BECOMING A GEORDIE

Howay

Homework, set by Geordies

14 tasks set5 learned9 waitingfrom 8 places

  1. 01

    A Geordie sets a task

    A word, a song, a pub, a rule. Anything it takes to be one of you. Your name and where you are from if you want them on it.

  2. 02

    Gus reads it

    Every one goes to him first. Then it goes on the list, in order, with your name beside it.

  3. 03

    He does it

    A note, a photo, sometimes a video, from Las Vegas, eight hours behind. The task gets ticked and the count goes up.

The drop box

Set me some homework.

A word I need to know. A song I need to learn. A pub I need to stand in. A rule I keep breaking. Whatever makes a Geordie a Geordie.

Goes to Gus before it goes on the list. Name and place are optional and shown if you give them. Nothing else is kept beyond what it takes to stop spam.

I will never be a full Geordie. Nobody from Vegas gets to say that. But every task a Geordie sets me, I do, with a note, a photo, or a video, and I keep count.
