Purchase Your Tickets to Campo Reunion

Just a quick post to let you know tons of our classmates are taking advantage of the early bird deals and buying  tickets to the reunion now!

I just ordered mine, so get on it. It's going to be a great night. The committee has done a fantastic job hunting down classmates and letting them know the when and where. We still need your help in spreading the word and building momentum so post on Facebook, comment on this blog, or Tweet with campo90 in your message once you've purchased your tickets!


Here are the details again:

We've set the date for October 9, 2010!!!  It will be Cougar Territory at 1515 Restaurant and Bar in Downtown Walnut Creek, which means the other kind of "cougars" will be temporarily displaced around town for the night;) 

When you purchase tickets before September 15th they are only $50 (plus service fee) per ticket. 

Party starts at 6 p.m. so get your dancing shoes ready... 

We will increase ticket prices to $60/person (+ service fee) starting September 15th until October 1st at which point on-line ticket sales will end. 

After October 1st, all ticket sales will increase to $75/person and can be purchased in person at 1515 on the day of the event.

We also have special rates at the Renaissance ClubSport (please refer to "Travelers" section) so make sure to book rooms early so we can continue late into the nite!

PS- sorry for any typos or misspellings, I have a 4 week old baby in the Lil LambSwing and I'm trying to type this post before she gets too fussy and I'm back on duty.

Deja Vu: Earthquakes are shaking things up in the Bay Area

The Campo Class of 90 Reunion Committee got together again yesterday and we're one step closer to announcing some big details about our reunion weekend. Until we have those details, I thought I'd share a little of the conversations from yesterday gathering at Jessica (Nevin) O'Dea's house.

EARTHQUAKES

The topic of recent earthquakes around California and the Bay Area (I didn't feel a single one), had us reliving stories about where we were when the big one of 89' hit.  It's probably one of the first events in life where you remember exactly where you were. Our parents remember where they were when they learned Kennedy was shot and for us Generation X'ers it's all about the 89' Earthquake and 9/11.

So do you remember where you were? And with whom?

MY STORY
J Epps and I were at my parents house, ironically looking through one of my sister's yearbooks and determining that nothing REALLY exciting had happened during our high school years. When all of the sudden the shaking started and then the rolling, and finally the realization....we better get out of here!

From there ensued a very dramatic homecoming week that included power outages, school closures, and phone lines down. We were glued to the whopping 12 channels on TV providing updates on rescues in the Marina and people trapped in the Bay Bridge destruction.

So where were you and what do you remember about that week? Anyone at the A's /Giants World Series? Share your story in the comments section!

And then, click over the official Reunion Site. at www.campo90.myevent.com. Find your Profile under the Classmates section and Upload  a new pic today. My picture is looking sad out there by itself people. Then you can also go to Photo Albums and upload pics from you and your friends from high school days to share.

The countdown is on, get involved! Forward the link to a friend that may not know we started this mission.

Until next time, cheers!
