LAAB Trivia Night

Starrett Berry — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:33:41 +0000

Good morning. In less than a week, students on this email will join others from around the school and you will be participating in the largest academic challenge in the history of the Trojans. Trojans, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty school loyalties any more. We will be united in our common egotistical belief that we are smarter. Perhaps it’s fate that today is Groundhog Day, and you will be stuck in this competition for the rest of your life. Not in athletic ability, occupational performance, or financial success, but useless fact recall. We’re competing for our right to brag, to talk shit. And should we win the day, the 7th of February will no longer be known as a random day on the calendar, but as the day we declared to the Gould School of Law in one voice, “We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on, We’re going to survive!” Today, we celebrate LAAB TRIVIA NIGHT!!!!!!!!

The Winter Trip has come and gone, but now’s your chance to spread the word! If you went on the trip, PLEASE tell us what you got out of it. Either comment on Facebook, the LAAB Website, or email (Evan.Goldsmith@gmail.com). We’re going to put your comments up on our website making you the next internet celebrity. YOU can be the next honey badger! Also, we want pictures/videos you took down there. Please email those to Evan.Goldsmith@gmail.com. Pictures may be added to the website, and the pictures/video will be compiled into a presentation on exactly what we did in San Diego. Pictures from our nights out are acceptable, but use your judgment and ensure that they’re SFW.

Hey all – yesterday’s meeting was great (who can complain about fried chicken, biscuits, and LAAB board members jabbing away about who we are and what we do).

For anyone who missed it, you can view the presentation here, and can contact any of us with any questions, or to join the mailing list, or be a 1L rep!
