May 1997 - the first (and in Brandon's opinion, the best) of three BCM council trips the boys go on...this one will be known for (among other things) having to sing "One" while extremely sunburned and for stopping in Whoknowswhere, Alabama, on the trip back home, where Ricky bought a can of Penny brand dog food.

All efforts to convince Housing otherwise (there was no statement in the 2-Plus contract about graduate students one way or the other) fail.
