I- It Feels Like the First Time.
In the fall of 1998, a young Steve Farley, fresh faced and wide-eyed, arrived at the College of Georgia. He was clean-shaven, well mannered, trim and sober.
Within the first few days, Steve began to have visions at night. He built strange replicas of kegs in his mashed potatoes. Voices whispered to him. Some strange cosmic force was pulling him towards the Delta House and he didn’t know why.
