Camp Cookie Makes Something Really Good

Born with his Voyageur's hat on and ready to paddle.













In time honored tradition, a Geburtstagbrau was brewed in his honor.



This is the King Arthur IPA, which should be ready for raising a toast in mid-March so watch for a meeting. The inset is Bosco's brewmeister Fred Scheer checking the specific gravity on the K.A. IPA.

Swag Money

All you jessies who got a hat and ate dinner at Mike's need to send me fifty bucks. I'll make sure Mike gets paid and you get access to a lifetime supply of orange koozies.

Greetings From Las Vegas, Nevada

What can you say about a night like that?
















There were three club members at the show.

Three starlets in Panty Raid...

















And El Vez does weddings:

El Vez in Music City!

We're calling a mandatory club meeting tomorrow.
























Tomorrow night (Saturday) the smartest, hardest-rocking latino revolutionary Elvis impersonator anywhere is going to be in Nashville to perform and emcee at Katy K's Valentine Girlesque Revue at Mercy Lounge. How many other recording artists (excluding a certain RRCC recording artist) wear red-white-and-green jump suits with a sequined Virgin of Guadalupe on the back? And of those, how many make burn-down-the-barn rocking political commentary with a medley of The Battle Hymn of the Republic, Jesus Christ Superstar, Low Rider, Maggie May and Losing My Religion? Not many and we're going.

We will meet at 8:30 p.m. at Brown's and go from there. Last year the RRCC was going all the way to Atlanta to see him, but they cancelled the show. According to his tour information, the only announced dates are in California, Vancouver and one night in Nashville. Just pray that he's bringing the Elvettes with him . . .




















Priscillita and Lisa Maria























Gladysita






















Que Linda Thompson


This performance is only one part of a much bigger show. It appears that we will have to sit through a few burlesque strip tease shows while we wait for El Vez.







































And….world's collide! Here is R.L. Burnside himself in an Elvette sandwich. Can you believe it?

Brown's at 8:30 pm. Then to Mercy Lounge.

Schleicherlaufen

The groundhog did see his shadow which is supposed to mean a longer winter. But it's a myth - like Rod Stewart doing a whole soccer team, or Weapons of Mass Destruction.













We think winter is going to end early and it's time to get the paddling gear ready and make other preparations.



In Telfs, Austria, "Wild Men" wear suits of tree lichen during Schleicherlaufen, a festival that celebrates winter's end.

Each RRCC member is responsible for gathering enough lichen for his own suit and finding a face gourd they like before the festival (date and place TBA). Also, we need to do an accounting for the hats, koozies and Mike's shish kabbos. I'll post the totals here.

From the Sports Desk

RRCC members took the lucky radio from the canoe trip to The Greenhouse Bar last night to listen to the Vandy - UT game. Score: 69 - 62 Big Orange. Free throw attempts: 32 - 5 Big Orange. Josh accidentally sent CJ Lofton to the line trying to get a drink at the bar.




















That's ok, we're a football school anyway.
