BIG GAME!!! (and GSC Tailgate) Saturday, November 21 at 14:00 CA Contact: Shandor (sgd@stanford.edu) Stanford Football is finally emerging from the darkness of the 00's, and looks to cement its place in the AP Rankings after demolishing USC with the dismissal of Cal. Be There! And Free Food at the GSC Tailgate is also Nice! Meet at 2PM at Willis to walk over to the BBQ, and we'll mosey in to the game by 3. If you don't have enough priority points to get in early, we'll see if we can put a 'late comers' group together too. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Game_(football) for more information --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Board games! Tuesday, November 24 at 20:00 CA Contact: Joanna (jl3@stanford.edu) Sticking around for Thanksgiving break? Well, you still need some fun time! Come join us for board games and snacks on Tuesday, Nov 24 at 8 p.m. in Willis. We'll have a bunch of games, and if you have favorites that you own feel free to bring those too. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Thanksgiving Eve picnic and hike Wednesday, November 25 at 10:00 CA Contact: Joanna (jl3@stanford.edu) Thanksgiving Eve is such a nice time to go for a hike, which is why I've made it an annual tradition. For one, you need to work up an appetite before Thanksgiving :) Plus it's so nice and cool outside! Let's meet up for a hike and picnic, carpooling from Willis at 10 a.m. We'll check out Los Trancos with trails on the San Andreas Fault (yes, you can actually see the shift in the land from past earthquakes!) We'll also hike a pretty trail at Skyline Ridge with ponds. Hopefully we can see turtles, fish, or ducks. We'll go no more than about 6 miles, and will be back around 3:30 or 4. I'll even provide a picnic - but let me know if you might come so I know how much food to buy! Please bring: water, sturdy shoes, some warm clothing layers, possibly a rain jacket depending on the forecast. Sign up (as yes or maybe coming): http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEtwdzFOLUJ0RzBZd3ZhNElfM1BDRXc6MA Hiking info if you're curious: http://bahiker.com/southbayhikes/lostrancos.html http://bahiker.com/southbayhikes/skyline1.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Why I Want What I Can't Have Monday, November 30 at 19:00 CA Contact: Josh (joshgc@stanford.edu) Do you feel like you are too picky to be in a relationship/are never satisfied? Or have been in a number of relationships are confused about what to do when the "magic"/"chemistry"/ "spark" fades away? Or maybe none of these apply to you but you'd like to attend a kick butt talk. You won't want to miss this discussion on relationship/communications issues with Donnovan Yisrael from Health Promotion Services. It will be insightful, thought- provoking, and definitely hilarious! We'll start at 7 p.m. in the Buttery on Nov. 30. We will serve food, but we ask that if you come for the food, you stay for the talk. Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Brewfest! Saturday, December 5 at 15:00 CA Contact: Gary (gshambat@stanford.edu) Celebrate the end of classes with some fancy, home-brewed Rains beer. Our brewers have sweated and toiled with the hops and yeast so that you may enjoy a classy quality beverage. A sneak peak at beers to come include a toasted carmel hef and an ESB! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. A Chanticleer Christmas Holiday Concert Thursday, December 10 at 20:00 CA Contact: Jeanine (jlfrey@stanford.edu) Rains is headed to see a Chanticleer Christmas Holiday Concert on Dec 10th at 8pm.

"Share the joy of the season with family and friends as the Grammy- winning "orchestra of voices" performs its beloved holiday program amid the rich acoustics and ornate interior of Memorial Church. Hailed as "the world's reigning male chorus" (The New Yorker), Chanticleer brings its trademark precision and inspiration to centuries of holiday repertoire, including rareties of Gregorian chant, American gospel classics, and plenty of everyone's favorite Christmas carols."
