The Fall Preview Issue
Here's a rundown of whas-appaning from now until December, and a preview of 2002! Got your calendars? Here we go!
*Thursday, Sept 6th...TNBS at Common Ground
Regular Thursday night bible study is moving to Common Ground! We start at 7pm, and we'll have coffee and loads of caffeine... plus a little from the Word.
*Friday-Saturday, Sept 7th & 8th... CampOut at Oak Mountain
Taking a night in the great wide open! The cost is only $10, plus a measly parking fee, there are still spots available. Meet at Common Ground at 4:30, but they aren't leaving until around 5:30, so you have time to get there! Bring sleeping bags, tents and a can of mixed vegetables! For more info contact Sybil@datacrest.com
*Sunday, Sept 9th... Drama Time at Common Ground
Do you have a hankerin' for the dramatic ministry? We are putting together Common Ground's first drama team, and the interest meeting/audition is Sunday at 6:30 at Common Ground. Bring something to read aloud (poem, monologue, story) and be ready to do a little improv! Auditions held by members of Impact, Valleydale's adult drama team. (Yeah, like, five people showed up. I was one of them)
Gooneis DVD Screening
That's right... If you think the "Goonies R Good Enough", come by The Deuce at 7pm for a special screening of the classic... with everyone from Data, Mouth, Stef, Mikey and of course, Chunk and Sloth. And... the outtakes are here, with THE OCTOPUS SCENE THAT WAS DELETED!!!! So, please, be our guest at The Deuce for this monumental event. (the infamous octopus scene turned out to be a colossal waste, by the way)
*Saturday, Sept 22nd... Coffeehouse with Al Denson
Common Ground holds its third annual fall Coffeehouse, and again Al Denson is returning to our little stage! Derrick Harris (and a mean redition of Smooth Criminal on guitar) is opening up, and we'll have an obligitory open mic time, with snacks, coffee and the works! Make sure you tell people about it, bring your friends, bring people who are looking for somewhere to go! It starts at 7, it ends just whenever!
*Sunday, Sept 23rd... Luncheon with Al
You dont have to get up for 9:40 Life Connection! Worship together at 11 at Valleydale, then head over to "The Jungle" (the first modular behind the church, with the awning) immediately after service for lunch and a mini-concert by Al himself! (I actually got to tell Al Denson that I celebrated his entire collection... then he gave me and Mikey free cds)
*Tuesday, Sept 25th... Caedmon's Call and Steven Curtis Chapman's new albums
"In the Company of Angels", the new cd from CC is released today, as well as "Declaration" by SCC.
*Tuesday, Sept 25th... Campbell's Birthday
Our beloved Steph Campbell turns 25 this day in history, so make sure you give her a greeting. You can reach her at her new job at SLCampbe@southernco.com (whats funny is that she turns 30 in a few weeks..)
*Saturday, Sept 29th... Concerts abound
Caedmon's Call will be at the Oak Mountain Amp, tickets are around 17.00 advanced, its general admission. Point of Grace and FFH will be at the Boutwell Auditorium the same night, tickets are from 15-25, seats reserved. Both concert tickets are available through Ticketmaster.com. Also, dcTalk is appearing at the Boutwell on Friday, October 5th, with Tait (one of the solo acts from dcTalk). Tickets are available through TicketMaster for this one too.
*Sunday, Sept 30... Grabbajava
What does it mean? Well, we don't really know... but its a more coffeehouse'esque version of the old Tuesday Perk. Meet at 7pm at Common Ground, and we'll have some music, some caffeine, some fellowship and some drama (maybe :)... (call me a non-conformist, but I NEVER liked advertising anything called Grabbajava)
*Sometime in October... The Phantom Menace
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is coming to DVD, and we are doing a special screening of it at The Deuce, with Dolby Digital Surround Sound. Date TBA.
*Saturday, October 6th... Breakfast Downtown
Our First Saturday Breakfast takes a trip downtown to a little diner called.... Bogues? Is that right, Earl and Tad? Anyway, keep listening for more details, I heard that the food there is awesome! (I don't think we made it...)
*Sunday, October 7th... The NFL with Wookiee
Wookiee is looking into a Chicago Bears-Atlanta Falcons game on this afternoon, tickets TBA. Its the Bears and Falcons, it can't be that much. Anyway, contact CoachFuly@cs.com for more details.
*Thursday, October 11th... Survivor III
The new tradition returns... TNBS at 7pm, Survivor (but I dont even know her) at The Deuce afterwards!
*Friday, October 12th-14th... Fall Retreat/Conference
This fall's retreat we are heading to Dalton, Georgia (where the heck?) for a conference starring Mercy Me and speaker Voddie Boachum. If you've never heard Voddie, he's a great speaker... for those of you who went to Passion One Day, he's the big black guy who warned against false worship. The cost is $45, which includes room, conference fee, transportation and some meals. Keep watch for more details! (I remember the concert, back before "I Can Only Imagine", but I vaguely remember where we stayed... wait, now I remember Drew had his mack on, pizzas were really expensive to order, and the rooms were connected by a "wall" door)
*Friday, October 19th... Passion Conference
If you aren't familiar with the Passion Conferences, now is good time to start! I believe this one will be in Atlanta, so more info is to come!
*Saturday, October 20th.... DeuceNight, the SemiFormal
Here's the lowdown... the tentative plan is to dress up (suits, nice formal wear), take a great dinner somewhere not-to-expensive-yet-nice, and then take an hour or two of instructions in dance--waltzing, swinging, jitterbugging, fox trotting, whatever, and it should be a great night of Christian fellowship and fun. I am trying to keep the cost down to about $20 per couple or $12-15 per person. Anyway, the details will be coming soon!
*Sunday, October 28th... Its Masquerade Time at CG
Our annual Hallow... wait, October 31st celebration (we're Baptist, we can't say Hallow... uh, yeah). Either we have a little costume gathering such as last year, or we are trying to get a Murder Mystery Hallo... End of October Holiday Party together. Details to come.
*Saturday, November 10th... The Wookout Cookout in Millbrook
Auburn vs. Georgia is that day, and we plan to travel down to Millbrook to visit our hairy friend at his house, to grill out burgers and steaks and watch the game on his big 19" television!
*Saturday, November 17th... Iron Bowl Sybil
Its Auburn/Alabama time, and join The Deuce and Common Ground at Sybil Johnson's house for the game, with food, fellowship, food, football and food!
*December... Graduation time
Jill Berthon gets her diploma from Auburn, Jason Quinn gets his from Alabama... make sure you congratulate them!
*Thursday, December 6th... Final Feast at Sybil's
The first of December every year, Sybil has everyone over for one big phat meal for Christmas, just before everyone goes home for the holidays!
*Thursday, December 20th... Sybil's Christmas Time
For those who can't make the final feast, join us here at Sybil's for another, smaller Christmas Party
*Saturday, December 22nd... Its a Wonderful Deuce Christmas
This year at The Deuce, we'll take a more intimate turn for Christmas... rather than the big band party blowout, we'll have a more toned down approach. There'll be some music, Stephanie Knipp may do a little Christmas stuff, and the Famous Deuce Cafe will be open with all new drinks! (I think this event gave us the infamous Steph Nipp "Santa Baby", where every guy but her brother was practically drooling)
*Saturday, December 29th... Steph turns Twen-Tee-One
No plans yet, but Steph Knipp finally hits the 2-1 age. For those of you wanting to get in touch with her, her address is CNC Box 70218, Jefferson City, TN, 37760. I didn't like the idea of broadcasting her phone number for the world, so if you want it, email her at Snipp2@aol.com
*Monday, December 31st... Sybil's New Years Rockin' Eve
Big New Years Eve Blowout at Sybils. More details to come.
In 2002:
*February 9th... Deuce Date Party 2
*May... Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones
*May... DeuceFestTre
*June 22nd... Matt and Ginger's Wedding
*June 29th... WalkAbout Dinner Theater
The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything
5... College Football. It returned. Aarr aarr arrgh!!! (I felt the same way this past weekend)
4... South Africans. A Saturday with one will enlighten you, I promise (Chantal Els and I hung out all day, including a late night trip to Montgomery to buy Pooh slippers from the Disney Store, before it closed down)
3... Jennifer Capriati. I loved her since we were both 13, so I thought it time to honor her.
2... Tad. He rules. Sarah, do you know him? (the joke: for whatever reason, Tad Roose, new to the group, and Sarah had been introduced like, four times)
1... Daniel Powell. 8-0 in the DFC this week. It won't last, but still, its worthy of mentioning.
Just missed the cut: UCLA, Jennifer Hudson, Popeye's Chicken, Rush Hour 2 and Susan Cooper
The Spotlight Haiku
Its that time of the show when we highlight someone special from the Deuce! Coming this fall, we've got haiku for Melissa H, Mike W, Pritchett, Ken Nipp and many more! But now, after all this time, we shine the spotlight on the Deuce's own silly angel, Sarah Hasha
Silly girl Sarah
Cute, funny, giggly she is
I KNOW!! She's awesome!

Hip Click of the Week
Okay, so in my Goonies search, I found a picture of the Goonies all growed up! Chunk lost a lot of weight, and can I just go on record and say that Andi (Kerri Green) is a hottie? Anyway, here's the shot: www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=9676
New Contest! Name Dave!
In a week, I'll be working with Rob and Shannon on the new morning show on WODL 106.9. I'll be the guy that Casio Kid and Don Juan is to Rick and Bubba... the background guy with comments and such. Anyway, the contest is now to come up with a radio nickname for Dave. Big Brown Booty Daddy and Brown Sexy have already been suggested, and as much as I like being called Booty Daddy, that might not be the moniker I'm need for my radio career. So send your suggestions in to me here at david.dollar@cox.com or tanguy2001@aol.com (it ended up being "superdave", but the big story was that, one day into the internship, 9/11 happened)
