Already depressed that your Texas days are numbered?! Well, here’s something to look forward to–the Double Whammy Birthday Texas SWAGGER PL River Float!! Because we want you to end your semester in style, we’ll be floating the Comal on Saturday the 30th (which happens to be Katie Chapman’s BIRTHDAYYYYY AND “KONINGINNEDAG”–the celebration of the Dutch queen’s birthday YEAHHHH). So wear your TEXAS SWAG, YOUR BIRTHDAY GEAR (or s…uit?!) and/or ORANGE and get ready to have a great time!

We are meeting at Jefferson 26 (leaving at 1 pm!!) and taking buses to the river to go “tubing.” This basically involves you laying back in a tire (your tube) for a few hours and doing nothing but enjoying the cool river (really, it’s cold) and cool people all around you.

Cost of awesomeness?
$25/person – This is a set fee charged per person by Texas Tubes for bus transportation to/from and tube rental fees.

Please try to pay online by Monday at midnight! We need to know whether to tell them 1 or 2 buses and so we can guarantee you a spot on the bus!
Collection times: Monday, 2-4pm at Starbucks on 24th

**You are welcome to bring food and drinks for the bus AND while you float on, so BYOB (just no glass!)** We’ll be gone for about 5 hours! You won’t need a cooler! Mesh bag + cold water = cooler.

PARTYYYYYYY!!!

• Swimming, smores, machetes, campfires, grilling – PL camps Krause Springs once again!
• Mardi Gras Party was a success, raising $108 for NZ Relief, while some of our PLers spent real Mardi Gras in NOLA!
• Spring Break sent PLers in every direction: Cali, Padre, Mexico, and more but almost all made it back for the amazingness that is SXSW.
• Alumni of the Month: Jess Foran. While we all miss her infamous birthday cakes, Jess tells us what she misses about Austin, including queso, plaid shirts, and the 1st Amendment.
