The 3rd periodic 340 Club Reunion has been postponed indefinitely

Before there was an Animal House there was a 340 Club; before there was a Dean Wormer there was a Harold "the fuck" Martin; before there was John Blutarsky or a Daniel Simpson Day there was Tim Lutter, Sil Simpson, Dan Joyce, Tim Getzloff, Dick Lichty, Jim Shay, Phil Zangari, Chris Joyce, Dave Petkosh, Mitch Herr, Kenny Giltner, Dean Staherski, Randy Brown, John Emswiler, Sue Krimmell Emswiler and myself; before there were any Delta Tau Chi pledge pins, there were 340 Club cards; before Otis Day & the Knights, the 340 Jukebox; before there were Delta Brothers there were the usual gang of idiots that congregated at 328, 340 (twice) and 338 West King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a decade beginning in August 1974. This blog is dedicated to those idiots and those times. God bless Kenny, Mitch and Chris; may they rest in peace.

From the Poet Laureate

The 340 Club's Poet Laureate - Chris, Black Fox, Clactu - who lived on West King Street for all to brief a period in 1977 left behind a poetic legacy that is shared weejkly every Wednesday right here; further he is still producing new works and will recite his newest for all of us at the June 7th reunion. We are heading down the stretch now and here is what you can look forward to right here over the next three weeeks, after tonight, first the young Black Fox' Last Will, then his newest work written this year and lastly a barrage of vintage 1977 poetry fixated on Rock's Queen herself Bonnie Parker. So, sit back and enjoy. Here is tonight's entry:

Untitled by Christopher E. Joyce

And in the last night there was a dream
In the dream were three beings, all order, all taller, and all more firmly entrenched

Upon the uprooting they all spoke, one here, one there but in aware of everywhere
and one approaching a state on the periphery of everywhere

Their words were fumbled and could only make sense in music
There composite makes eyes spark of wishful works of wisdom, and Let it Be
