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!

Mom said don’t eat food and then play sports, PL says why not do both at the same time?! Especially when it’s BBQ and kickball!!
Come out and grill and getch’yo game on (with your feet):

• When: Sunday March 28th 2010

• Where: Pease Park (off Lamar)

• Time: 1:00 pm

• Sport Description: An intense mix of soccer and baseball… don’t worry we’ll teach you how to play!

Some people will be driving so meet at 26th and Rio Grande, otherwise get some exercise and walk!!

Our first softball game starts at 5:00 at the IM Fields on Field 5 so come out and cheer us on afterwards!

What’s a hullabaloo? Don’t worry about it. It’s gonna be huge.

See you there!

For those who didn’t make the informational meeting but are still interested in becoming a Planet Longhorn officer:

Complete the one-page application (print off the link below), and bring it to next week’s meeting (April 27th). Also be prepared to make a 1-2 minutes speech about why you are a good candidate for the position(s) you are running for. There is a limit of 2 positions for which you can run! We will announce the new Fall 2011 officer board at the meeting after that, also the last meeting, on 5/4.

Anyone is encouraged to run regardless of your length of involvement in PL. One of the coolest things about this organization is upward mobility! If you don’t plan on running, we hope you’ll come to vote!

If you have any questions, or can’t find the application online in the next couple of days, feel free to email me or Liana at liana.depew@gmail.com.

Hey Everyone!

Doug and Paul here to remind everyone that the Distinguished Visionary Scholarship applications are due on April 1st! I know we’ve been a little disorganized with having the applications available, so we’ll actually accept applications all the way through this Sunday… as Maria said today… its your typical Planet Longhorn deadline… not a deadline at all! But yaa just email the file below to Paul and I by Sunday night by 11PM, and it will be no problem. The finished file should be sent to yacek.d@gmail.com and paul.mccloud@gmail.com.

Remember… you don’t NEED to have been a major contributor to the organization already, but you should plan to be of course! We’re looking forward to reading the apps and getting some great ideas about PL in the future!

Here is a link to the file: Scholarship Application Form

Here’s to free money!

Extra points if you dress as crazy as Lady Gaga. Seriously that girl is insane

We know you’re beautiful. You know you’re beautiful. All these poor Texans walking around 6th St. in their old t-shirts and jeans just don’t stand a chance. That’s why Planet Longhorn is throwing a masquerade ball, a chance for everyone to dress up in their best clothes, look even better than before, and have a classy evening out on the town… at least until the party ends, then the classiness is up to you. But since you’re already so good looking, we’re making it a masquerade ball so everyone else on 6th St. doesn’t get sad about how bad they look and go home early.

We’ve rented out the entire second level at Aces Lounge on 6th St. for the ball! It starts at 8:15 PM SHARP and will go until 10:30 PM or whenever you want to leave! Prices are as follows:

Over 21: $25, includes food, cover, and 4 drink tickets to be used before 10:30

Age 18-20: $15, includes food, cover, and unlimited nonalcoholic drinks

PLEASE RSVP and pay ahead of time so we can make sure to have enough food! We will be collecting money at the Starbucks on 24th and San Antonio (near the Castilian) on:

Sunday, Feb. 28 from 2-5:00 pm

Lucy in Disguise down on South Congress (A really fun Austin-y shopping area to go to anyways) has a great collection of masks, decorate your own, or have an artistic friend paint one on with facepaint!

We look forward to seeing you! Even if we don’t recognize you behind your mask, we’ll still pretend we recognize you until like 20 minutes later when we finally figure it out!
