.
1… In June, Sarah wins a million dollars in a McDonald’s contest, and we all spend a week in Tahiti.
Be a Part…
After resisting, I’ve been urged to put all call out for another haiku. We’ve done Tom, Michael, Shawn, Fisher and Malcolm… now, I guess it’s my turn. Send me your best Dave Dollar haiku and we’ll make sure it gets printed in June! Remember, a haiku is three lines, with five syllables in the first and third line, and seven in the middle line.
The First Ever DW Poll…
Response has been really good, I’m happy to say. One more week to left.. we are asking for ALL TIME FAVORITE CHRISTIAN CDs… YOUR TOP FIVE, or YOUR TOP TEN. The countdown begins in 2 weeks!
Removal…
