Tuesday, 13 October 2009 09:38

ASCE is planning to tailgate before the Cal game this Saturday, October 17th, and we would love to see all of you there!

Just some basic info:

1. Unfortunately we will not be able to arrange rides for anyone, but if you don't have transportation, UCLA's rooter bus is always an option! Tickets can be purchased at CTO, and I believe they're $6.

2.If you have a car and are going to drive to the Rose Bowl, one of our cars is going to be leaving from Ackerman turnaround at 7:30am sharp. You can meet us there and follow our car there.

3. If you want to just meet us whenever you get to the Rose Bowl, give us a call and we will definitely get you to our tailgating location. Join the ASCE Facebook group to get an invite and more information!
