Two weekends ago was the Second Annual UC Berkeley ASA Lake Tahoe Trip. I just gave a long official title to an event that doesn’t really have one. But I think the gaudy title is well-deserved considering how much fun its been both times and how much of a tradition its likely to (or already has) become.
Last year we had just over 40 people in the group and the three-story cabin was so large you’d get lost in it. This year we weren’t so fortunate with the cabin available to us so the group of almost 50 just barely fit. But it was good enough. As usual we took a charter bus over there from Berkeley. Except this year my cousin Ara came along on the trip with us. My brother Ara was there too. So was another guy new to the ASA who has the same name as my cousin Ara including middle initial. It goes without saying that this made for some confusing times on the trip.
So I just realized that there is no point to more details recapping Tahoe events since my brother has done a pretty good job of recapping himself on his blog. Plus he beat me to it. So all credit to him and if you wanna hear the whole story, please follow this link to his blog and read his Tahoe post.
What I will say again is that I had an incredible time. It was also great that my cousin Ara took our advice and made the trip up to join us. To all my other friends and family in LA, don’t say we didn’t tell ya. I’m also quite please that I remembered to take my iPod and the cable to hook it up to a stereo at the last minute before leaving. If I hadn’t we would have had almost no music to party to. What a shame that would have been…
And the best idea I heard while in Tahoe (I can’t remember if it was mine)…? Next year rent a cabin next to the ASA cabin for the alums! Only because I think we’ll be so many all together that one won’t hold us. I’m looking forward to it.
Lastly, Tahoe photos will be forthcoming as soon as I stop by and leech photos from the folks who took digicams there. I can’t depend on the ASA web site to have it up anytime soon (sorry Karen). Fortunately, Ara is the proud new owner of a gorgeous, amazing, Canon PowerShot SD300 digital camera as of yesterday and this won’t be a problem for us anymore this semester. Until I move away and I better buy one for myself then.
