Hello all,

This is a quick and friendly reminder for our event Saturday, May 3rd!  Details below. Please mark your calendars as we'd love to have you, and who doesn't want to celebrate with a great Penn tradition?!

See you then! 

Ps. Have any ideas for us? We'd love to hear. Please don't hesitate to shoot Lea an email - Spring Fling-themed or not :)

SPRING FLING 
Vegas's first inaugural satellite spring fling celebration! 
An event for all ages, but specially geared toward families and young alumni - kids welcomed, and encouraged! See time details below.


WHAT: Spring Fling, Vegas-style in #dtlv (downtown Las Vegas)
WHEN: Saturday, May 3rd
      +2pm - 5pm Family and future itty bitty alumni activities (games, prizes, and more!)
      +5pm - 8pm Young alumni drinking games and social hour (also games, prizes, and more - with an adult twist)
WHERE: Gold Spike downtown | 217 Las Vegas Blvd North (Las Vegas Blvd and 4th, across from the Downtown Grand)
PARK: There are parking lots on the northeast and northwest corners of LVB & Ogden. 


What to expect...
We love Penn. We *all* loved Spring Fling. One of our hallmark campus events, we wanted to bring the spirit and fun of a carnival celebration to Vegas, creating a special event for families and the greater younger alumni community to come together, but also fun for all ages!
We'll have fun games - surprises we're bringing as well as the great over-sized fun Gold Spike provides - a treat if you haven't been there yet. In addition, we'll have some awesome Penn swag and prizes that we'll be giving away. 
Gold Spike has a massive indoors and outdoors space for all ages to play, eat, and drink in. This is a no-host event, but there will be specials provided by Gold Spike and announced next week.
Another PS - The "ice" skating rink is still up... how's that for full on irony and fun :)

Thanks all! So looking forward to this! Don't miss out on the fun :)

See you Saturday!

About The Brubeck Brothers:
For Chris and Dan Brubeck, carrying on the family name means music is a way of life. The gifted sons of legendary jazz musician Dave Brubeck aren’t just cashing in on the Brubeck name. Instead, they choose to energize audiences with a distinctive blend of jazz, rock and classical music that their fans can cozy up to.


The Brubeck Brothers Quartet is an exciting jazz group featuring two members of one of America's most accomplished musical families, Daniel Brubeck (drums,) and Chris Brubeck (bass & trombone.) Guitarist Mike DeMicco, and pianist Chuck Lamb, complete this dynamic quartet.  They have performed at concert series, colleges, and jazz festivals across North America and Europe including the Newport, Detroit, Ravinia, Las Vegas, Sedona, Spokane & Monterey Jazz Festivals.  Their hour long concert at Sierra Nevada Brewery has been broadcast on  the nationally syndicated program: "Sierra Center Stage".  The BBQ was chosen to kick off the New Year with an hour long, coast-to-coast live broadcast on "Toast of the Nation" on National Public Radio.  Their new Koch release, Classified, has already earned this rave review from All About Jazz: "Once again the BBQ attains that rarefied level where music is both relaxed and expressive, and their joy in its creation is contagious. There's really nothing out there that comes close to their unique brand of inventiveness."
