Outpost candle-making & more Sicko Ball legend

I've mentioned Mike Mensik, '07 Outpost VC and son of former 70s VC Deb Trosvik, several times--and I've also told the legend of "Ultimate Sicko Ball" via D'Arcy Oaks. Last week I wandered into Arts & Crafts during a day of candle-making and found Outpost there, began to talk with the Outpost boys about their candles, and the conversation turned to Sicko Ball and finally to Mike Mensik who told his vague (and wonderfully incorrect) version of its origins. He concludes by talking about his alumna mom, who urged him to come east to FV to experience the magic she'd felt a mere thirty years before. Listen here to that recording.
