Bullets · Are · Gonna · Burn...

The Harvey cast party was - if I may be so bold - legendary.  The party started out as could be expected of any Lenape-production long-guest-list affair, having all sorts of lovely decorations that were put up without my knowledge, there were activities such as karaoke, dancing and good conversation.  There was Apples to Apples and Stewarts Fountain drinks, and most of the population went home sated and very pleased with the evening's events.

And then there was the sleepover.

Let me paint the picture for you: it's 2:30 AM Sunday morning and five guys and two girls have decided to spend the night at my house because it's too late to drive home.  The girls are sleeping on an Aerobed in my room upstairs and the boys are left to their own devices in the basement.

Let me repeat that for full dramatic effect: left to their own devices.

The girls and I are upstairs and trying to fall asleep when I casually mention that the odds are 2:1 that the boys will raid us in the middle of the night for some silly reason.  To head them off at the pass, we decide to call them.  The conversation went as thus:

Michelle:  "Hey, whatcha doin'?"

Boy:  "Can't talk.  Busy.  See you in the morning."

***dial tone***

The hell?  What at three AM could this mishmash of high school and college boys be doing in my basement?  We settle down, my having to work in the morning and so having to get at least a couple hours of sleep inhibiting us going down to see for ourselves. 

I wake up around 7:30 the next morning and stumble down to the basement.  What I beheld has secured the number-one slot on my list of Awesomeness and will probably hold the record at least until the Anything Goes cast party:

A giant blanket fort.

Apparently, our dear boys spend all night - or morning, as it were - building this massive fort o' blankets.  It dominated 75% of my basement.  It was held together by anything they could find, including most of their clothes.  One boy was apparently wearing only boxers at one point because the rest of his apparel had gone towards tying ends down.

You can read more about it here. 

Now I'm all excited for Anything Goes.  If this goes down again, they say Fort V.2 will conquer the first floor.
