Christian Burris, Well-Suited


This is Christian Burris, a great guy I met in 1989 when he was a freshman at Wake Forest and I was the hall director in Kitchin House, to which he had been assigned. Consider him one of the regulars at Roediger House events, as was the case when this picture of him was taken. It was the night of the 2010 Chili Cook-Off, and he was coming from other social and civic gatherings. Hence, the suit.

But you gotta give him this: he's cutting rather a sharp figure standing in the entry foyer of the house, with the warm glow and cozy setting of the South Parlour behind him.

Take your lead from Chris: If you've not been finding your way to the Roediger House for movie nights and chili cook-offs and Halloween bashes and basketball tourneys and other sordid and sundry affairs, you should reconsider how you arrange your social calendar. Seriously.
