Planet Longhorn 80’s Roller Skating Party!

by Thuglas on May.03, 2010, under Events

Planet Longhorn has rented out an entire skating rink and is throwing an awesomely American 80’s themed roller skating party (because you haven’t seen enough neon!)

We’ll have a fantastic soundtrack with some classic 80’s music hits; all you need to do is come along and dress up in ridiculous 80’s gear! See the photos for ideas and examples.

It costs $10 to get in, that includes admission and rental skates. COME PAY US at one of the collection times at the Starbucks patio on 24th St. on:

Friday, April 16th, 1:30-3:30 PM
Tuesday, April 20th, 1-2 PM

We’ll be meeting at 6 PM at 26th St. and Rio Grande on April 22nd to head over there and be back before 10!

If you want to bring drinks, the rink only allows beer in cans (no bottles, no liquor). If not no worries, but roller skating and screaming along to Bon Jovi can definitely get easier with a couple of brews!

International Brochure Questionnaires… woo!

by Thuglas on Apr.24, 2010, under General

Hey Guys! Planet Longhorn… in its infinite awesomeness… has just developed a questionnaire designed to be filled out by our study abroad student members. Basically, with our international student members’ help Planet Longhorn hopes to create a pool of information (which admittedly is not as exciting as a real pool) for UT students thinking about studying abroad. All the information in the questionnaire will go into a brochure, which will be made available on this website and to students interested in studying abroad at organization fairs like 40 Acres Fest. If you’re an international student, the information in this questionnaire is basically all the information you wish you’d had before you came abroad to Texas, and as a result, your input will be a direct step towards promoting study-abroad at UT and at your school.

You can download the questionnaire here Brochure Questionnaire Final… if you don’t know an answer to a question, feel free to just leave it blank, we’ll take anything we can get!

Planet Longhorn Potluck! (FOOD)!

by Thuglas on Apr.22, 2010, under Events

What does everyone love more than food? Food you didn’t have to make yourself! We’re not going to cook for all of you because that would be freaking impossible. But that’s what a potluck is for!

A potluck is where everyone brings a dish so you end up with a billion different foods to try out. Come join us at Jefferson 26 (J26) on 26th St. between Rio Grande and Nueces St on April 8th at 10PM! If you can, it’d be cool if you brought a food that represents your country, but if you can’t just bring a food that you’re good at making to share with everyone! Or if you are a terrible cook, grab a bag of chips or some drinks to share. I hope some of y’all are good cooks because I am not having a mountain of Doritos, HEB brand cakes, cokes, and beer for dinner. Actually that doesn’t sound that bad. Nevermind, that actually sounds horrible.

We’ll be in the event room by the pool if they let us use it, or just out by the pool if they don’t. The pool is right in the middle of the complex so it’s easy to find! Come in the door on 26th street closest to Nueces, it’s never locked, and call one of us if you have trouble!

Eat, drink and be merry!
