And, truth be told, I was a little kidding about IHOP but we started writing our anthem this weekend...over pancakes. Bryan: I’ll be the first in line for your pancake breakfast.

We are in the process of doing our 501(c)(3) non-profit application right now and planning for our first big event at the beginning of 2009. Maybe once we get big enough we can find one of these club builds and get our funny hats!

One time I snuck down to the gym and shot hoops. I recall there being an elevated track above the rickety old court and some various ancient weight lifting equipment lying around - did you get any pictures of that area? That was almost 10 years ago and it looked as if no one had been down there in 50 years. I'm sure they incorporated the medicine ball into nearly every exercise back in the day. Kind of sad that all of the old clubs are fading away. I guess people are a bit more solitary nowadays thanks to the internets and whatnot. Even the private golf clubs are far less socially involved, so I hear. I used to work in this building at a creative firm called Merwin Creative. One time I snuck down to the gym and shot hoops.

I've always wanted to start my own social organization, a la the Oddfellows, a la the Shriners. For one thing, you'd probably get a neat hat out of the deal. You also help your community, sure, but you get neat hats and put on pancake breakfasts a lot for good causes. Pancakes, hats, doing good - it's a great thing! That said, my buddy and I have started noodling around with creating a new social organization called IHOP. IHOP - International Helpers of People. So far we've got, uh, two members, but undoubtedly more will come, those with like minded interests in pancakes, and helping people, and wearing hats. You know what?
