blackwatch
blackwatch is the name of the hall I lived on my first 3 years at covenant. it's a scottish thing. and it was a great place to live in community with some great guys. I will forever be grateful for my friendships with roommates Andy, Greg and Dave, and many others too. and the folks I live near and work with these days happen to have lived there before we did, so it's kinda like a fraternity, but without so much greek letters and beer.
thanks to crabby, you can now get a glimpse into the world of blackwatch on a vintage turn-of-the-century website. so check it out. there are some, er, interesting pics of me and others there, so enjoy. and thanks to crabby.

Hey I know most of those guys! (Well, the ones from 2000) I lived on Blackwatch for two years, 01-03. Unfortunately the great hall that I came onto my freshman year didn't exist by the third year... traditions were lost, brotherhood and fellowship replaced by closed (even locked!) doors. Its too bad. It was a great hall while it lasted.
Closed doors! I'll go up this weekend and bust a few open. It was the best thing to have an open hall. Anybody remember naked hall aerobie? I lived in the dorms and GaTech and it was like a prison.
I think that I still have scars from the naked aerobie. those were some dang good years.
