Plea for Information

Hey guys. Long time no see, though hopefully either Dan will plan vgames for Thanksgiving break or he'll tell me he's not so I can plan a GHO or something (ahem). ANYWAY, I'm posting this because I need opinions on something:

So. Senior Trip. We made a LOT of progress at our last meeting (though it may not have felt like it) and we'd planned on meeting again over Xmas break, probably after the 1st of the year. Hopefully Stephany will have heard from Harvard by then and/or know if she can come. However, I have not heard from her and don't know where she's at on this, or if she'd be able to make the meeting. The question I propose for y'all is this: do you guys feel that you have enough questions/new information/business to take care of to warrant a meeting without Steph? Obviously if she has a direct answer for us by then, we'll need to meet, but if not, do you guys think its worth it?

Please think about this and let me know whenever I see y'all next, or via some random form of modern communication. I want group input though. Personally, I feel like we could ramp up some of the planning, but I need to know if you guys agree. Thanks!

Halloween Lockin V3

Hey guys. The next event on our agenda is the Halloween laser tag lock in. Some of us did this last year. It was cool. Here's the info:
Date: Sat 10/29 - Sun 10/30
Time: 10:30pm-6am.
What: Overnight unlimited laser tag. Awesome.
Cost: $30 member, $35 nonmember. To make up for this, I will not be planning anything w/ a cost in Nov and maybe not in Dec either.
People: Me, Trombone, Dan, Burke, Gabe, Tuba, Martin.
Transport: Carpooling is a viable option. If you have transport issues, tell me now. If you have a parent willing to drive (esp in the morning) please tell me that too.
Note: Feel free to invite other friends to this

Jess.
PS. Because parent permission isn't as imp (or hard to get) as before, I'm changing the color coding slightly. The new code is:
Green: "I have no schedule conflicts and I plan on going."
Teal: "I plan on going but I haven't for sure cleared my schedule yet."

Vgames + GHO v7

WARNING! BIG CHANGES!
----------edt by Jessica-----------
Date: Friday, 9/2/11.
Time: 11-4. It's not 12-5 cuz people hafta leave town for Labor Day
Place/What/Etc: What Dan said (see below)
Note: Check your emails for senior trip stuff
NOTE TWO: Since Trombone unexpectedly can't go, the senior trip meeting is going to be RESCHEDULED for sometime. This will be simply vgames/gho at Dan's. No meeting.
--------------------------------------
Vgames and whatever at my [Dan's] house. Bring whatever you want. I'll try to get my hands on one of the super smash brothers games. There's other vgames, chess, cards, board games (though mine are pretty lame), watching of old powerpoints, park, whatever we feel like doing. There will be food, but eat lunch before you come.

Oh yeah: One problem. I work. I will fill out one of those fancy time off request thingies so they don't schedule me that day. Most likely this will work out, but i'm not 100% sure so I'm not green for my own event :D. Assume though that this is happening.

The business meeting is POSTPONED until a Day in September at Jessica's House. More info to come.

Place: My House (AKA DANS HOUSE)
People: Dan, , Jessica, Martin, Gabe, Tuba, Burke,Trombone, Stephany
Bring: Whatever you want.
Transportation: Get your own.

Last Minute Thing. VFinal

Hey guys. I'd like to try to do something as a group this week before Band Madness begins. Here goes nothing.
Date: Thurs, 8/4
Time: 1pm until sometime.
Place: Meet at Burke's house
What: We'll decide when we get there! Maybe bowling, maybe a park, maybe GHO, maybe something else. That way I'm not calling everyone 800 times trying to sort through all the "I don't know"s. BTW: This was Burke's idea so blame him if it fails :).
People: Me, Trombone, Burke, Martin, Tuba, Dan (camp), Gabe
This is small...That's okay, it'll be fun anyway! See you guys Thursday,

-Jess-
PS. HEADS UP: Dan wants to plan vgames 8/31. Ltag is 9/6.

The last minute roller skating is a no. If you don't know what i"m talking about, good. ignore this post.

Please scroll down and read the post about roller skating in August/September

Skating Memo

We talked about rollerskating. I said I'd plan it. Riverside is picky about what days of the week you're allowed to skate. Long story short, I'm looking at Friday, August 19th, staring @ 8pm.

The reason I'm telling you this now is because of band. I don't really understand how your preband camp stuff works, ESPECIALLY for SHS, though I thought preband was the thing where you're home at night. So I need to know if this is okay with you guys. If it isn't, we can wait on skating until late September I honestly don't care; I just want to know.

I must know AHEAD OF TIME (I have Good Reasons), so band people, please tell me if this works for you.

BTW: If you do the library's teen summer reading thing you get free admission to this.

Martin's Date of Surgery

Martin's surgery is on October 4th 2011, a Tuesday.

Dr. Irazaltz. @ Beaumont Hospital.

Will not be able to eat anything after midnight the morning of surgery. Will be at hospital for a week after surgery - until he can use crutches, climb stairs, and can eat regular food.

We get to go see him. :)
