September 11th

It's sometimes really difficult to regain the perspective we had on that day... to remember the feelings we had, to remember our shock, our sorrow. BBP offers us a unique perspective into 9-11-01 that we can't really get from any other source -- our own thoughts, emotions, and feelings as written by ourselves.

Charlie Nordstrom broke the news that day, editing his post throughout to explain the events. Others wrote shortly thereafter with their thoughts and feelings. Nick Basile and Charlie later used Pro Wrestlers as the basis for a soothing post or two. Matt Ward disputed the word directly from Dave Nordstrom that gas prices weren't going to go up, and was later proven wrong (as we all know). Nick Kilburg and Jake Thomas offered eloquently written posts on the situation.

We were all at Washington High School that day, trying to celebrate a homecoming that no one really felt up to. Much has changed since then, our feelings on the military, the president, and many other things, but it's very interesting to go back and see how we felt nearly three years ago now. I think you'll find it very enlightening / interesting to read.
