Well, April 2016 will be the 15th anniversary of MM. We probably should do something special this time. By the time the next 5 year milestone comes up, there will be students at JMU who are younger than MM 
hock:
I can think of lots of stories but here's a funny one:
It was maybe 2002 and we had succeeded in convincing a lot of students to come out and flag for NASA at the VIR event in February (already a bad idea). NASA hooked us up with hotel rooms, but at the time the rooms were booked at the Innkeeper North in Danville. It wasn't a totaly shithole but word was a construction worker murdered someone with a hammer there once. I wanna say they screwed up our reservations because we had to fit about 15 people in 2 rooms. Some people slept in chairs, some people slept on top of the dressers, and some lucky people got beds except...
One of the guys (Ed Wotring) had just pulled up the covers and got in the bed, then jumped the fuck out of the bed like he had just laid down in lava. We pulled back the sheets and there was a huge piss stain in the middle of the bed...
That track event was absolutely fucking miserable. About 40 degrees outside and wet. A lot of people never came back out to track event after that one.
That was also the last time we stayed at Innkeeper North, but later, we'd have some good times at Innkeeper South.
