Reed Diaspora Pizza
Good arguments don't end at graduation, the debate will always continue. You may defend that deep dish rules with thick, layered taste. Or, you may find heaven in a slice of thin, folded in half. You can believe that ketchup is the best thing on pizza, or prefer goat cheese and artichoke hearts. Is your bacon Canadian? Pepperoni dry? Tomatoes cooked or fresh?
Since the Class of 2010 has joined the Reed diaspora and spread out around the world, it is time for our sixth-annual pizza night to welcome them into the alumni fold! Come out on Thursday, September 16 in a city near you (start times vary by location) for Reed Diaspora Pizza. As is our tradition, we invite new alumni to eat for free; wizened alumni (not in the Class of 2010) divvy up the check among themselves.
RSVP, if you can, and please indicate your year. Hosts really appreciate knowing how many people are coming, so they know how many seats to save, but if you're not sure, come anyway.

It is time to roust out Reedies in St Louis for an inaugural TTT, plus it happens to be Reed Diaspora Pizza as well! We will meet at Terrene in the Central West End. Hopefully, the weather is good and we sit outside. Come join us for good beer, excellent fries and good company--we will raise our glasses to the Class of 2010, the end of summer, to our youth spent on Westmoreland Ave., and (naturally) to the Cardinals' chances this fall--not necessarily in that order. As this is an inaugural event for STL, please wear something recognizable to our group (no clothes, while recognizable, is not permitted for each of many reasons)!
