Flyer News: How is life on Stonemill?
Greg Wetzel: It's fun. There is always something to do. The houses are good and the neighbors are great.
FN: Do you have any house traditions?
GW: On the weekends we like to wear flannel a lot.
Mark Hoffman: Yeah, we look good.
Tom Brackmann: We went through Facial February where we all grew out our facial hair. We also keep a calendar of events posted.
FN: What's a must have for a 416 Stonemill party?
MH: We are always fully stocked on Admiral Nelson and Beast. We like to listen to Flight of the Concords a lot. We think they are hilarious.
TB: Once our neighbors at 423 stole our alien from one of our parties, so we stole one of their chairs.
FN: What should everyone know about your house?
TB: Probably that we have a 55-gallon fish tank. There used to be a lot more fish in there, but they died during the blackout. We used to have three puffer fish.
MH: Yeah. We also thought the whole school was shut- down during the blackout. Mike took the week as vacation. We call him Hurricane Mike now because he was a mess.
TB: We also have a resident alien that lives with us. We call him Alfred.
FN: What's your best memory from this house?
TB: Probably my 22 and three-fourths plus one day birthday party. It was a blast everyone had a great time. Mark even did a face plant on the sidewalk for us by the end of the night.
FN: When you usually open your fridge, what can you find?
GW: Probably some expired eggs, bad grapes, milk, beer and of course Diet Pepsi Max.
FN: Any house rules at your parties?
MH: No more touching our music! And no more "A Mili" played at our house!
FN: What's the biggest perk about living here?
MH: The 30-second walks to all of my classes.
All: The washer, dryer and dishwasher are pretty key.
FN: Any downfalls to living in 416?
Mike Demko: It's perfect. Actually, the tile makes it a little hard for beer die.
FN: Do you guys have any nicknames for each other?
TB: We call Demko either Dentron or Tron.
MD: We all woke up to our Daytona roommates screaming "Baby Boy!" every morning at 9 a.m. one year. That name has stuck with all of us ever since.
FN: Any final thoughts?
All: Stay for five years if possible.
