February's production was massive: over 315 source objects with which to make this webisode. So one could seriously say that the Virginia Tech Experience is back in full swing this month. The ever unpredictable Blacksburg weather (and its equally unpredictable Hillcrest Residents) will be sure to astound (or appall) you this month. |

For a substantial number of consecutive Fridays, the weather was ridiculously nice in Blacksburg. So naturally, a whole crowd of Hillcrustaceans took advantage of this to engage in friendly compeition. Both regular and American football were played. | |
| Guess what? I even scored the winning touchdown when we took on the forestry grad students in Football. Here I am, showing off my "excited" face. |

And here I am, going up against Kevin. I can take him, as long as I'm on defense. Other than that, it's kind of sad. | |

| And look! 2 hours later, that same evening (following a scrumptious buffet at D2), it was DDR time! As all good Friday nights should be. |
|
|
|
This is no ordinary DDR... this is big screen, 1000+ songs availible, played from an open-source program, haul in the couches and make it a big social event DDR. Check out a video of good people playing. |

|
| Yeah, I remember Bear. Good friend of mine. You know, I never understood a single word he said, but he always did some mighty fine DDR steppin'. Here's video proof. |

Snowdaze II |

Unfortunately, nice temperatures don't stick around for very long in Blacksburg, so just a few days later, it was snowing again. | |

Look out for the camera, Greg! | |
| Now let's build a snow fort! |

|
|
Caught in the crossfire... you can see the snow between my glasses and my left eye. | |
| Look at Jeremy go! |
|

|
And here's my future roommate, Will, throwing a snowball at me. And that's definitely not my thumb in the lower left corner holding the snowball at arm's length. | |
| You've got to be able to see potential marauders through the peepholes in your wall. |

|
The finished product, ready to combat deviant snowball behaviors. Can't get enough of the snow? Well, I made another video! |
