Alright study-abroaders…it’s time to see Austin night-life from a whole new perspective! Join us for *Planet Longhorn’s Pub(erty) Crawl on Friday, September 2nd…and we’ll show you some new watering holes where you can move your oh-so-mature study-abroad shenanigans to!

We’ll start off by meeting at the E-bus stop at 26th & Rio Grande (in front of Jefferson 26) at 9 p.m. Once we get downtown, we’ll start our pub crawl!! Officers will pass out wristbands, which will get you the drink specials at the bars we’re heading to.

BAR SCHEDULE:

[9.45 - 10.30] BETSY’S BAR (301 West 6th Street): $2 beers & shot specials

[10.30 - 11.30] LANAI (422 Congress Avenue): $2 beers, $3 wells & margs

[11.30 - 1.00] TROPHY CLUB (310 East 6th St): 50% off drinks & 1 free bull ride for anyone that wants one

[1.00 - 3.00] SWAN DIVE/BARBARELLA: check back later b/c we still have to work out details on this

If you can’t meet us at 9:00pm, no problem! Just use the schedule we’ll post to meet up with us later!! And remember, the times we expect to be at the bars are just an approximation and given our group size (and the nature of our activities) we might end up being slightly off schedule.

See you Friday!

Every Wednesday night, a glorious event occurs. This event is Spazmatics. They are an 80s cover band who will play your favorite renditions from Wham! to “Land Down Under” (which the Aussies ought to get excited for). The band plays outside on 4th street at Cedar Street courtyard, and the crowd usually consists of a good amount of older people who actually lived in the 80s, and then us cool college kids. Its FUN.

Since this Wednesday is the first day of school, there ought to be no assignments yet, and if you are falling asleep or hungover in your first Thursday class, its really not a big deal

**Cedar Street is 21 and up (bring your ID!) and costs $8 (bring your $!)

The show starts at 9:30pm and goes til 1am, with a few breaks.
We can meet at the bus stop on Guadalupe in front of the University Co-op at 9pm to head down together. If you can’t meet then, don’t worry! Any 1L/1M bus that leaves from the co-op will take you to 4th and Congress, where you can then walk to Cedar Street.

The bus stops running at midnight, but we can walk, carpool, or get a taxi back to campus.

Hey y’all! Welcome to Texas!

Of course in Texas the best way to welcome someone is through food, and we’ve got you covered on a Texan tradition. Join Planet Longhorn and in eating tons of BBQ and dancing the night away at Midnight Rodeo. You’ll see REAL LIVE cowboys (okay, at least people in hats and boots), try some 2-stepping, and meet some of your best friends (Americans and internationals alike)!

It’s gonna be HUGE, so don’t …miss… it!

Our BBQ starts at 6:30pm at the Union patio on campus, and around 9pm we will have buses to take you to Midnight Rodeo, and can take you back to campus at 1 or 1:30am. If you want to ride the bus, be sure to pay ahead of time so we can make sure you have a seat!
