Subject: Beer is better than just standing around...

 

Well, as my beer call has been delayed by the fire alarm I thought I would

point out an important fact:  if you are going to be driven out of your

office by fire alarms and construction, you might as well go to Koerner's. 

The only painfully loud noises you may hear will be the hockey game and

beer czar's unmuffled rants.

 

Addressing the concerns from some/most grads and I will ignore the advice

I received when becoming beer czar.  At least for the next little while,

the march over to Koerner's will depart from the front of CICSR at 5pm. 

This may change when I get lazier and want the weekend to start earlier.

:)

 

An earlier version of this list was sent to some people but it was

considerably ruder, so here is the cleaner, hopefully less offensive

version.  Enjoy and see you tonight.
