Twain House Meeting Notes, Nov 8-Nov 15

   Apologies for last week's lack of house meeting notes. Fortunately, nothing worthwhile happened.

Upcoming Events

   The week before Big Game is Big Twain week. There will be a fun yet unspecified activity every evening. Alli Bell would tell you the events, but then she'd have to kill me. I mean you.

   Want to eat BBQ before Gaieties Fri Nov 17 at 8:00 PM? Want a bus ride to Big Game the morning of Sat Nov 18? Want to find true love and happiness by Sun Nov 19? Alli Bell can help with the first two if you see her before 3 PM Fri Nov 10.

   Tue Nov 14 at noon the Tri-Delts are holding a Children's Cancer Benefit Auction in White Plaza. Bid and appease your conscience.

   Thanks to our cultural attaché, Twain is going to Alcatraz on Sun Nov 19. Meet at 11 AM in front of Bechtel. Transportation and admission are a measly $7.75. And though they do look lovely when they catch the light, please leave the deadly toxin capsules at home.

   We are playing Broomball the evening of Thu Nov 30. No opponent has yet dared to oppose us; at the current rate, we may have no choice but to play with ourselves.

Twain puts the bop in the bop-shoo-bop-shoo-bop

   Freshman Formal is evening of Fri Nov 10. The theme is Secret Agent 004, implying the entire freshman class has a license to kill. Dress your best and head to Jamba Juice!

   The Twain Formal / Semiformal / Dance / Prom is Sat Nov 11 from 10-1 in East Lounge. Printed invitations are available for your hoi polloi friends who refuse to attend unless they receive a piece of paper in an envelope.

IMs

   Sat Oct 21 5:00 PM is frisbee. Sun Oct 22 10:15 AM is inner tube water polo. Sun Oct 22 12:00 noon is football.

Twain Matters

   People have been breaking into the dining hall through the tray return bussing station. In a related story, my faith in humanity dwindles even further.

   Cathie thinks we can try harder. Try harder, Twain! For Cathie!

   Mary is making a Twain contact list. Please send samary@stanford.edu your name, e-mail, phone, cell, fax, ICQ, AIM, SSN, and mother's maiden name ASAP.

   We're going to vote on the grape boycott. Even if the servery boycotts grapes, you can still eat them in the privacy of your own room. There are no fascist grape police who will patrol the hallways with fruit-sniffing Dobermans.

   Alli has used our "Get Out of Jail Free Card" to avoid a $350 water damage bill. She as a feeling our next card might be "Go Directly To Jail" (or maybe "Win Second Prize in a Beauty Contest"), so don't break things.

   We are $60 short on the Chevy's bill. I know the only thing worse than overpaying for bad Mexican food is overpaying for bad Mexican food and still coming up short--but give Alli a buck or two if you underpaid.

   Pablo is selling See's Candies to raise money for his school. Don't feel obligated to buy anything, but remember: Arcadio knows where you live (Twain).
