Earthquake Competition

Sometimes we look at the things we've done and we just don't understand why we did it. In this case, it's the Ghirardelli's Earthquake challenge this past Friday: my car (Allen, David Y., Mindy, and Hannah) against Jenny's car (Brandon C., Brian, Andy, Tabby, and Melody). Here's my video. Pay special attention to the MVP. I excerpted several incredible feats, never before seen on the world wide web.


2008-10-03 H.1 Ghirardelli's trip from kevan on Vimeo.

Yes, my car, ultimately came out the victor. There was heavy disqualification because the other team had an extra player on the field, and also left a whole tub of chocolate fudge untouched. It was abominable that they were trying to get away with claiming the win. Really, that's just too much.

The whole gangThe context surrounding all this is that some people went to go study after Koinonia's "This Is Your Life," but the rest of us went to Ghirardelli's in SF. We did do civilized things like take pictures in the chocolate shop (after pilfering their shelves for photo filler material). And then we took some more pictures (braving the rain to do so) at Treasure Island. We had a really good time and wish you could've joined us!

At Treasure IslandI think this upcoming week's after-This Is Your Life" activity has something to do with hanging out together to laugh, talk, and catch up. No field trips to SF or bowling alleys or mini golf courses (those are for later!). We also need to practice a song since we're going as a homegroup to visit a Convalescent Home this Sunday (10/12) and spend time with the elderly. You can ask Caroline for more information.

Anyway, as always, there's more pictures online. See you guys soon.
(Update 10 AM, 10/8: video uploaded to Vimeo where the quality's better!)

this is travesty! this is testament to the fact that truth is NOT up interpretation. we don't live in a post-modern world -- there was a clear winner and sorry it wasn't you guys... right guys? Andy didn't take huge bites for nothing. :)

next time you want a real challenge, just give me a call =).

By declaring you're the winner of the ice cream challenge, you're also declaring that you're a pig, since finishing a Ghirardelli earthquake is the epitome of pigginess.

Actually, the Fenton's challenge is bigger than the Earthquake and Mike K. ate it by himself... in 6 minutes. I'll leave it up to you to call it what it deserves to be called.
