Gonzaga

Mike: Around 2011, I lived with four other guys in a ratty shithole in the east end just off Tenth Line. We (or they really, before I got there) named it Gonzaga, as a way of easily identifying and referring to the place to friends.

We held our share of parties there and as a way of easily making Facebook events and inviting people, a Facebook page for Gonzaga was created that would be sort of a staging platform for events that would allow us to easily invite people. To my knowledge, it was never used once for this purpose. At present, the Gonzaga page is named "Gonzaga", it has a map to the address of the place, and that's about it. There's been one post made in its history: Since then, the page has not been touched or moderated. There is no content whatsoever, it offers nothing. So it's strange that as of this writing, we're up to 732 likes, with 10 new ones this week. People just keep joining, they can't get enough of the nothing. It's been speculated that we've inadvertently started a cult.

Chris: Let it be known that, because of the prevalence of Filipino postings, this Facebook page spawned the Xobong meme.
