Third Event: Happy Hour!
Friday, April 11th at 7pm (or so) at Weber's Front Row in Webster Groves. Webers is a fairly centrally-located goodtime foodrinkery, with many televisions and tasty vittles.
There is a Cardinals game that night in San Francisco, which will certainly be on the big screen. For those un-American non-baseball fans, darts are also available.
We had a high turnout and great time at the Blues game event (though things did not go well for the Blues after that game...). This event should be no different!
Please email me at stlpikes@gmail.com and let me know if you plan on attending. I will be there! Who else? Significant others are welcome...
Address for Google Maps: 8169 Big Bend Blvd, Webster Groves, MO 63119

Report: Founders' Day 2008
This excellent 2008 Founders' Day Report is courtesy of Josh Nast:
The weekend started with a good showing of Alumni, actives and girlfriends at Teocali. I think Br. [Enrique] Guiterrez can thank Eric Enright alone for making sure Teocali stays in business for the next several months, I can only imagine what his bar tab ended up being.
I was not in attendence for the trap shoot, but Cory [Atkins] told me about a handful of brothers showed up for this event and the people at the range would be more than happy to make that an annual event. Brothers were given lessons if need be, and 25 clay pigeons to shoot at.
Afterwards there were probably around 30-40 alumni and just as many actives at the football game. And from the first time in history the alums spanked the actives! The game was a little delayed due to a high school girls soccer game, so we had to stand around and watch them (oh damn!)
After a quick shower and change most everyone came back to Massman gallery for a Teocali catered dinner and had a chance pre-dinner to speak with Fr. Curran. The active attendance was pretty low, but apparently there was a pledge event that was at the same time. The pledges later showed up and helped clean plates away from the tables.
That night concluded with chapter president, Tim Opitz giving a state-of-the-chapter address. With the projected numbers KE will have 95 active members with this spring's rush!
For all those of age, the after party was moved to Charlie Hoopers where Kappa Epsilon and guests took over one corner of the bar.
I was able to briefly mention Stlpikes to Br. Opitz who said he will bring it up at the next chapter, and I made sure to personally tell every alum from St. Louis about the site.
PPKA,
Nast

NCAA Basketball Brackets!
While we await the report from Justin Coomes or someone who attended Founders' Day in Kansas City, feel free to visit the ESPN page below and enter a bracket in the NCAA (Men's) Basketball Tournament.
Few things are certain in these brackets: Each 16 seed will lose in the first round, at least one 12 seed will win over a 5 seed, and Kuperman will pick Arkansas as the national champion. Otherwise, it is wide open.
You may have gotten an email about this, just to make sure I am covering all my bases.
The league title is: Stlpikes

Good luck to everyone, especially those who pick an early Kansas exit!
