FRIDAY, AUGUST 7:
HELLO! MIXER
8pm to ? · Rudyard's British Pub,
2010 Waugh Dr

Live music upstairs, relaxed bar downstairs, yummy burgers and other tasty food until 10:30. Probably better for grownups only, but kids are allowed in Rudz, the attached restaurant.

Dress: hottie or grungy casual, as you wish!

SATURDAY, AUGUST 8:
HSPVA KICKOFF 1-3pm · 4001 Stanford St

Happening put together by Tania Rivas

Yes, there will be cake! And iced tea and coffee. And if Tania Rivas has anything to say about it, live music by PVA alums - come and jam with friends or stake out some time to show off. Tania would love it if you'd contact her at taniaion@yahoo.com to set that up.

Got kids? With enough interest, we’ll get sitters to help them do simple craft projects while you mingle – small extra charge might be necessary(5$ or so per family, depending on numbers) - So far we've only had request for sitters for 4 kids, so let us know if you need it that afternoon.

Dress: just be comfortable! Or trade what you're wearing for our Reunion T-shirts, which will be on sale for a very reasonable price, we promise.

REUNION
7-11pm · Bering & James Gallery, 805 Rhode Place #500

Map will be on the blog, listed seperately! Food, wine, beer, and valet parking included.
If you want to drink anything harder, byo (including mixers).

Adults only (carrier-able infants excepted)

Dress: Look good! (But no sequins or suits required.) We'll take a class picture that night.

POSTPARTY
Khon’s Bar, 2808 Milam St
Continue the vibe until 2 am at thisalumi-owned hot spot.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 9:
GOODBYE! POTLUCK BRUNCH
10-Noon · Discovery GreenAnheuser-Busch Stage · 1500 McKinney St

Bring a picnic lunch or some munchies to share - Friends and family are welcome to join in! If they're connected to you, they're invited.

If you're not up to a food run, there's also an on-site (and air-conditioned!) restaurant that opens at 11, right next to the stage. They have burgers, salads, and fabulous basil lemonade, among other things.

We get a prize perch above the lake - evidently, there's always a breeze. Watch the kids dash through fountains, sail toy boats, and clamber on the playscape. We'll bring ice water and lemonade!

Dress: as little and as sweat-wicking as possible!

Can't wait to see you!

FRI. 8/7 MIXER LOCATION SET!

To ring in our reunion weekend, we've schedule a little come-one-come-all mixer for Friday night, August 7, 8 p.m.-until, at Rudyard's in Montrose, just a stone's throw from PVA. Stop on by for drinks and darts and stay late, if you're interested in catching some live music. Scheduled to perform are White Rhino, Whorehound, and Trian Woodburns. Not interested in those bands? No problem! The music is upstairs and doesn't start until about 10 p.m., and there's plenty of room to sit and visit downstairs.
