Langdon Street Neighborhood Watch

First, some background information and links for people to read in case they need to be caught up:

WKOW Channel 27 Story
Badger Herald News Story
Badger Herald Opinion Piece

As an update, I went out and patrolled Langdon Friday night until 1:30am (dispite having to work at 7am the next morning) and I don't regret it at all. I even got to shake Chancellor Wiley's hand when he came to tell us thanks "for our leadership" at around 10pm when the patrol started. There should be a few more news stories from various outlets in the Madison area, including a piece from CBS where they followed us around for a little longer, and a Wisconsin State Journal article I believe. I'll keep you updated and link to them when I become aware of them. For now, I'm proud of my brothers, my community, and my city for allowing this to happen, and I thank everyone who had a much bigger part in making it happen than me. Its positive PR for an organization (the Greek system) that often gets anything but.

Oh, and for some more fun "news," I bring you my list of songs I've been listening to a lot lately:

Cary Brothers - "Ride"
G. Tom Mac - "Half"
Yellowcard - "Believe"
Mat Kearney - Nothing Left to Lose (new album)
Augustana - "Hotel Roosevelt"

That's all for now, folks. Keep checking back for (hopefully) frequent updates.
