Palo Alto Pub Night 6/8 7-9 Palo Alto Catherine Baker '97

Since the first Friday of the month falls squarely in the thick of Reunions, pub night moves to the second Friday (June 8). For those who won't have made it all the way back, this'll be a good chance to hear about Reunions wackiness -- the costumes, the mud, the P-Rade, the abundance of babies at the 10th, your weird former roommate who's now inexplicably normal (or vice versa...), etc. :-)

Date: Friday 6/8
Time: 7-9
Location: Fanny and Alexander, Palo Alto

Take an After-Dinner Drink at the Old Mint! 6/14 8-10 San Francisco Kim Smith '03
Young Alumni drinks at a new SOMA hotspot

Join other young alumni at one of Zagat's top rated newcomer bars to the San Francisco SoMA scene: Mint Lounge (http://mintloungesf.com/, 415-625-8880). It is tucked in the Old Mint building, so please be on the look-out for the orange and black contingent.

The short-lived Bar of Contemporary Art has ceded its Old Mint building space to this new SoMa venue that's a laid-back affair featuring high ceilings, cement floors and minimalist decor; DJs spin regularly, and the spot draws those eager to kick back post-work (with a $3 happy-hour martini) or after shopping at the nearby Westfield Centre.

Date: Thursday 6/14
Time: 8-10
Location: The Mint Lounge, San Francisco
Address: 414 Jessie St. @ Mint St.
RSVP: Please RSVP by June 12 to the contact listed below.

Sunday in the Park with PCNC 6/24 12-5 San Francisco Chrissy Holland '03
Walking tour of several highlights of Golden Gate Park

Enjoy a Sunday afternoon walking tour of some of the old and new highlights of Golden Gate Park, all of them free. After meeting near Kezar Stadium at the southeast corner of the park, we will take a zig-zag route that includes the Children's Playground with its 1912 Carousel, the AIDS Memorial Grove, the observation tower in the new DeYoung Museum, a long circuit of the San Francisco Botanical Garden (Strybing Arboretum), and a climb up Strawberry Hill in the middle of Stow Lake. Depending on the time and group energy level, we may head farther west into the less-visited forests west of Stow Lake. We will return to the starting point by 5 p.m. via the S.F. Muni's N-Judah line ($1.50 fare). Bring snacks, and dress for San Francisco summer weather (either chill fog or warm sun). Princeton friends and family are welcome, and strollers are feasible.

The meeting place is accessible via BART with a transfer to the N-Judah line outbound at the Civic Center Station. Get off at Stanyan Street and walk one block north to Frederick. Parking may be available in a lot near the intersection of Frederick and Stanyan.

RSVP is helpful, but not required.
