Six Flags: Magic Mountain: Saturday February 2nd, 2008

Hi Everyone,

As requested, we are planning a trip to Six Flags: Magic Mountain. But, we will not be going on Thursday. The park is closed during the week this month, but the lines shouldn't be that bad since it's early in the season. The weather should be fine on Saturday, so no worries.

The cost is $27.00. Children under 48'' pay $17.00. Tickets can/should be purchased in the ticket office at USC in STU (near Tommy Trojan). There will be no charge for transportation, so we need drivers. We will meet at Wendy's at 8:30am. We will leave when we are either tired or sick to our stomachs, lol. I would recommend leaving before or after traffic hours.

The park hours are 10am-8pm on Saturday. I will bring a lunch, but don't feel obligated. A sign up sheet will be available this week.

Hope to see you all soon.

John

Thursday's Activity: January 24th, 2008: Getty Villa

Hi Everyone,

This Thursday we're going to the Getty Villa. We'll leave from Wendy's (on Hoover near the University Village) at 10am, and return sometime after lunch (2ish). Feel free to bring a lunch. We will carpool, so we need drivers! The cost is $5.00 per person. Students must sign up and pay by noon (12:00pm) on Wednesday. No refunds are available.

If you are a driver the address is:

17985 Pacific Coast Highway

Pacific Palisades, California 90272

It is not recommended that you "meet us there", unless you absolutely have to. Carpooling your friends to save them money is not only unfair and inappropriate, but it unintentionally excludes students from joining the carpool and does not reflect the spirit of the Trojan family. I hope I do not have to bring this issue up again.

I look forward to seeing you all soon. Until Thursday, study hard and Fight On!
