Hey guys! So Fall 2010 is here! A new semester, new students, and new events. Let’s go!

Meetings!!! Meetings this fall will be Tuesdays at 7pm in CBA 4.324. Can’t wait to see all of you out there!

To clarify, meetings are typically for local students to plan/create events, practice our fake accents, and reminisce about the weekend’s (and weekdays’) shenanigans. However, exchange students are always welcome as well if you would like to be more involved behind the scenes of PL =). Also, please join the facebook group “Planet Longhorn” for event invites and messages about events/happenings around Austin!

The BBQ and Midnight Rodeo were a great success with about 300 people stuffing their face with delicious Rudy’s BBQ, cream corn, potato salad, and BBQ sauce. Midnight Rodeo featured lots of country dancing (or at least we copied the guys in the boots and cowboy hats) and an incredibly classy (?) bikini contest.

Floating the River also brought close to 100 students out into the Texas heat to enjoy tubing, cool water, warm beer, and about 15 laps around the whirlpool before successfully escaping. All in all, a great time!

Be ready for more big events this semester like pub crawl, tailgates, and Halloween as well as our smaller get togethers for unique Austin activities! Also look for us at the UT and McCombs Study Abroad Fairs September 8th, 10-3pm and the PALS Orientation September 9th.

Please email us at members@planetlonghorn.com with any questions/comments!

See you all this semester!
