• Extra-special thanx to Eli for graciously stepping in last week as acting secretary when yours truly was unavoidably detained.
• Lexie gave us a cheery greeting and expressed her sorrow at having missed last week's meeting. The Tabachnick term begins...now!
• Laura: Accio MSI! That is...let's go see the Harry Potter exhibit! It's rather expensive (26 bucks apiece unless we get a big group), despite being history and thus invaluable. Let Laura know when you wanna go so that we can organize.
• Avi: Tuesday @ 9PM is Study Break PLUS House Lottery drawing. There'll also be a sheet outside the RH apartment for y'all to indicate your housing plans for the year to come. Come early (8:30) for a Q&A about housing and Miel...that is, meal plans.
• Monday is the deadline for Passover food refund. Get thee to the housing office and fill out a form if you plan to observe.
• RA interviews starting Weds. at 8PM and Sun. at 1PM. Come to interrogate nice people who want to make us study breaks next year.
  
• Thursday is Movie Night featuring JUNGLE 2 JUNGLE. Do not miss this nuanced and sensitive piece of cinematic greatness.
• Laura, after being cruelly abandoned by Avi, is leading an ice cream adventure on Friday to iCream (lolz), where robots or something make frozen desserts.
  
• O-Aide apps are due the 12th. There is a little electronic recommendation formy thing (to quote Laura) that you need to send to the Schwableys right pronto if you want one. Remember: put something other than House O-Aide first if you really want to be back here, because this will increase ur chances.
• Bestest Study Break of Winter Quarter is...Irish Soda Bread and Potato Soup, made by returning champions Blexie. (thanks, Vincentians!)
• Anees: like walking miles and miles? Well...we are going to, probably down Clark St. with stops for lunch, ice cream, and what have you...when it's warmer, natch.
• Also, let's go to stand-up club! And also the Point! These will be events in the near future and possibly during the week. Check yo' calendars!
• Also also, the Vincent awards are to be looked forward to. And the Indiana Dunes trip (awesome, debateably fake beach).
  
• Laura informed us that beach can refer to any strip of pebbly or sandy terrain next to a body of water (not just the ocean).
• Given that our TV remote has gotten a little too remote (possibly stolen by Chamberlain?), I (Blair) am shipping a giant novelty universal remote from my house to donate to the lounge. No guarantees about whether or how well it will work.
• Want to redesign the lounge? We need a comprehensive proposal to get things moving, so if you want to exercise your inner Paige Davis, let Lexie know and get working on a plan.
• Lexie will post an ad to Marketplace to sell the old TV and get it outta the lounge.
• Next Saturday, Lexie is going to take a trip to Pilsen, which everyone is invited to join in on. Viva Pilsen!
• A Second City trip is in the works. Utterly uproarious comedy for 20 bucks during the week, 25 on the weekends. An email is forthcoming.
• Softball, floor hockey, and innertube water polo deadlines are this Wednesday. Email Khyle with your ID number ASAP if you want to play. Go Large Roosters!
• Got ideas for how to allocate house funds (less for subsidies, more for capitol improvements, etc.?) Email Lexie or Felipe.
• Berenice: sign up for community service on April 18! Lunch and transportation will be provided. Anees added that it's super fun and fulfilling, and you can make friends (Eli).
• Next Saturday the Singapore Society will be having a Texas Hold 'Em tournament (remember those mysterious card pyramids?) at Ida Noyes from 4-6PM. Lectures, dinner, and card gaming with glamorous prizes! Get tix ($10 for dinner and 1 buy-in) from Thum or Gaius.
• Anne sez: tomorrow from 7-8 is salsa dancing at Ida Noyes for five bux. Awesome sexy time with awesome sexy people.
• 539.13 in our house coffers, says Mickey, and upon arrival of BJC money it should surpass 600. Also, buy books from the lounge (paperbacks 5 bucks, hardcovers 10, and textbooks 20). Pay Mickey and let Ben know what you bought.
  

Vinnie: Khyle and Berenice for their dramatic prowess, Ben for Hamlet and dinner makin'
Weenie: Sunshine for thinking Vincent is an advisor, Laura for basically calling Jen fat
Phrase of the Week: "You know anything about Pokemon? 'Cause I wanna take a Pikachu" (get it?)
