Memorial Day is always nice for a good, long weekend. Nobody will complain about the three-day weekend at the end of May when the weather is beautiful so I hope everyone has had a nice weekend and has a happy Memorial Day. Take a second and think about those that this day is named for though and pay tribute to those who have sacrificed for this country.
GO BRUINS.

Celebrating Our Bruinness

Freesia39 diaried up the upcoming event featuring Vin Scully and Coach Wooden at NOKIA theater on June 13 in the diaries. That gives me the excuse to let you know about couple of more events that you may want to mark down on the calendar.
The UCLA Alumni association is putting together a "UCLA Day" on campus on May 17th. Tomorrow is the last day to sign up. You can do so by going here. The best part of the website is the section called "myMoments" which features memories like this one from Jeff Torres (Class of 90):
Something told me to stand up and leave my room and so I walked to the doorway to look around the dorm with arrivals popping in and out of the rooms down the hall. And there walking down the hall was the most perfect girl I had ever seen flanked by two stern looking older women. Most people dismiss love at first sight but I was certain that this was the girl of my dreams (found on sight on my first day at UCLA?).
We met later and became the best of friends and shared many pressure packed academic moments as we progressed through our UCLA life. We enjoyed Mardi Gras, UCLA events like Jimmy Stuart and Princesses Fergi making a visit. We went through finals and trying family and college moments together. I got involved in fraternity and politics and she in journalism. Stephanie Coles became a Managing Editor (and now mother of our son) and I became a lawyer and for the 6 years as friends and 15 years married we have enjoyed many wonderful moments since our first big UCLA moment back in the fall of 1987. UCLA gave us a first rate education and many amazing opportunities but most importantly, it gave us each other.
If you want can't make it to campus for UCLA day, you can head out to the Wooden Center on June 7, for "2008 True Blue Celebration":
This unique event will offer over 500 silent auction items divided into four zones - Everything Bruin, Food & Wine, Arts & Entertainment, and Travel & Leisure. During the silent auction, our favorite wineries will provide wine tasting to all guests. We will also be serving appetizers. The silent auction will be followed by a Taste of UCLA (buffet dinner) and an exciting and extensive Live Auction hosted by a prominent member of the UCLA Alumni family. We want our third True Blue Celebration to be as memorable as our first. Help create a great collegiate tradition!
On that note I will see you sometime tomorrow. As far as we know the new site gets launched tomorrow. Again you can get the full details here.
GO BRUINS.

The City of Angels: A Bruin Town

As we all head out to the freeways, subways, airports or wherever we are heading to enjoy the Holiday (which is already off to a ROCKING START!!!!) just keep this in mind:
Picture this (or check it out in your iPhone) if you are standing in some long line at the airport:
Or visualize this if some a&&clown (with a TrOJan license plate) cut you off on the 405:
That's right.
We own this town even with Dorrell in charge of our football program.
Oh did I mention the best college basketball coach in America also reigns in Westwood?
Its good to bleed blue and gold.
GO BRUINS.
