OU WEEKEND IS UPON US!
by patrickbarsallo on Sep.12, 2011, under Events, General
THE DEALIO:
The Red River Rivalry takes place every year (for over 100 years…) in Dallas between Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners (booo!). The football rivalry is a huge, epic battle, where all football spirit you thought you knew is 1000x greater. AND as if the football madness wasn’t enough, the stadium is on the grounds of the Texas State Fair, where you can try just about anything in the world… fried. This is one of the most prized Texas Traditions, and for the first time ever, PL is taking you there.
THE PLAN:
We will have 12 drivers coordinated to take you to Dallas on Friday, October 7, and returning to Austin on Sunday, October 9. We will also have a bus that takes you from the hotel to the game on Saturday, and back.
We have a block of 15 rooms that can each fit 4 people. That leaves room for 60 people (minus 12 designated drivers), so there are 48 spots left for this big adventure.
**Since it is more difficult/limited time for international students to attend this event, we ask that locals who want to join be paid members.
THE PRICE:
For transportation and 2 nights in the hotel, the price is only $100!
Because of limited space, we are only collecting money in-person. In addition to collection times, you can contact any of our officers, and we will be happy to find time to meet you.
Whether you go to the game or just the State Fair, its going to be Pretty Legendary (PL? get it?
)

For those of you non-native Texans (aka all of you), floating the river is a little slice of heaven. You get to kick back all day on a big ‘ol Texas-sized tube with your drink of choice and let the Comal River cool you off. The water will be cool, the accents will be thick and that’s all you need to know! So, grab your sun screen, tanning oil, glasses, less than appropriate swim-wear and meet us on September 11th (Sunday) for so much fun you won’t know what to do with it. Here’s the Plan: -We are all meeting at J26 at 11:30 A.M. and plan on getting back around 7 (ish) so we’ll float the river for about three hours. -The cost will be $20, which covers the cost for transportation and tube rental. -There are 116 spots and they will fill up quick so act swiftly! You can either pay online at www.planetlonghorn.net and click the “donate” button OR You can meet an officer on campus and give them your cash. Our President, Lauren Brandewie will be collecting money this Thursday from 4:00-6:00 P.M. at Starbucks off 24th and San Antonio Zach Caballero will be collecting money in the Union first floor from 10:00 to 12:00 a.m. Any questions, please let us know! As always, Hook ‘Em, Peace, Love, and Planet Longhorn.
