okay, I know this really has nothing to do with anyone except Peter Thompson, and I have no better way of reaching him.  But I remember this fourth of July he prepared amazing Tuna steaks for us. I was curious if anyone knows the recipe for the mystery rub.

I’m in the Twin Cities, hanging with the B’boys and Joelio. It’s be totally awesome and it feels like I’ve been here for a week but it’s only been 2 days. Crazy! Also I finished my community service with Mrs. Cain and it was a lot of fun to catch up with her, plus I love filing!

In other news on sunday we had our best night at pubquiz we ever had. going into the last round we had 205 points out of a possible 235. We were way ahead of everyone else. Of course we still had to go all in on the final round and we got the question wrong AGAIN and lost. Anyways I’m not going to Japan until we win one of those, but I gotta feeling next week is going to be the one.

I need to think of something cool to rival ben’s pictures and bill’s (and now emma’s) artwork. I don’t know what it is yet, but when I figure it out you’ll be the first to know. Here’s an idea

LET’S LEARN JAPANESE!:
Consumer Whore Edition

Sutaru (Verb pronounced “Sue-Tah-Rue”)- To go to Starbucks.

Makusuru (Verb pronounced “Ma-Ku-Sue-Rue”)- To go to McDonald’s.

Hopefully they’ll get even cooler when I’m in japan and can hear the cool lingo on the street.

Stuff that has happened since I’ve been here:

Beat the last song on guitar hero. YES!

Saw little miss sunshine, which was my favorite movie i saw this summer.

Met a bunch of Mcadians who were awesome including SHAMBOT’s own evan and emma.

Due to community service requirements, I will not be going to Minneapolis this sunday. I will, however, go there Sunday the 27th. Sorry, but I really need to get this done and finding something was really hard and I finally found something that works! If the 27th is a totally bad time let me know guys!

Hi. I’m Patrick. Nice to meet you. Welcome to my party. I go to Grinnell but am taking a semester off to go to Tokyo and study at Waseda. It should be a good time but I’m not really sure what I’ll be doing there. However it should lead to interesting posts and pictures. I am a physics major, however, don’t let that throw you for a loop, I’m pretty much into the same thing as everyone else here. However I like physics and for the most part it’s pretty easy for me. I don’t really know a lot of you MCADians but I hope to meet you next week as I am planning a trip there Sunday.

Fast Facts:
Once threw up at the French bakery at the Epcott center after eating a chocolate croussaint.

Slipped on a dead fish which led to a big scar on my left leg.

I have got 19 5 stars completions of expert songs on Guitar hero (it makes me sad to say the last one).

I thought I would christen Shambot with it’s first post by Pattrok RumbleB. Okay first of all Sam’s 21st birthday was a night of bad decisions by most. I even remember us toasting to bad decisions. I stayed up to 3 or 4 then got up with a killer combo of hangover/sleep deprivation, but it was gone in like 2-3 hours and I got on with the rest of my day by taking a nap. Needless to say I really don’t feel the need to drink for awhile, but I am looking forward to my 21st. Also here’s the gameplan before I go to Japan. Hopefully make it up to see the MCADians on the 20th-23rd, then Go to hang out at grinnell the 27th-30th. Beyond that I don’t have any idea. Am I the only one who still wants to film petbusters? I gotta go to work now though.

all I can say is SHAMBOT!
