1) "The Rehearsal at Jody's House" (2004)

2) "The Rehearsal at Collin's House" (2004)

During rehearsal, we look outside and see the wind blowing very hard and it is starting to rain and thunder/lightning. We decide we want to go outside and "experience" the storm. So we proceed outside and watch the wind blowing branches around and other debris, while being frightened periodically by the thunder and lightening. Suddenly, a strong rain is added to this chaos. We decide to go back in before someone gets hurt. While we are inside we hear a loud "crash" and look out the window to see what it is. We notice a large tree on top of Kari's car. We go outside in the midst of this storm, and view a gargantuan tree, right down the middle of Kari's car. Kari comes out and looks at it and is the least worried out of everyone else. We are all looking at the damage and there is water leaking into the car from the cracked ceiling, and the top of the car is cruched, but overall, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Kari calls her parents, while the guys go outside to attempt to move the tree off of her car. They get it off and set it aside the car when another large tree falls directly behind them. Everyone starts screaming. We look over and see police men at a nearby house trying to get trees out of the road. The rehersal is over. Everyones parents come. Kari's car goes to the shop.

Towards the end of the rehearsal, Aurora goes to the bathroom, located on the 2nd floor out of 3. She comes back into the rehersal room for a second, goes back to the bathroom, then again, comes back about 10 minutes later.
She says "Jody, I think your toilet is overflowing..."
Jody says "what?"
Aurora says "I don't know, there is water coming out of the toilet"
So Jody goes into the kitchen and is about to go into the bathroom and notices that there is about an inch of water flooding the kitchen floor, so she wades into the bathroom and sees that there is water coming out of the tiolet, rapidly. Collin and Lily, a friend of the band's, goes in and tries to figure out how to turn the water off, figures it out but the knob is stuck so they keep working on that, while telling everyone to get lots and lots of towels to soak up the toilet water . So everyone not in the bathroom goes downstairs and looks in the laundry room for towels, when they notice that water is pouring through the ceilling into the laundry room, located directly below the bathroom. Everyone starts freaking out, tries to think of a way to grab some towels, and goes back upstairs towelless, while Collin runs by in a raincoat with an umbrella. Meanwhile, Jody gets on the phone, and calls a neighbor to come and help figure out how to turn the water off, because the house is rapidly flooding, and starts crying out of fear that house will fall down. Suddenly, Lilly and Collin turn the water off and slowly, the water stops flowing through the house. Everything is wet. Everyone is laughing/crying. 1.5 minutes later, Jody's mom walks in, Jody tells her what has happened, and she laughs. The house is very wet, everywhere.

3) "The Dinner at Katie's House" (2005)

On a sunny winter Saturday afternoon most of the band (Kyla, Jody, Collin, Katie, Aurora, and some friends Zach, Daniel, and Kate) met at Value Village to look for clothes, and the have some "band bonding time". We spent 2 hours there and then proceeded into the parking lot to discuss what we should do next. We decided we should all go to Katie's house and have a fancy dinner. So Collin and Jody stopped by Fred Meyers to get some bubbly (sparkling cider...). We decided we wanted to prepare it ourselves, so Jody made the appetizer (vegetable plater), and appetizer drinks (ruby red + sprite). Katie made crepe mix, and the fried the mix to procuce a crepe. Meanwhile, Collin was made a strawberry topping, a "special spread", and cut up a banana. Daniel and Kate set the table with wine glasses, specially folded napkins, name cards, and a milano mint cookie. Jody had an idea to add some sort of garnish, and went outside to find something to pick, but did not find anything that wasn't brown, so went back inside. She found a houseplant and found some "branch-ish" things and put them on top of the cookies. The the others were coordially asked to dinner, and escorted in to the dining area. We opened the bubbly, toasted, and put our napkins in our laps. Then we ate the crepes with the different toppings (the "special spread" was brown and lumpy and may have looked like something you wouldn't want to eat, but was actually very good). It was delicious. And to end it, we made our wine glasses whistle, only to create a 3 part harmony (filling the glasses different heights to make different pitches).
