I've asked Age to consolidate all the threads into one, as we usually do in these cases.[/quote]

I think I got 'em all...

So is anybody besides me watch at Blonde, Brunette & A Redhead?  I should be there by tipoff, with any luck.

This is now a joint event with the Cornell Club of Boston and the Stanford Young Alumni of Boston.  Come root for the Big Red as we welcome our alumni friends from Stanford for some friendly jawing as our teams battle it out on the court.

Questions:  Tom Pasniewski at thp1@cornell.edu

[jaybert]

for the one @ the cornell club bar tap & grill, it says all alumni are welcome.  I'm guessing this means no membership required?  Also, what about friends? They're not alumni.  

I tried calling but keep getting a busy or disconnected tone.  Guess I will try again later today

I had the same question, please let us know if you find out.

Also whether they're going to bring in a projection screen or something... the TVs at the bar are small and somewhat sight obstructed.
