Xmas Break - Part 1!

Hey guys! I want to see you all multiple times over Xmas break and plan on doing TWO group events. Here's the info about the first one (the second one hasn't been planned yet). Anyway, here's info:
Date: Monday, 12/17/12.
Time: Meet @ 5pm at TUBA'S house
What: Carpool over to Miller's Bar in Dearborn to get what Tuba claims are the best burgers in existence. Then, head over to Zap Zone for a game or two of ltag. If we want to derp for a bit after, that's cool too
People: Me, Trombone, Tuba, Martin, Dan, Burke, Gabe.
See y'all soon!

PS. I'm open to any and all suggestions re: the next event.
PPS. I have nothing productive to do over break, so if any of you are bored, don't hesitate to call me up - it's weird to be home and not surrounded by friends all the time.

Xmas Break!

Hey guys! As we discussed at the Thanksgiving group event, we're going to do dinner + zap zone over Xmas - at least, for the first event.
Date:Tues, 12/17/12.
Time: Approx. 5pm-10pm
What: Have dinner at this place Tuba knows about in Dearborn - apparently they have the best burgers in the world? Then go to zap zone for some old fashioned laser tag nostalgia.
Cost: No idea how much dinner is; ltag is $4/game
Transport: Carpool in Tuba's car; meet at his house or my house, TBD.
People: The Group

See you then!

--Jess

PS. We'll have a GHO at my house/someone's house over break too. :)

Thanksgiving GHO V3

Date: Sat, 11/24/12
Time: 12pm to ~4pm.
Place: Meet at my house, carpool from there. We do have family staying with us for the holidays though, so I'd like to leave my house fairly quickly.
What: Probably Maybury and the cider mill. If anybody wants to do anything else, we can change the plans too, nbd. If you guys don't want to go to Maybury though, I'd like to know ahead of time, because I will go before the group thing if y'all don't want to go.
Who: Me, Trombone, Dan, Tuba, Martin, Burke, Gabe
Contact: Now.

I can't wait to get caught up with you all!

Thanksgiving GHO! V2

Hey guys! I hope you're all enjoying college. I just wanted to let everyone know about the next group thing.
Date: Friday, Nov 23rd
Time: Afternoon.
What: GHO & catching up!! We'll decide precisely what to do once we get there; options will include the park, bowling, someone's house, the mall, the cider mill...anything, really. My vote is the cider mill & maybury (weather providing) , but I'm pretty okay with anything. :)
People: The group!
Contact: A week or two in advance.

Please note that since Thanksgiving break is short, day/time is nonnegotiable. Also, it's strictly GHO - no real planning involved. I will try to plan something cool for Xmas break, but this is not it - its just a reunion type thing so we can all see each other.

Very Important Meeting V3

Start Time: approx 10/11am, or whenever you finish marching/commencement practice. Literally come straight from practice to my house. SHS people should text me first.
End Time: When we finish. Please don't make other plans for this day, just in case it takes longer than I want it to.
Place: My house.
What: FINISHING senior trip plans & assigning packing stuff. I need everybody to KNOW for SURE what camping and airsoft supplies they can bring. If everyone knows this, we can finish faster. If not, then we'll have to go your house and have you look through stuff.
Food: Bring either your lunch, money to buy food, or willingness to eat whatever I happen to have in my house at the time.
People: Jess, Trombone, Martin, Dan, Tuba, Gabe, Burke.--These names need to all turn to green unless people decide they're not going.
Fun?: Sure, if we get the business done. Ideally, we can wrap everything up in an hour or two and then play ping pong or go to the park or play videogames. For once the business HAS to come first though.

There will be no excuses. I don't care if your other friends are having a party or if your girlfriend wants something or if you have the opportunity to work that day. We all have to be there this one time. Now. If you are GOING ON THE TRIP, you MUST come to the 'packing meeting'. Details will be both here and on facebook, so nobody misses anything ever. Please put the date in your phone/calendar/head NOW and DON'T plan anything else for this day.

Thanks guys.
