ilaas spring bbq recap!

ah yes, what a great day to have a bbq.... in an apartment!

well, as most of you probably knew, the spring bbq location was changed to apt 25 in the 1109 stoughton building (robin's apt), due to the awfully chilly weather *sob*...

i'm glad a lot of you came over to hang out, eat, talk, laugh, play, and all that good stuff! also, i hope vickie didn't get sick after sacrificing herself by cooking all the food on the grill for a good 4 hours! cheers to you, vickie!

alas, the new officers are starting to now take over the ilaas organization. very soon as well, i (ben) will not be your webmaster anymore. instead, it will be tri. it's gonna be awesome next year! woo woo!

ice skating recap (written by our new co-social chair kevin ho)!

Thank you all for coming to the skating at ice arena last Friday. Our
social co-chair Jenni had the best record with 9 falls, the last 8 were
continuous within 5 minutes, very prodigious. Treasurer Robin was too busy
taking care of Jenni so he didn't get to fall. Webmaster Ben with his
innovative nature found some new way to have fun as usual... shovel off the
ice from the rink and made snowball to throw on people. President Mark had a
good split while I was taking his picture.. VP external Mike had some kind of
phobia that his hand will get cut off by blades.. so he stay on the bench as a
security guard and coat keeper. I personally had a good fall, face down..
flat.. VP internal Karen was the most skillful one.. I don't remember she
fall.. overall the net fall is 9+1+0.5+?=?

recap of the ilaas dinner and gamenight!

it was great! all of us first headed over to yen jing buffet to get our eat on. i personally had two full plates of food, and then another plate devoted entirely to dessert. anyway, after that, we headed over to the new evo internet cafe to hang out, drink cool bubble tea (if you were a member, you got a free drink from us), and play tons of games, including awesome board games, card games, and of course a couple computer games upstairs. a good handful of us ended up staying there until 4:00 in the morning. it was pretty crazy.

if you didn't get to make it to our dinner and gamenight, don't worry, we'll be doing numerous events all semester long. keep checking your email and this website!

hey there!

we at ilaas want to start the year off with a blast, so we thought it'd be cool to join forces with hawaii club (http://www.uiuc.edu/ro/hawaii) and go paintballing!

if you're interested, sign up a.s.a.p. because space is limited to 20 people (since you can't have too many people inside the field at the same time).

all the details of when/where/how, etc., are in vickie's email. read it in the activities section!
