From the Freezing Depths of Deep Freeze '09

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't take a look around sometimes, you could miss it." -Ferris Bueller.

Ah, the musings of Ferris have rarely seemed more pertinent. Deep Freeze '09 was great, so let's ponder it a moment. No, better than ponder, let's have a look-see. A picture, everyone knows, is worth a thousand words. So here's the photographic equivalent of a couple of Tolstoy novels. Enjoy.

I googled "world's best broom ball squad" and this picture came to the top.

Hard to argue with Google.

Tempest points the way to Jesus, who points the way to a boy who looks too young to steer a ship in such inclement weather.

Derek says thumbs up to breakfast.

Jackie, wonder-struck by the sheer beauty that is sub-zero windchill.

David, also struck by the plummeting temperatures, but in a totally different way. Ah, the simple pleasures of being able to actually feel one's toes.

Alex knew the camp food would catch up with him, he just didn't think it would happen so soon after lunch. We are accepting donations for XXXXXXXXXL t-shirts.

Alright, yall. Check the calendar for updates, and note that we're not having any meeting on the 1st of Feb, but we'll definitely be hanging out on the 8th. Also, we're gonna be on the schedule for another Junior Worship, so put some ideas onto some paper and let's brainstorm something fierce.

OK, so you are lost. This page has loaded itself onto your computer screen, but you've got no idea what you're looking at. I can deal with that. Just keep reading.

• First off, the first thing you'll see at room 5 is the "Calendar". This will let you view the events we've got scheduled. If you click on an event -- go ahead, try it -- you will see details of that event, as well as a "Map" option that shows you how to get there. Amazing, right? I know.
• Notice the "Followers" column on the right-hand side of the page, This option is for you. If you click on it, it will show everyone else that you're in the loop, and -- best of all-- it will let you input your email address so that EVERY time ANYTHING gets announced you'll be notified via your email Inbox. (You might want to add this page to your Favorites list, so you can find it lightning-quick next time.)
• Posts are the reason you came to the page. If you're set up with the aforementioned email notification, then you likely want to see some update. The can be found directly beneath the "Calendar" and are arranged from most- to least-recent. If you have thoughts or questions, just click the "Comments" section, located beneath each post.
• Above the "Followers" section is a Web Poll. You don't have to be 18, or even a citizen.
• Beneath the posts is a game. If you don't have a job or friends, this is your dream come true.
• Below the "Followers" section is a playlist of songs. You can sample them at will. Most are newer Christian albums or artists. Get lost in the music, man.

That's about it. Welcome to the 21st Century.

Welcome to room 5

After months of technical tinkering, after countless hours spent arranging 1s and 0s, after failed attempt after failed attempt: it is alive.

This site has everything you need. And if it hasn't got it, then at least it knows what you're talking about. The page's live calendar displays the time, location, and description of all scheduled events.

Posts, such as this one, entertain and inform you of any updates or details you need to know. And maybe some things you don't.

There are pictures, games, a weekly web poll, and a place to post thoughts of your own. You can even receive email updates when something new has been posted. This page does everything but wake you up Sunday morning.

Enjoy.
