Hot Dog Cookout

Last Friday, members of the team sold hot dogs in an attempt to shore up our budget for the year. I was joined by Faye, Hannah, Axie, and briefly by Josh and Adam. At noon, we parked our borrowed grill next to the sidewalk south of Tech and began catering to the starving hordes of pre-exam week engineers. As one of the first beautiful days in an unusually cool summer, it was the perfect day for a barbeque.

I consider the event a success; not only because we broke even (and then some) but foremost because a good time was apparently had by all. Throughout the three hours that we were in business, volleyballs were lofted and footballs were tossed in the grass behind our table, we were visited by hungry friends (some even clad in hot dog suits), and sales jingles of debatable effectiveness and artistic merit were formulated. Finally, we promoted the presence of the cycling team on campus; many of our patrons weren't aware of our existence beforehand, but all were enthused by it. I'm confident that this is something that we'll be doing again.
