Extra points if you dress as crazy as Lady Gaga. Seriously that girl is insane

We know you’re beautiful. You know you’re beautiful. All these poor Texans walking around 6th St. in their old t-shirts and jeans just don’t stand a chance. That’s why Planet Longhorn is throwing a masquerade ball, a chance for everyone to dress up in their best clothes, look even better than before, and have a classy evening out on the town… at least until the party ends, then the classiness is up to you. But since you’re already so good looking, we’re making it a masquerade ball so everyone else on 6th St. doesn’t get sad about how bad they look and go home early.

We’ve rented out the entire second level at Aces Lounge on 6th St. for the ball! It starts at 8:15 PM SHARP and will go until 10:30 PM or whenever you want to leave! Prices are as follows:

Over 21: $25, includes food, cover, and 4 drink tickets to be used before 10:30

Age 18-20: $15, includes food, cover, and unlimited nonalcoholic drinks

PLEASE RSVP and pay ahead of time so we can make sure to have enough food! We will be collecting money at the Starbucks on 24th and San Antonio (near the Castilian) on:

Sunday, Feb. 28 from 2-5:00 pm

Lucy in Disguise down on South Congress (A really fun Austin-y shopping area to go to anyways) has a great collection of masks, decorate your own, or have an artistic friend paint one on with facepaint!

We look forward to seeing you! Even if we don’t recognize you behind your mask, we’ll still pretend we recognize you until like 20 minutes later when we finally figure it out!

Please come THIS THURSDAY (2/11) and help Planet Longhorn raise money for the Dance Marathon. Some brave individuals have registered to dance for 12 hours next weekend, and this pancake-themed event is the fundraiser, so come! All proceeds will go to Dell Children’s Hospital! It only costs $5 for an unlimited supply of pancakes (mmmmmm….). Not only will the pancakes feel good in your tummy but you will feel good about giving money to a good cause. It’s so good! Location: Corner of 26th and Rio Grande, Tejas House Time: 10:30 PM until 2:30 AM ******VERY IMPORTANT****** When you get to the door please make sure you say you are here for Planet Longhorn or else the money will not go to our team. Thanks so much for helping out, we couldn’t do it without you!

We like to work off the extra calories acquired over the weekend… and Tuesdays…and Thursdays… by playing INTRAMURAL SPORTS every week! Basketball games start this Sunday at 4:30, and we could use some more girl players! No worries if you’ve never played any of these sports before; we’ll be playing in the least competitive division so it’s all for fun! Other sports during the semester include Soccer, Softball, and Water Volleyball. If you haven’t signed up with us yet and are interested in playing any of these sports, please email us at members@planetlonghorn.net with your UT EID!

We also know that meeting Internationals or Americans is a tough job when there is already so much going on. Planet Longhorn is here to help make that easier for you with our BUDDY PROGRAM! If there are any Internationals looking to get to know Americans on a more personal level or vice versa, shoot us an email and we’ll send you an easy application!

Last but definitely not least, we’ll be meeting at pubs and bars around campus and the local Austin area every other Thursday at a new venue to help you discover everything Austin has to offer. If you’re interested in getting messages about where we’ll be meeting, join our brand new facebook group “Planet Longhorn Thursday Cultural Excursions” to get all the details about where we’ll meet and when!

NOTE: Most of these bars are 18 & up so everyone is welcome to come hang out!

Time to get acquainted with the many beautiful, historical buildings in Austin… And by that we mean getting acquainted with sixth street! Come out and enjoy the $2 wells at Peckerheads and $2.50 wells at Blind Pig, just to name a few.

We are meeting on Friday, January 22 at the E-bus stop on 26th and Rio Grand at 9 PM, make sure you are on time so we can start the party because if you’re late you’ll just have to meet us downtown. The party will not wait for you!

1. Beauty Bar (9:30-10:15)
2. Creekside Lounge (10:15-11)
3. Blind Pig (11:15-12)
