Whereas a lot of us will be in the North-East,
Whereas we LOVE TASP reunions,
Whereas not everyone could go to our recent Bawston rendezvous,
Be It Resolved That we plan a new one after being reasonably settled in at our respective colleges.
We can have small ones that require little to no planning, but a slightly bigger one would be pretty cool (and by pretty cool I mean FREAKING AWESOME). I highly encourage random visits and mini-reunions (especially during holidays when and if some of us don't fly back home), too! Anyhoo, since I'm interested in getting back together, I mapquested our locations to see how far we were from each other.
Harvard & Brown are an hour away from each other; Yale is about 1.75 hours away from Brown; Williams is 2 hours away; and NYU/Columbia/Vassar are 3.25 hours away. Dartmouth is about 3.1 hours away. Cornell is about 6 hours away and Swarthmore is 5.12 hours away, while UPenn is 5 hours away. Princeton is...about 4.1 hours away.
Kenyon and UMich are like 12 hours away. Purdue is 16 hours away (same with Loyola, though it's about half an hour less). *cringe* Stanford is, obviously, on the other side of the country. UT Austin and Deep Springs are super far away as well. :'(
Then again, you could all stop being betches and just swim over to Puerto Rico during the summer so we can ALL have fun under the sun--going to the beach, trekking in the mountains, chillin' at the mall, and partying in Old San Juan (18 years old = you can get in anywhere! Weeee!).
I think that takes care of everyone. Again, this is using Brown as a reference point, because DUH, Brown = best place ever. ;) Haha, basically, I'm selfish and I want to see everyone. *grin*
Anyway, possible future reunions aside, the Bawston get-together was nice. :) We had fun, we draped, we ate, and we visited cool places. There are many pictures on Facebook for anyone who's interested (which I hope is everyone!).
Love you crazy kids!
P.S. - I'd definitely be willing to help with planning a reunion again. :)
Using firm motions since 2006
Cornell TASP 2006
For all of us, the 6 weeks we spent at the Cornell TASP in 2006 were filled with life changing experiences and fond memories. This blog is part of our attempt to stay connected to each other. Play nice and remember that Nunn is always watching.

I second that motion.
I vote for NYC.

Rough travel times to NYC
Harvard: 3.25hr
Brown: 3hr
Yale: 1.5hr
Columbia/NYU: 0hr :)
Vassar: 1hr
Dartmouth: 4.5hr
Swarthmore: 2hr
Upenn: 2hr
Princeton: 1.5hr
Kenyon, UMich, Purdue, Loyola, Stanford, UT Austin and Deep Springs are, like Aida said, crazy far.
But as you can see, NYC is a nice epicenter for most of the colleges. NYC is also a major commercial, entertainment, and cultural hub. Which, conveniently enough, also provides muchos flights in and out, not to mention rail possibilities.
With 2 different colleges with TASPers represented, it might also be possible for some of us NYCers to host someone (though I'm not sure about this yet).
I also vote for NYC. Looooove that city.
I'll probably be there for Thanksgiving, by the way...
Good! NYC does seemlike a good place, then! :)
It would be nice if the reunion was in NYC around May perhaps when all of you are ending classes. Michigan gets out super-early so that would mean I could attend.
hm, aren't most of us going to be pretty broke around May, in which case a late august (i.e after summer's work) date would be better?
Update:
I have checked with Columbia's guest policy. I can have as many guests as I want, for up to a period of 5 days. Because I have a single this year, I can stuff as many people into my room as I want. Logistically of course, I can prob only fit one or two people max on my floor.
