Post Finals Cocktails

Posted by Misadventures in Turkey on 11/24/2008 9 comments
Hey all,

I'm wondering if folks would be down for drinking Friday, Dec. 12th after finals. Actually I'm sure you will be, but I'm unsure of how many folks will be around.

I am thinking if folks are up for drinking and cool with coming east I'd have a party at my place and we could hit some bars within walking distance as the night progresses... but if Silver Lake is too far we could also meet in the middle, say the Hollywood area, maybe the Cat and the Fiddle.

Thoughts? Suggestions on other middle of town bars...

Game Night Reminder

Posted by Jeremy on 11/22/2008 0 comments
So you probably read the post below about Jeremy & Niall's game night... we look forward to seeing you here!

When you arrive, there should be various spots on the street for parking, and there is an electronic buzzer system at the front door... just dial 410 or look for "Neil Huffman" - yes, the bldg manager spelled it wrong.

Or, call one of us:
Jeremy (909) 210-2771
Niall (714) 323-1878

People will probably start coming over between 7 and 8.

- Jeremy

Party in Brentwood 11/8

Posted by UCLA Urban Planning 2010 on 11/04/2008 0 comments



So there's been a lack of parties for a department that supposedly is
full of heavy drinkers. I think it's about time that we lived up to
our reputation as Urban Planners. So Andrew and I are going to
provide the opportunity for you to get your drink on (get fucked up,
smashed, trashed, plastered; although not puke), and there won't be
any Ultimate Fighting involved this time!

Date: Saturday, November 8th
Place: 401 S. Barrington Avenue (Brentwood)

I'll send out a map and more details in a few weeks. And even though
we live in Brentwood, it's a BYOB kinda thing; we do have loans to
repay. But Cecilia entrusted us with a bottled of Rum, if she doesn't
show it's free game. Additionally Richard will be leading us in a
revival of the Las Ketchup song/dance, you don't want to miss that.
There will be music, dancing, and snack foods. Hopefully you can make
it, and for those who have to travel far we can work out a sleeping
arrangement. We've got a futon, air mattress, and plenty of floor
space. More to come soon.

What's in Your Hometown?

Posted by UCLA Urban Planning 2010 on 11/04/2008 0 comments
Please take the time to read into this idea that Mathew Palmer brought to my attention while we were eating tater tots earlier this week. It's a fun way for us to get to know each other beyond our names, concentrations, and Chinese zodiac signs (if you were on that bus tour). We were thinking of doing this when we get back from Winter break. So, have the photos sent to: upsa2010@gmail.com maybe a week after Winter Break in case you want to shoot pictures during break.

Hometown Montage

Purpose
To bring together classmates and have each of us get to know each other through a creative medium that relates to our personal interests, history, and built-in environment.

What it is?
A collection of classmates’ photos of what they define as their hometown. Can be presented in a slideshow with text. We can limit each person to 3-5 slides in which each participant is free to create a collage or submit a single image per slide. It’s up to them to expand and be creative to tell their story ☺ First slide should be text of student’s name and hometown location.

Questions for participants to think about when selecting photos:
What does your hometown mean to you? If we were visiting your hometown, what would you want to show us first?

Where can this be presented?
Perhaps a bar that has LCD TVs and will give us permission to do so. May require us reserving space. This setting would be ideal because it is outside the classroom and in a more sociable setting.

What do we need?
To inform classmates and have them send pictures by a deadline date. We then need to organize photos into a slideshow that can converted into a DVD.
