Thirsty Third Thursday, March 18, 2010
The green of spring is covering the Reed campus while East Coast Reedies continue to live under a deep blanket of white. Whatever color your yard is, at least your beer can be green! Protract your St. Patrick's Day celebrations to join Reedies on March 18 for a menu that extends to museums and career networking as well. Also, since this date falls during spring break, this invitation has been extended to current students who might be home for the vacation.
RSVP if you can. Hosts really appreciate knowing how many people are coming, so they know how big of a table to save, but if you're not sure, come anyway. If there's not an event near you, but you would like to get one started, send email to alumni@reed.edu.

Join fellow south peninsula-area Reedies at a classic location. The Alpine Inn (née Zot's) is a relaxed beer and burger joint in Portola Valley, which is easy to get to from I-280. Weather permitting, we meet in the back outside at a table near the fence closest to the parking lot.
Look for the purple stuffed Griffin and/or Reed pennant on the table. We have a few regulars, and a larger number of fascinating Reedies who drop in once or infrequently.
Directions: Take Alpine Road west from I-280 for two miles. Take a left on Arastradero, and an immediate right into the parking lot. There is a clearly marked left turn lane here; it is a unique feature. Proceed very carefully: visibility is poor and bicyclists abound. If you hit Portola Road on the right, you've gone too far.
Keep an eye out for cyclists!

For March we're going to an institution (it's on the National Register of Historic Buildings!), Ear Inn, a.k.a. the Green Door, just north of Tribeca on Spring Street. Built for James Brown (not that James Brown), the Ear Inn is in one of the very few Federal-style buildings substantially left in its original form in the city. Take in the history, the food, and a few pints of the good stuff as we ride out the last TTT of the winter (if the Punxsutawney rodent is to be believed).
