Creative CKI Event Titles

On the other hand I tend to excel in a bit of creativity in the form of personal titles for CKI events that I've attended (or haven't). Many friends from Circle K might or might not know these alternative titles, so feel free to look. These are the titles that I would normally place on my blog when documenting events.

I like referencing stuff, but some people don't get it, so I've provided links as reference hints.

Note as years go by, titles start becoming less direct and more interesting.

CapitalFnMCrew

Capital Film and Media Crew: After hearing about the recent successes and productions from the UNLV Film and Media Crew (like an Asian Drama), a new team was assembled in order to compete with the Desert Oasis school. By request of the new LTG, Fiona Cheng, filming and production started as early as this.

If you want something good, it's best to start early. I should probably allocate more time to presentations... it's costing me quailty points on my grad work.

End of Line, End of CKI

Closing thoughts about being both a Historian at CKI and as an active member.

DCON - it was amazing entirely, but unfortunately the year's over, and it's time for me to retire my position as Historian as well as my an active role at Circle K within a month after this post (the last two events being the End of Year Banquets). Given the fact that I am currently a senior and planning a co-op this point forward, it's time to step down.

DCON Evolved

This is the personal name for District Convention: Service Legacy.

Summary: This marks the end of the year for Circle K - where the old board retires and a new board for this upcoming year including* Fiona Cheng as Capital Division LTG and J-Cao Nguyen as District Governor.


It's been approximately one year since I last did the blogging of this event.

Unlike last year where we didn't have registration forms to attend the opening ceremony, instead it was the ride itself. Luckily this time around videos of this was posted online

Straight into the action we go. No intros, no electric lighted spirit battles and cheers, but there IS a combination of * Deadmau5 and Daft Punk DJing on the dance floor.

IMO I found the DCON to be the most impressive compared to last year, and some of the other events other than dancing were better and more varied. Also, the table props were very nice. As a senior, this is going to be my last district event.

Small Note: I was hoping to leave with at least a MRP award for my effort and service at Circle K (as a pin), but apparently I (and the rest of the UOP CKI) didn't receive them (I was unable to locate Jacklyn Rivera post-event), as well as my rank saying "Circle K Member", leaving others no indication that I served as a historian.

DCON Grid

DCON: Day 1. After six hours of driving, we finally made it to our destination, two hours after the official start of the event, missing out on a few intros. Luckily the opening-closing presentations were published online on Facebook.

On one of the cars in the parking lot: "Entering the Grid!"

Capi-Coast Capture the Flag

Come at me bro.

(Capture The Flag at C^3 (Central + Coast + Capital) - after the game reached a stalemate for over an hour. Later made into a cover photo.)

Objective: Interclub between Central Coast Division and Central Coast. Meet up at Letterman Park in Clovis. The only thing to do is to fix the park up (cover up gopher holes to avoid people tripping over them), painting over any graffiti in the bathrooms, raking leaves and other debris on the ground).

Summary: Capture the Flag game was held between four teams (one for each color), but unfortunately our team was unable to take the other team's flag before the time ran out (was also outnumbered). Dinner afterward at Popeyes. Note the picture between Capital and Central Coast for CTF is a bit misleading.

Meme related: Someone suggested 'Everyday I'm Shovelin' for the shoveling up the gopher holes portion. I however used that before last fall in the trench digging service project (image will appear at DCON). I looked through my pictures for the day, chose this one, and set the caption to my first thought about the image.

Also: This image also seem to go well with the song What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) in the background (especially the chorus)
