One o-clock, two o-clock, three o-clock rock!
Four o-clock, five o-clock, six o-clock rock!
Seven o-clock, eight o-clock, nine o-clock rock!
Ten o-clock, eleven o-clock, MIDNIGHT!

I, along with my brothers and most of the kids in my neighborhood, were pretty intense Ghost in the Graveyard players when we were younger. We would meet in somebody’s backyard as soon as it got dark, designate a “base” and the game boundaries, and then begin our game. The game usually didn’t last too long because an argument would errupt or our bedtimes would cause our parents to call us home.

Nonetheless, it was always a fun time.

As I got older, I began going to an overnight summer camp. At least one of the four nights we were there, the counselors would plan a game of Capture the Flag. The camp took place on a small college campus. Counselors would designate boundaries and teams and then supervise as the game was going on. This game definitely had more room than a few backyards and more people than a few neighborhood friends and siblings like we had during the Ghost in the Graveyard days.

Capture the Flag has always provided fond memories for me, largely because of camp.

Now, people tell me I ramble a lot. Whether it is in person, while I’m DJing on the radio… or… well… right now in this blog.

So let me get to the point.

(If you have dealt with my ramblings up until now. Thanks. Brownie points for you.)

The point-

WPGU IS HOSTING “NIGHT GAMES ON THE QUAD” EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT THIS SUMMER!
