This Storry is Called "Sex", or alternately "H.M.S. Pinafore".

So this one time, I was driving around Victoria with 3 most excellent companions: Cory (rok'n'rol!) Logan (Hiya.ssss) and Gabrielle (Gabrielle!). And as we're driving Cory's like "Sex!". And I'm like huh? Where? Who? And he's like no it's a game. And I'm like "sounds like a excellent game". It had to do with seeing a car with missing headlight (it was night time) and the first person to see it shouts "sex" and hits the ceiling. "It's a Jake thing" claims Cory. Har. The Sexy bit now emerged. The last person to hit the ceiling has to remove an article of clothing. Woop there it is! So we played and played and played. Until Everyone was topless, I didn't have shoes on, and the van was steamy as sin. Then I remembered my rehearsal. I was late. The End.

This one time, Cory and I stayed up all night with Corale and Jeremy Loomis Norris. And then we did it again, and again, and again... And the Tubby Rummers were born. And this one time, Cory and Corale and I stayed up all night OUTSIDE and cried and fell asleep and woke up rained upon. And this one time, Cory and I went to go see The Scabs. And this one time, Cory met my friends for the first time. And this one time, Cory told me about Propagandhi and now I love them! And this one time Cory and I started a habit of bouncing up and down when we got happy, and now everyone does it and my website is named after it! And this one time, Cory and I figured out a way to easily classify everyone into one of three categories. And this one time, Cory and I watched some movies. And this one time, Cory played his song in the talent show and it was really clever. And this one time, Cory was the coolest of the cool and the bestest boi ever and we had lots and lots and lots of fun together. That was a good story, huh? Should I tell it again? (~summer)

Okay, this is long. And yes, it is, ultimately, about Cory. Last year when I was in Vancouver, me, Tessa, Maya, Elizabeth & Cory hung out for several days. On the last night before Tessa left, we went to the Kino cafe and watched these amazing flamenco dancers. Then we walked around the night streets of Vancouver for awhile. Maya had been practicing her favorite grass-roots activism all day: pulling down weight-loss posters off of billboards, telephone poles, wherever. So we passed a telephone pole and she ripped one off, and we all cheered, and as we walked she explained to us how it works. She said, "It's a pyramaid scheme; one person at the top encourages a few other people to get into the business, and then they recruit other people, and then those people recruit other people. It's a vicious cycle." So after awhile, Cory marches up to this telephone pole and rips off a "lost cat" sign, and we're all like, "Cory, what the hell are you doing? That's brutal!" and he says, "No, it's a pyramid scheme. One cat gets lost and encourages other cats to get lost, and then they encourage other cats. It's a vicious cycle." And I laughed about it for days afterward. ;) ~Rosie

Mkay, my favorite storry, or rather memory or Cory was that kickass discussion a bunch of us had at New Years about if Abraham was a total idiot or not for almost killing his son. Cory and Shippy went toes to toes on the issue, much to the delight of us onlookers. I remember him helping me dye my hair for the first time... intelligent well spoken and friendly. -Dawn

--- ok, so I was visiting cory last month, and I stayed there for like a week, and on the last night I decided I wanted coffee. so me and cory got out jackets on and cory wrote a note to his parents on a napkin (the time was like 1:30 am) and we headed out the door and walked to the bus stop and waited a looooooong time for the bus and then it came and we got on it and went downtown to Blenz, (24-hour orgasmic coffee, yeah baby yeah!) and had orgasms cuz of our coffee and schtuff. then we walked around and were hyper and weird cuz 1. by then it was like 2:30 am and 2. caffiene buzz! whoo! anyway. we went and found a bus stop and sat and waited for the bus. and sat. and sat. and sat and sat and sat and watched wierd people and sat. and then cory started setting paper plates on fire because the garbage people were on strike and there was a lot of garbage piling up. so we were really doing a public service. plus it's fun to burn stuff. we also burned the cover to a speaker on a head phone. that was cool. finally we realized that the bus probably stopped running and that we'd have to walk home. so we started off and were being crazy and laughing at weird stuff like steaming plants. ( "look!! the little sewer steam guys are in a sauna!!" ...don't ask. ) and talking about everything from spirituality to clowns hiding in gutters. and we stopped at a 7-11 and got candy ( sugar AND caffiene mix well!! *g* ) i think we scared the guy who was working there. a lot. then we walked some more and finally got back home. by then it was 5:53 am. and we were pretty tired from having so much fun ( walk around vancouver after midnight sometime. all the interesting people emerge. ) so we went to bed. and i left the next day. but it was the best last night i've ever had!

Ok...it was my first day of camp evereverever, session two '99, and I was really nervous and tired and stuff. There was this hat being passed around camp..you'd see one person wearing it, five minutes later it'd be on someone else's head, then you'd see yet ANOTHER person wearing it. I was hanging around the lodge before dinner being bummed and stuff, and..I believe it was Cory who plopped the hat onto my head, which cheered me up immensely! - Emma

Dude, I remember.. and correct me if I'm wrong, cuz I'm sure I am.. at Session 1, '99 teaching Cory the guitar chord 'G'. So then Cory went off for a while.. and I went and sat in the Cabin lounge and just kinda.. moped cuz I was sick. And finally Cory comes back and he's all "Dude! Carsie (I think it was Carsie..) taught me another chord! Check it out! E minor!".. and then he started singing... and finally hit a stopping point.. and he goes.. "No way man! I know two! GEEEE! E MINOR!"...

 ... and it was beautiful

• and a legend was born...

Ok I remeber back at session one 99, Zack and I were sitting on the little stage thing in that one room where we played the music and we were just watching Cory as he lay on the floor surounded by a group of girls sitting in a semi circle with the circle open at his feat. Zack and I suddenly got the idea of running over, grabbing his feat, dragging him off and see which of the girls would actually follow him. So we did it and amazingly enough, Summer and April got up and chased after him. I swear I have never seen anything so funny. Cory himself was confused at first, but then he saw why we had done it and who had actually chased after him. In fact, I think Zack could tell the story a lot better than I can.

I have two really cool storys about Cory. All of them take place at session 1 2000. I'm standing outside of dogwood and Cory comes by and asks if Dogwood is my cabin. I say nope and he says "well since you're a girl could you do me a favor?" and I kinda look at him strangly to see if he's going to ask me to perform weird sexual acts or something. Nope, he asks me to go into Dogwood and get the oreo's out of Carsie's suitcase. I do and I get like a huge handful of oreo's out of the deal. =) My other Cory story is it's that last night of first session and me and Lydia are jumping up and down going boingyboingy and Cory of course joins us. Me and Lydia get tired and go off somewhere else and before we know it there's like 20 people around Cory going "boingyboingy"! - Emily O.

Okay, so once during NewYears 2000 I wandered into my room to find Charlie at the computer and Cory looking over his shoulder. They had Dan Bern playing, and the song Tiger Woods came on, so Cory and I both started singing along to it. We were nodding our heads to the beat, and managed to keep these serious "fuck yeah!" expressions on our faces until it got to the part about "which one are yah, baby?! / do you like me or are you ignoring me?!", which was simply too much and we both cracked up and missed the rest of the song 'cause we were laughing so hard. That kept me giggling to myself for the rest of the day.
