The Berkinator Trio was formed by Stephen Sargent in April of 2002. Stosh Berk and Mike I. were original members with him. In September of 2003, the group included Robbie Haff. Greg Privett was swapped with Stosh Berk in June of 2004. Jean Michael was added to the mix, followed shortly after by Cory Dunson in November of '04. Stosh was allowed back in B3 in January of 2005. Hank and Konrad were inducted in May of 2005. In October of 2005, B3 kicked out Stosh once and for all and replaced him with Stonick.

February 12, 2006- B3 Day I (SIU): Peja Panic- This past weekend was a milestone in the trio's history. It ensured a promising future for the group, being as it was the first B3 Day for an expansion group, the SIU chapter specifically. The four members (Steve, Hahn, Curt, Haystack) left friday afternoon in route for Indianapolis, IN. The schedule was the see the pacers game that evening. Little did they know that it would kick off such a rememberable two days for these individuals.

     On the way, Steve and Curt thought it would be a good idea to wake up Hahn in an abrupt way. They opened all the windows simaltaneously. Hahn woke up shouting "What the Hell! What the Hell!" and looking as he screamed. After about 4.5 hours on the road, they pulled into Haystack's house. They had a little meet-and-greet time and ate some pizza. After 20 minutes there, they headed off to downtown Indianapolis for the pacers game. They arrived at Conseca Fieldhouse and bought souvenir t-shirts to wear to the game (later which Steve exchanged for a different design). The game was very exciting and the Pacers claimed the victory with no struggle. After the game, the group ran down and Steve snagged a high-five by none other than Peja Stojakovic before the security guards felt the need to have them "step away from the court".

     As they were pulling out of the stadium, Steve shouted in celebration of the victory to the neighbor cars. As he did this though, he realized the unusual weather pattern: IT WAS RAINING GLASS. This being a typical thing for a b3 day, the group shrugged it off and went back to The Stack's house.

     When they arrived back, each had a piece of cake a la mode and got some beverages for the movie they were about to watch ("Wedding Crashers"). During the movie, Hahn fell asleep and was officially tagged as the "SIU Haff" because of his pathetic sleeping pattern. Almost immediately after the movie, the group made their way towards the bed. Before going to sleep though, Steve decided to taunt Haystack with suspenseful stories of his past, referencing his and Mike I's experience with a Ouija Board and other ghost stories he had heard. This was in reaction to Haystack's "prior incident at his house". Apparantly, Stack had a ghost sit down on his bed and stare at him while he was sleeping. But that's "apparantly". This is the same guy that "apparantly" knocked up the current Ms. Illinois.

     The next morning, the group woke up and had some donuts. They headed towards downtown Indy around 1. Upon arrival, Haystack took un unusual amount of time to park because he didn't realize he had been driving in a circle in a parking garage for about five minutes. Steve continued to try to warn him, but 'future Nascar driver' said otherwise. A walk around the mall lasted a few hours. Steve bought NFL BLITZ for 4 dollars and Hahn bought about 15 things. They got samples to fill a small portion of their hunger before leaving.

     The group walked along and bought cigars (all except for Sehy). Haystack ran to the top of the town square and pondered about 'catching lunch in an alley'. For lunch, the trio made the devastating mistake of going to "Buffalo Wild Wings" aka "Sample of Satan". About the only good thing that happened for them there was getting second place in the electronic trivia game. Other than that, it was pitiful. Several things were poor:

1. THE SERVICE (The waitress asked "what we wanted to drink" after GIVING us our drinks. She was then absent for about 20 minutes. After Steve told her he was disappointed with his meal, her reaction was "Oh. Well, that's too bad." Oh yeah. She spilled water all over Sehy)

2. THE FOOD (Sehy and Price asked for fries and got buffalo chips, whatever those are. Steve had the worst wings that any of the four had ever tasted)

3. THE PRICES (Too overpriced)

     After lunch, they headed back to Stack's house. Upon arrival, they played a little pool (WINS: Steve 4, Hahn 1, Haystack 1) and Hahn embarrased himself in DDR. They had dinner with the Price family where Haystack was grilled by his father. Sehy, Hahn, and Steve were asked about Haystack's questionable future and his father mentioned his past with his girlfriends. Even Courtney got in on the show. During dinner, Sehy and Courtney (very obviously) played footsie with one another leaving the family wondering if there was more to their relationship.

     A B3 tradition was kept strong after dinner: Cold Stone. While there, Haystack and Hahn got very nervous while ordering so Sehy and Steve helped them out. Courtney didn't have any problems either. They drove back, dropped off the ice cream and went to see "Final Destination 3" (no one knows why). The review: 1.3 out of 10, only because "Curious George" was playing two theatres down. It was just as bad as you could imagine. They had an encore movie after that: "The Devil's Rejects" (Haystack's pick), which is the PERFECT mix of awkward nudity and unfitting music and gore. This pathetic attempt at a film got the group out of any mood to proceed with the rest of the evening plans. Originally they were going to go to White Castle as 3 AM (3 AM FEAST: B3 Tradition) and ghost hunt in Stack's house. But after 'rejects', sleep sounded genuine.

     Sehy and Steve caught the first half of "Guess Who" before dozing off while Hahn and Stack played Strip Poker by themselves.......Sehy also got up in the middle of the night to 'keep Courtney company'.

     The next morning, the group woke up and went to church with Stack's family. Following the service was a brunch at Flapjacks with the Price family once again. Before arriving, Hahn decided to make fun of a young gentleman's apparel at church, which is "classy". They discussed a little more, this time going on the touchy subject of Stacey Ferrar, which has stirred up much contraversy in the chapter's past. They headed home and packed up to leave. But not for long. They made two trip back to the house before actually leaving, one to return a DVD and another to pick up some gloves.

     After a few hours on the road, they dropped by Sehy's house and chilled with the fam'. Ate some cookies. Talked to the bird. They took a short drive through Effingham and headed home bringing the longest B3 to date to an end.

November 14, 2005 - Adam Phair and Joel Kidder joined Mike I and Haff to form the MTSU chapter of B3. Mike wasted his camera taking pictures of brooms, so he had to draw a picture of the event.

Apparently, Steve started an SIU chapter, but you know Steve: "There's a B3 website?"

"Tony Hawk will probably come to more B3 Days than Stosh." --Mike I

Steve's Movies of the Week

"Titanic 2" - Jay Leno- Though it's very unknown, this is actually a movie. It's an anime that's about 2 years old. It's a spoof of the 90's classic epic film. In this spinoff, Jack comes back from the dead searching for Rose and hopefully renew their love. The problem? Rose is married. Jack decides to go on a killing spree. It's hilarious but has some great action too. And for some reason, they have Jay Leno doing the voice. You need to rent this one immediately! (Steve's Review: 9 out of 10)
