Secrets of Roup - episode 2 of Three

Sometimes we are all caught up in daily routines and cannot take a moment to take in what is really going on. Even on a blog. So this Secrets of Roup section has to be taking the place of an extra pair of eyes, and taking on the roll of an informer
It is no secret that Lucy G broke her least favorite mug on the floor today. or at least it WAS a secret. so as you see her holding two new mugs you now have another confirmed witness (- me - Seth LeDonne) and a previous witness (Brian Disanto) (together making the rock group Golden Quikrete) that she broke one mug before posing with two mugs. It's a form of cleansing maybe for her.

i just want to call to mind that lucy is a good person but sometimes it does seem like there is a secret about her
who is making her do things like break a mug in the middle of the floor

EXHIBIT A
and EXHIBIT B
who is this strange devil doll? no dear viewer we do not expect you to fall for a belief in such childy's play or voodoo doll phenomenology. however we must ponder, secretly, if the secret is that Is Lucy dillusionally being controlled by this doll, a meer knick knack. is the knick making her tick? time will tale.

One Second Seth The Artist, Let Me Finish This Blog Post First

Enjoying a cup of fair-trade organic rooibos tea! Also, roup has 2 bunny mugs.

Imagine this as a video clip of Rouper Lucy saying sarcastically the above mug "sucked" and then her making fun of Rouper Seth, that he often has nothing but shorts on and 1/6 of all Roup Blog posts concern broken glasses - or something like that.

Secrets of Roup - episode 1 of Three

Welcome to Secrets of Roup, a new series of updates that will chronicle past events at Roup that were 'overlooked' this is a rare oppurtunity for the viewer to see what really goes on, for a limited time, and without any filters or censoring we are going to reveal the roup that We know, and you are to know.


Lucy has been home and has bought a few cups at a thrift store (pictures to come) She's been wondering where they all went. Well, someone's fayette county tendencies are coming out. These drinking vessels are still lingering around Seth's room.


let us hope that this juicy little secret gets out and gets taken care of!

You can never be too cautious. So, we spy on our neighbors.




( None of our neighbors are actually featured doing dirty deeds. In fact, there are no people in these photographs. However, that does not mean they aren't up to no good. They are probably scoundrels. Bloody, scheming, Friendship scoundrels. Or. Just really quiet.)

lucy leaved



Ms. Lucy Goubert is embarking on a travel of the western part of our country. We had our first ever all three room mates meet up to eat at the Tawain Cafe in Oakland, Pittsburghh Pennsylvania. It was a happy thing to all eat together. Even though it was a happy thing to have happened it was our last meet up for a while as well.

After seeing her 'favorite band to see live,' Starecase, at the Half Nelson record release in Oakland, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Lucy Goubert returns home to finish packing for her trip the next day. She leaves during the day and will be traveling for several weeks perhaps.

Her presence remains

Without business cards what's a blog to do with itself? It would probably sit around and watch The Price is Right and eat cheese curls all day and only leave to pick up his or her mom from the airport because she can't drive and doesn't want to take the bus. It's unhealthy...

Roup Visits Joe Hammer: Deuce


One of the Roupers, Brian, decided to sing at the Joe Hammer Quiet Sound Night Birthday Party Blast.  I asked him to describe his songwriting and he told me, "They're anthems for a new, scared generation".

THE END OF SHARING?



















No but we are eating exclusively JIF natural Peanut Butter at this time.
The middle one is small so it can be taken to work
There was a tenant from Austin, TX who lived above us Oct - Dec. His name was John Michael Flowers. He was a handsome, clean cut lad who lead a secretive life while staying at Roup and would regularly walk in the house between 4 and 4:30 am. Parties? Nightly trips to the barber to become even more clean cut? Meditative walks?
Regardless, he left me this note when he asked me to return the Verizon router. God speed JM Flowers. You're welcome anytime

We're Blogging

Brian is caught blogging on Roupblog at the same time as Lucy.
Roup is in Friendship and it's super blurry here all the time, but that's alright because we're nurtured and hugged often by Garfield, East Liberty, Shadyside, and Bloomfield. If we're lucky, we sometimes get a piggyback ride from Lawrenceville as well.

Roupfridgerator continues to be cultural hotspot
