I'm going to do this quick because I'm really tired.  (That's what she said) If anyone has any gear left from ANY trip this semester so far please email either Erin (ebm30@pitt.edu) or Domonic (dnm32@pitt.edu) about returning it. Food Day is on Thursday. Food Day, from my understanding, is an event that is trying to get students to be more aware about what they're eating and promote local and organic food sources.There's also free food! I found this link that may or may not be accurate: http://www.foodday.org/48978/food_day_extravaganza Our fall Seneca trip is this weekend. This is our climbing "graduation" trip of the Fall semester. If you are climbing on the trip you should already know it but if you have any questions talk to Tyler (tdq1@pitt.edu). Jordi is also taking some people out caving at Seneca.

Dear outsidians, Alex here coming at you with some vital slams of informatiomals. We had a great meeting tonight even if we were packed in like birch leaves in a leaf collection. Beth from the Student Conservation Association spoke a bit about some awesome things you could do with the SCA. More info can be found at www.thesca.org ! Noah from the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) also dropped some knowledge. More information on NOLS can be found at nols.edu ! Seriously, take some time to consider taking advantage of these opportunities. They're sooooper cool (outsides + helping evironments + leaderships = soooooper cool). The Reel Rock film tour is coming up (for reel). This exquisite film of various badasseries involving climbing various things will be held on October 14th on CMU's campus at 7:30pm and its free (think free beer (but climbing movies instead of beer)).

Hello there you climbing rhyming blinding miming (sometimes) whining friends of mine(ing), Here comes your weekly dose of fleeting, speeding, leading, needing, meeting, POC proceeding: We are selling Tshirts ($10), Nalgene water bottles ($8), and shot glasses ($5) with a spirited logo on them this year. Troy Ferland ( tmf39@pitt.edu ) is currently taking orders for the aforementioned sprited items. A spirited order form can be found attached to this spirited email. He will be taking orders until next Friday (9/13). The tshirts will be black in the spirit of the spirits in which they are designed in spirit of. We will only be placing orders for spirited items that have been paid for in advance. You can order these items at office hours or the next meeting. The first beginner climber trip will go out next weekend to a yet to be determined but most likely Breakneck location on Saturday (9/14). This trip is limited to people who take our introduction to climbing workshop next week (or test...

Hey you Krackling Kampers, Welcome to this week's edition of the Outdoors Club happenings. We had our first meeting this past Tuesday and it was awesome to see so many excited new members out there. Some general (tater) tots of information: - Don't forget about the scavenger hunt going on in Schenley park tonight (Thursday 8/29)! It sounds sort of cheesy but we promise it will be fun. You'll get to meet other members of the club (in a romantic and intimate setting), hike a bit, possibly eat some food, and light that spark between you and that outdoorsy looking gal or gentleman you've had your eye on. We're meeting at Schenley plaza at 7:30 and it shouldn't last more than 2 hours. It might be muddy from the rain the last couple days. - Our first trip to Ohiopyle is going out in two weeks! This trip includes rafting, kayaking, climbing, hiking, camping, skipping, frolicing, dancing, dancing, and dancing. We'll talk more about this trip during the n...

Hey everyone, It's finally time for POC! We've got some great stuff planned for this year and it all starts tomorrow. Our first meeting is tomorrow night at 9pm at the William Pitt Union lawn. At the meeting you will be able to join the club by signing a waiver form and paying your dues. Dues are $10 a semester of $15 for the year. Waiver forms can be found at www.pittoutdoors.com/waiver.pdf . Waivers will also be provided if you need one. We'll see you there! Take it easy, Alex

tl;dr: POC meetings will be moving back outside to the Union lawn at 9pm on Tuesdays. ----------------------------------------- The time has come again my friends to apoligize and make ammends with these outdoors we love so dear. For we have let her down I fear. Lady winter came with all her might. We hid like children without a fight As cowardly lions we quickly ran from snow, from cold, from the frozen land. But finally comrades we go to war! Mother nature has returned her warmth. Like the wutang we will bring the ruckus! And for Sparta we fight for sun above us! Tonight we meet upon the lawn in the trees, the grass, the warmth of dawn. The soothing nudge of destiny awaits at 9PM bitch...don't be late. - Bill (The Thrill) Shakespeare
