First Event Recap

Matt Ellis wrote the following recap of the first event at the Schlafly Bottleworks. Sadly no known photos are available. If someone has one, even a camera phone picture of low quality, send it to the email below.

I wish that I could have attended the event I helped coordinate, but a catastrophe erupted at my office at about 2pm, and I wound up working until midnight that night, and fifteen hours or so on each of Saturday and Sunday, as a result. I really wanted to go, but it would have been tough to explain to the client that I managed to squeeze in an evening of alcoholic revelry, and that was the reason her appeal was not filed on time. (It was filed on time, and all is well.)

The next event looks like a Blues game at Scottrade. Bowling was making a late push, but I don't think that it will overtake the hockey game.

Matt's narrative:

Well, a big thank you to everyone who made the first event of the KE Alumni Division a success!

If you are one of those who did not attend the event at Schlafly‘s Bottleworks, then you missed out on fun and drinks with some of Kappa Epsilon’s finest gentlemen; in particular, Adam Muehl, Matt Asikainen, Josh Nast, Tom Schmidt, Steve Stull, myself and even a brief appearance of the elusive Michael Kupermann. Daniel Simpson, unfortunately, had a work crisis at the last minute and could not attend the event he, himself, planned. We had a drink for you Dan, and thanks for setting up what is hopefully the first of many great Alumni events!

Many of us have not seen each other in quite a while, even though we live in the same city, so these events are a good opportunity to reconnect with area brothers. I highly recommend to everyone that when an event comes up, to try and make an effort to attend. I promise you won’t be sorry.

Dan and myself will be letting you guys know soon of our next Alumni event (most likely a Blues game) so keep checking the blog. Also, if anyone is in contact with actives in the area, please urge them to attend these events as well, so that the area alumni can keep up with what’s going on back in the KC

Thanks to all who attended and hope to see more of all the Alumni at future events.

In the bonds,
Matt Ellis

First Event: Part 2

The votes are in, and a sizeable majority of the group has selected:

Friday, December 14th, 2007 at the Schlafly Bottleworks in Maplewood.

Arrive sometime between 7pm and 8pm or shortly thereafter. I will get there around 7pm or so and get a couple tables in the bar together. A few of you should feel free to get there at 7pm to help me out.

I hope those of you that voted for other dates can make it. I also hope at least one member of the active chapter can swing by. Women are welcome if they don't mind sitting around with a bunch of guys. I suggest bringing cash so that splitting the tab is easier. Adam Muehl: the first one is on me.

I am looking forward to this and I hope you are as well.

Call me at 314-630-3966 with any questions or for directions.
