Time to honor our leadership!

If you'd like to help in this dinner, please contact Sybil@data.com or The Crosby Show at Josh.Crosby@wnt.com. You can only come if you plan to help out!
*Friday, August 3rd... Chick Night at S'Nipps
Its a ol' Fashioned Slumber Party at the home of Steph Nipp. If you possess the ability to apply makeup doing 70 on 280 or cry at sad commercials, and you are a chick, this night is for you! This is a great way to get closer to some of the girls in the group! Contact Steph at Snip12@aol.com or Merdi at mquintana@lnk.net for more details and directions.
*Friday, August 3rd... Guys Night at The Deuce
The same night the chicks are painting their toenails and talking about boys, the guys are invited to The Deuce for a real life guys event. Bring a couple of bucks for pizza, and we'll celebrate our Guydom. On tap... games of Risk, Tetris and The Negotiator in surround sound Dolby/Nipp stereo.
*Saturday, August 4th... StephStock
Our salute and goodbye to the Deuce First Lady, Stephanie Knipp. She's heading to Carson Newman in about three weeks, and we want to show our love and appreciation for her. We are partying at Meredith Quintana's home in Chelsea. I'll give you some directions on the Weekend Update. Factor 7 is coming in to play a little on our makeshift stage, and there will be snacks and drinks and such. Time to start is around 6pm, don't forget to RSVP and let me know you'll be there!
*Tuesday, August 7th... Who Wants to Be A CG Smart Guy?
Tuesday Perk at Common Ground includes a special Sean Hall induced game of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, with questions, power point and everything...
*Thursday, August 9th... The Princess Diaries
Instead of TNBS at Sybil's, we will meet at Common Ground at 6:15 and head to the Summit for the 7pm showing of "The Princess Diaries". Its rated G, Ty, so you can watch it. Anyway, it looks really cute... so come join us!
*Friday, August 10th... Dave's Birthday Weekend
There is a group headed to Atlanta on Friday, August 10th (I wonder who's birthday that is?), and coming back early Sunday morning for church. This is the last big bash of the summer for The Deuce! We'll be staying at the new home of Emily, so bring money for food and such. For more info, contact me at tanguy201@aol.com or eldridge@yahoo.com
*Saturday, August 25th... Nightlife 2001 at Valleydale
An annual youth event where tons of kids are led to Christ! This year, the concert/rally will be held at Valleydale, and we never have enough counselors for the youth! To volunteer to help, email Sybil@data.com.
*Monday, August 27th... Grease at The Alabama Theater
Its the word. Its got groove, its got meaning. Its the time, the place, the emotion, its the way we are feeling. :) More info to come.
*Saturday, September 1st... The Deuce Football Championships
Thats right... its back! What is the DFC? Well, its our little college and pro football prognostication game. Each week, we pick the winners of 4 college and 4 pro games, and we keep a tally of the standings over 13 weeks. The top players go into the playoffs, and one person is awarded the Brook DeRamus Championship Plate, signifying them as the best there is, was and will be. Shawn Sharp won it all last year, and he's bragging pretty heavy so far. We dont play for money... the trash talk is payment enough, believe me. Sign up anytime between now and the end of August. It costs no money to play, but put your pride on the shelf!

Top Ten Christian CDs of All Time
as voted on by you, the DW readers
Here are some of Campbell's faves: "Maze of Grace" and "In a Different Light" by Avalon, "Lead Me On" by Amy Grant, "i2(Eye)" by Michael W. Smith, "Pure and Simple" by Geoff Moore and the Distance and "Greatest" by Steve Camp.
Number 10 - Craig's Brother, "Homecoming"
Number 9 - Third Day, "Third Day"
Number 8 - Nichole Nordeman, "Wide Eyed"
Number 7 - Caedmon's Call, "Caedmon's Call"
Number 6 - Nichole Nordeman, "This Mystery"
Number 5 - dcTalk, "Jesus Freak"
Number 4 - OC Supertones, "The Supertones Strike Back"
Number Three... Jars of Clay's "Jars of Clay"
In 1995, four guys released their self titled debut album called "Jars of Clay", taken from the 1 Corinthians passage. In the next year, they would see their album go double platinum, see one of their songs play on rock stations and MTV and tour with the likes of dcTalk. Jars of Clay's cd is one of the milestones of the CCM explosion of the 1990s, with fresh lyrics and inventive styles. Released from then-small independant label Essential, it opens with the catchy chants of "Liquid" and takes you through a worship experience. You get to worship with "Love Song for a Savior", pop with "Boy on a String" and move that head with "Flood", perhaps their most known song outside of the CCM culture.
Says Steve Mason, "We didn't know where God would take us, but we knew when it hit the charts on Billboard, that He had something big in store for our ministry." Never one to be shy about opinions, Mason answered the big 'selling' out question by saying, "People take shots at us because we would rather play in bars than churches, but you know, any time the Word and the world meet, there will be sparks... We just want to do as Jesus would do, and go out into the world spreading His message."
Any definitive collection of Christian music would have this album as a part of it.
Hip Click of the Week
Ever wonder who is singing on your favorite commercials? You can probably find out here! http://www.geocities.com/chenrich/Commercials/Commercials1.html
Pud of the Week:
Your way of knowing there is always someone more goofy than you
So, the Jacksons are reuniting this fall... but it won't be five, it will be four. No, Michael isn't holding out--he'll be there. But who's not coming? Jermaine. Jermaine is apparently upset at the up-to-$2500 ticket prices being charged for this one time only concert. And of course, ticket sales will go down considerably because Jermaine Jackson isn't coming, right? But I'm sure they'll pick up again when LaToya signs on to appear.
