My Kind of People!!

Any group that advocates the Lionel Richie Drinking Game, helps people out, and loves Jesus (not necessarily in that order) is all right with me.

By the way, good call, Tom Cheely!! (I asked about people he already knew in Tempe/Phoenix, and he recommended these guys. Actually, he recommended Scott Brown, but Scott's their fearless leader.) Anyway, he was right on the money!! They've got all the makings for some people I could really dig being around...

Of course, I haven't actually met any of these people yet (they're in Tempe), BUT here's what I've dug up so far between the website and their Facebook page:

"After a year's hiatus, Lazy Monday is back and better than ever. Chez Steve will man the grill. Great food, drinks, great community, swimming, poker, dogs, Guitar Hero, music"

"Rhys and I will come up after our nap... and I'm bringing all the beer from my fridge, so prepare to drink up!"

"I had severe LOST [apparently they have weekly LOST parties (you know, the TV show)] withdrawals this weekend in the form of uncontrollable sweating, bouts of rage, and an unusual craving for coconuts!!!" (Court, this is reason #24 to come visit me in Tempe)

Other great group festivities:

One lady was keeping ziploc bags of water and food in her car to give to the homeless, and now the whole group's doing this "Meals in Wheels" thing where they pack up bottled water, granola, apple sauce, peanuts, raisins, chapstick, gum, and pretty much anything that won't melt, and they all keep the bags in their cars to give to people who might need it.

A group of these folks in the Valley got together and worked on this elderly lady's home, painting it and doing some minor repairs. Some of the photos show up on the web site.

And, perhaps the best of all... the aforementioned Lionel Richie Drinking Game, which rightly deserves its own separate post. Stay tuned for this. It's way too good to miss whether you're on or off the wagon (Seinfeld, anyone?).
