True Story: I'm finishing up my last day of work and I hear all of my co-workers in the far back laughing hysterically over some video they found on the Internet. An hour later my co-worker calls me over and says that I have to see this video. As soon as I see it I'm laughing so hard because it turns out to be our good friend Ari. I'm all explaining to my co-workers how he was trained very well in the International Dorm at College Park... which is where he tuned his Racism. This picture is from that video called Beaner. Basically Ari did a coulple of skits called the "Amazing Racist" which were filmed for the DVD "National Lampoon Presents Lost Reality". The DVD came out in 2004. A Part II was released in 2005.

Just finally getting around to posting some more pictures from Roland and Cindy's BBQ a couple of weeks back. Small album, but enjoy nonetheless.
Oh my word...were we ever this young. I swear we look like 12 years old in all of these pictures. For those wondering when and where DABU started...it started in 1995 in the International Dorm at the University of Maryland, College Park. Go Terps! Lou posted pictures up on his website The Peru Times and you can view the Old Skool album here. Suzy's Site also has the following albums: Dabu Daze Pt. 1 and Dabu Daze Pt. 2. Check them out, post comments and/or more captions!

Just a reminder that our good friend Jason Price is transfering to webMethods California. There's a farewell BBQ for him on Saturday, August 6th at DABU Castle. What's with all these people leaving the DC area?? Well, the good thing about spreading out DABU is that we have so many places to visit now.
Plenty of Bubba Burgers left over from last weekends party, so come hungry!

The first DABU Resort area party. My first night here we (Tom, Chris, and myself) decided to check out the locals. Every tuesday night they have a big thing going on at the Hyde Park club. This is the same place we tried to go for Jhason's bachelor party weekend but they wouldn't allow us in as a bachelor party unless we called ahead of time. It was a lot of fun. We got there at 1030 and it was sorta dead...but by about 11PM they quickly just started rolling in and the place was packed. We met so many people which was cool. A couple of people we discovered had just moved there recently (one girl from New Jersey and then some guy from DC as well). The guy from DC told me about this website he started at http://joinmehere.com. It's pretty interesting. Originally he had started two websites...GeorgetownParty.com and TampaSocial.com. Just recently both of those sites merged to become joinmehere.com. Basically a site to network and meet new people from both the DC area and the Tampa area at the local clubs and such. Apparently wednesday nights there's a big thing going on at the Green Iguana. Have no idea where that is. Chris and I got pretty crazy but were having fun meeting the locals so may hit Iguana tonight.

Thought I'd share these photos with the gang. I've been packing for the past couple of weeks, preparing for my trip to Florida... and came across photos that were almost 10 years old. Can you believe that? That's how old D.A.B.U. is basically! -B.A.

Roland and Cindy's BBQ was a major hit! It was a long drive but well worth it. We want to thank them again for being wonderful hosts and having us over. You guys have an amazing home.

Jhason and Virginie also posted pictures up on snapfish and can be viewed here
