Jessica P., Cheryl B., Ryan W. & Jessica T.:

We hear that Cassie has a bunch of pictures that are still trapped on her camera so cross your fingers that she shares them soon!

More Pictures!

These are in reverse order because the more I monkey with the HTML, the more jacked up the layout gets. I'd apologize for my not-so-mad skillz but instead I'll just blame it on the fact that HTML didn't even exist when I knew all the people in the pictures. SO THERE.

BUT FIRST:

Special thanks to Najah F. for letting me share her pictures!

And now, I present to you, the only picture we've posted from the picnic, starring Nicole F., Najah F. and Ryan W.:


It was SO HOT.

HOW HOT WAS IT?

It was SO HOT that the balloons started spontaneously popping and scaring the small children. I'm no balloonologist and I don't know what the popping temperature of a balloon is, but speaking as a layperson, I can tell you that it's TOTALLY FREAKING HOT.

And yet, Nicole, Najah and Ryan look as cool as cucumbers.

Picnic pictures, CHECK!

Chris L., Sarah W. and Cassie S.:

Robin D. and Christopher R.:

A little bird told me that Cassie might have a bunch of pictures I can steal so cross your fingers for another photo update.

WANNA SEE SOME PICTURES?

I know you do!

Lucky for you, Andrea and Joanne are lovely people who have agreed to let me share their mad photography skills. We've been harrassing other people with pictures to let us post them here so this might not be the ONLY picture post but we'll see...

Before:



After:

After-the-After:



Joanne? A ham? Who would have thought?

And psst...it's bigger HERE.

But okay now you're all looking at these and thinking that you're afraid to scroll down for fear that you'll encounter links to giant-sized pictures of your face after a couple of cocktails in 90 degree heat.

Am I right?

Don't worry Lions. I've got your back.

I'm sharing the life-sized versions of those because your heads were all so teeny small in the regular sized pictures...except for mine, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm self-centered and my eyeballs go STRAIGHT to myself or if I just have a really big head. Both are equally unflattering, but probably also true.

But blah blah blah. On to the candids!

Sarah W., Kate H., Ben H., Cassie S. and Michele B.:



Nicole F., Joanne E, & Najah F.:



Dayna L., Joanne E., Raylene G. & Elizabeth P.:



Joanne (and her mouth, which she'll tell you was a theme that ran throughout her pictures), Vanessa S. and Phillip B.:

Joanne, Andrea D., Cassie S. and Elizabeth H.:

Joanne, Danny V. and someone whose entire face didn't seem to make the cut:

Sarah H., Kelley J. and Vanessa S.:

So there you have it: Proof that we are reunited.

Well that wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.

I'm speaking for myself here but:

1. I'll take it a step beyond "less painful than expected" and say that it was actually 100 times better than I'd hoped. The best part is that I don't even think that's just in my own head -- I think the "I really wasn't expecting this to be as great as it was but I am SO GLAD I went!" sentiment is shared by many.

2. Everyone looked REALLY GOOD. Like polished, grown-up versions of their teenage selves.

3. Being in a room with all these familiar faces seemed soooo normal but also soooo surreal.

4. Maybe the people with the funny looking kids skipped the picnic but let me tell you: Lincoln grads make some adorable kids.

5. There was a bachelorette party being held at the same restaurant on Saturday night but we put them to shame. Granted, it looked like the most boring bachelorette party in history, but really, we had a great time.

The bottom line:

I'm glad we didn't have a 5 or 10 year reunion. I'm glad we waited until we all had the easy confidence of being in our thirties and that it was less of a "let me show you how great I'm doing" display and more of a "I'm doing well, I'm happy in my skin, I'm happy to be here and I'm genuinely happy to see you" kind of weekend.

There's a picture post coming tomorrow so WATCH OUT!

It's time ALREADY?

If you've already bought your tickets to Saturday night's cocktail party, then here's the quick and dirty info:

FASHION FAQ!

OMG what should I wear?

Girl, we don't know either. Flannel and Birkenstocks would be very retro of you but if you haven't looked back on those pictures lately, pssst -- flannel and Birkenstocks? Not particularly flattering.

Unless you're still wearing that uniform in 2009, in which case, YOU LOOK GREAT!

No, seriously -- what should I wear?

We'd say "It's a cocktail party -- dress accordingly" but when we say that our minds go back to the scene in Pretty Woman where Vivian goes shopping for a cocktail dress to wear for her fancy dinner with the ship building people and ends up with something fancy that -- and this part is totally true -- our next door neighbor copied and wore to her prom in 1993.

Basically, what we're saying here is that A) we shouldn't base our reunion ensembles on fash-uns from Julia Roberts movies from the early 1990's and B) we don't really know what you should wear, but if it helps, there are some LBDs* in our future.

*LDB = Little Black Dresses, duh.

Wear what you want. Wear what makes you feel good.

OOH OOH OOH! Wear your Convertibles outfit!! We will TOTALLY buy you a drink if you have the nerve to show up in that sparkly baby blue leotard with the side-of-the-head-hat-like-thing!!!!!

SERIOUSLY.

But enough about all that.

You all officially have ONE WEEK to get yourselves to The Loft.

Ready, set, GO!

Your BFFs have until the end of today to buy their tickets so this list won't be final until midnight tonight! Or, realistically, first thing tomorrow morning when we check our e-mail for any post-bedtime stragglers and then etch the final list in stone.

We're excited to see so many of you in A WEEK!

Come enjoy nature with us. It's good for you.

We feel bad for the picnic. It's being so easy and well-behaved compared to its twin the cocktail party that we keep forgetting to give it the attention it deserves.

Poor picnic.

When it starts acting out to get our attention we sure will be sorry.

Don't worry picnic, we love you JUST AS MUCH as we love the cocktail party, we swear. We'll buy you a car on your 16th birthday just to prove it.

Ever loving mind: LOST!

Back to the matter at hand: THE PICNIC!

Bring your kids!
Bring your own food!
Bring your own drinks!
Bring your own everything!

Show up at the Rose Garden at 11AM (we'll get there early to stake out a spot -- we're thinking we'll shoot for the picnic tables on the Naglee side) and enjoy some quality time with your fellow Lions.

We've heard from multiple Lions who can't make the Saturday night festivities but who are planning to come to the picnic, so please be sure to be there!

A few notes:

1. Alcohol is not permitted at the Rose Garden but...uh...if you don't blab that there's whiskey in our coffee we won't blab that there's rum in your Diet Coke. Hair of the dog and all...

2. Speaking of dogs, they're not allowed at the Rose Garden either and since they're not as easy to hide, we'd recommend you leave Fido at home.

3. Don't let the BYO-Everything thing deter you! There are plenty of nearby places to grab-and-go your lunch:

Zanotto's is riiiiight up (down?) Naglee at Bascom.

There's a Togo's on The Alameda and Race Street.

There's a Chipotle on The Alameda and Morrison.

Calvin's Cheesesteaks has reopened on The Alameda and Shasta -- just a few doors down from the old location.

Falafel Drive In is still there too -- on Stevens Creek near Bascom.

See?

You won't starve.

So come and not starve with us!

And if you still have Saturday night's mascara smudged under your eyes, we won't judge.

Much.

By Popular Demand!

We've had a few requests to dish the dirt on who has already purchased tickets to the reunion so without further adieu, here are the Lions you can look forward to seeing on June 27th -- BUT ONLY IF YOU BUY YOUR TICKETS BY JUNE 18th.

We're yellers, we know, but it's important.

Anyway, here you go:
(Updated June 14th!)

Jessica T.
Joanne E.
Phillip B.
Stephanie D.
Chris L.
Amy F.
Alison K.
Gemma B.
Kelley J.
Ryan W.
Najah F.
Jessica P.
Mirsada K.
Lindsay M.
Robin D.
Amy S.
Tracie M.
Sarah H.
Raylene G.

Dayna L.
Andrea D.
Elizabeth H.
Cassie S.
Sarah W.
Cheryl B.
Kate H.

Plus an assortment of husbands/wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/partners/hot dates/etc. But don't worry -- plenty of us are flying solo so you won't be the only one without a dance partner when Careless Whisper comes on.

Except that A) there won't be dancing and B) Careless Whisper is a bit before our time anyway so don't worry about it.

A few important notes:

1. We used maiden names for the ladies so if, say, Andrea were to be all "WHO THE HECK IS ANDREA D??"" I'd be all "THE CHICK WITH THE WHITE SATIN A'S JACKET, THAT'S WHO!"

More with the yelling.

2. We've personally heard from other people who say that they're gonna buy tickets but just haven't made the magic happen yet. Jeremy M., Nicole F., Ben H., WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU.

3. We discovered that for some reason Reunion Central's mailman was lacking school spirit and wasn't delivering mail addressed to LHS Reunion so, psst, if you got your check returned you might want to just send it to Andrea Bartlinski (aka The Artist Formerly Known as Andrea DeYoung) at the same address just for good measure. A whole gang of checks made their way to Reunion Central without a problem so we dunno what the problem was there.

3a. Hey Andrea, I just said your married and maiden names on the WWW! I'll let you know how many Stalky McStalkersons search for you and find this site!

4. Attn Sheila D.: "I can't go because I'm pregnant" is not an acceptable excuse! At least THREE of the ladies on the RSVP list also have buns in the oven so you'll be in good company!

5. If your BFF 4 --> isn't on the list then please twist some arms for us!

6. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE PICNIC ON JUNE 28TH!

Ticket Purchase Deadline: LOOMING

Maaaaaaaan, we suck.

We beg you for money for weeks and weeks and then you finally cough it up and POOF! We disappear.

(OMG we just yawned all big like in our cube and we didn't cover our mouth and someone just walked past and saw the bad manners in action. Our mother would be SO disappointed in us.)

So yeah, we're slackers. And we're tired, it seems.

Maybe we're just storing up the energy so we're ready to PARTAAAY in 25 days!!!

Twenty five days? For reals?

CRAP.

That's not enough time to get rich and good looking so we can show up and be all HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

Oh well...there's still plenty of time to make up stories about having had invented Post-Its. Except that I guess since Post-Its were already invented when we were in high school we should come up with something a little less conspicuously false.

It does occur to us that just because WE'D have to lie about being super smart inventors, that doesn't mean that Lincoln didn't produce some brainiacs and it's totally possssssssible that a fellow Lion invented hybrid automotive technology or iPhones or the George Foreman Grill. If you did, we promise to believe you.

Just please don't try to lay claim to the Snuggie...that thing is a pop culture static cling nightmare. We'd guess, anyway...we wouldn't be caught dead buying two for $19.99 at Walgreens.

BUT BLAH BLAH BLAH...none of this is the point of our slow-in-coming blog update.

Here's the point:

As of today, you have 16 more days to buy your tickets to the reunion!

Ticket purchase info is linked here but if you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us at lincolnlions1994@gmail.com

Fish or Cut Bait

Thanks to everyone who bought their tickets by last month's deadline, we've confirmed that there's enough interest to be able to officially say that YES, our 15th reunion is ON.

Officially.

So what's next?

If you've already paid for your ticket and you've received a confirmation e-mail from us, you're all set! Just show up at The Loft at 7PM on Saturday, June 27th.

If you have NOT paid for your ticket, YOU'RE IN LUCK! We're extending the ticket purchase deadline to Thursday, June 18th.

But here's the thing: We're not even kidding about that being the deadline. No ifs, ands or butts about it -- we HAVE TO give the restaurant our FINAL headcount on the 19th so the 18th is our official, no bones about it, speak now or forever hold your peace deadline for ticket purchases.

Okay, okay...June 18th...I get it. Where do I send my money?

You still have the two options:

1. Send $50 per person (checks can be made out to either Elizabeth Holt or Sarah Woodside) to:

LHS Reunion
1001 Villa Maria Court
San Jose, CA 95125

2. PayPal $52 per person (the extra $2 covers the fees) to lincolnlions1994@gmail.com

What does that $50 buy me?

The ticket price includes an appetizer buffet and one drink ticket. AND the pleasure of our company and all.

Sheesh...that's kinda spendy, isn't it?

We double dog dare you to find something better. And when you do, we're nominating you for the 20th reunion committee.

READY, SET, GO!!!!!!!

There's nothing like spending the night in a bowling alley.

You know what's really weird?

Logging into our PayPal account and seeing all your names.

It's like the back of our Grad Night t-shirts all over again.

If you haven't heard, we extended the deadline to Wednesday, so keep 'em coming!

We're asking nicely.

Dear Everybody Who Has Said Something Like OMG A REUNION!?!? YAY! I CAN'T WAIT,

HURRY THE HECK UP and buy your tickets.

Please.

You have eleven short days left.

The how-to info is here:

http://lincoln1994.blogspot.com/2009/02/okay-heres-part-where-we-try-to-squeeze.html

Love,

The Committee

P.S. We just got our first non-committee-member following us on Twitter! That made our day!

Buried

With all the BLAH BLAH BLAH we've been doing about random stuff, the IMPORTANT stuff is getting buried.

Have questions about the who/what/where/when/why of our reunion?

Here's the link to the post that gives you all that info.

Have questions that aren't answered there?

E-mail us at lincolnlions1994@gmail.com .

Bueller?

Hellllloooooooooo Lions!

Maaaaan, we're slackery updaters lately, aren't we? But seriously, we're busy accepting PayPal payments from you guys all day long and it takes away from our blogging time.

Or maybe we're just slackers.

But hey! How about a list of people we're still trying to find?! We KNOW FOR A FACT that some of you are still in contact with some of these people so if you're not going to tell us how to contact them, we hope that you're at least keeping them updated. Or at least just telling them that the reunion exists.

We'll try very hard not to be butthurt that they don't want anything to do with us.

Back to the list:

Angelina Ignacio

George Kleidon

Colin Leeland

Norma Macias

Ramona Martin

Lourdes Rivera

Erin Sisti

Colin Yocum

If you know these people, we'd LOVE for you to tell them about the reunion. Double points for getting them to send us money.

We're joining the 21st century: Pay us via PayPal!

Things we DON'T have to do:

• Find wheelbarrows to haul the FLOOD of checks that are arriving at Reunion Central.
  
• Get paper cuts from opening BAJILLIONS of envelopes.
  
• Get callouses on our fingers from pushing all those buttons on the ATM because we're making SO MANY deposits.

Seriously, you guys are freaking us out.

We have ONE MONTH before we have to cancel the whole darn thing and we're still um...one or two heads short.

We know that some of you have conflicting vacation plans and some of you have conflicting work plans and some of you would rather avoid the whole shindig (gasp!), but what about the rest of you?

WE KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE!

So, in the interest of making it as EASY AS POSSIBLE for you to cough up your hard earned dough and because we know how H-A-R-D it is to find checks and envelopes and stamps (oh my!) we've decided to accept payments via PayPal.

BUT HERE'S THE THING:

If you want the convenience of paying with PayPal then you have to cough up a little extra to cover the fees. A big TWO DOLLARS extra.

New Instructions:

Option A: Send us a check for $50 per person. More info HERE.

Option B: Send us $52 per person via PayPal. We're all signed up under lincolnlions1994@gmail.com so if that's your method of choice, you probably already know what to do, so GO FOR IT!

The payment deadline still hasn't changed!

We still need your money in our hot little hands by Monday, April 20th. That's just about ONE MONTH from now.

GO GO GO!

Each payment we receive is one less tear we'll cry each night.

Please find these people for us!

We've been slaaaaaackers lately, we know, but here are your WHERE THE HECK ARE THESE PEOPLE people for today:

Arleen Martinez

Cesar Rosales

Christina James

Dan Fink (We know Dan is on MySpace but we're having MySpace issues so if anyone is MySpace friends with him, will you send him a note about the reunion?)

Gabriel Lozano

Gordon Smith (We found him on MySpace too but MySpace thinks we're all spammers or something so if you're his friend, please point him in our direction!!!)

Martha Diaz

Michael Stotts

10%

Things that used to make us happy:

• cupcakes
• puppies
• rainbows
• getting e-mails from people sending us their contact information and/or their friends' contact information

Ahhh, the olden days.

Thank goodness for cupcakes, puppies and rainbows because we SURE AS HECK aren't getting very many e-mails anymore! We did start getting more and more blog hits though so that made up for the emptiness of our in-boxes (and our hearts...sniff...).

BUT YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT MAKES US HAPPY NOW??

Caps lock?

Yes. But guess what else!

GETTING CHECKS FROM YOU GUYS!

Forget about cupcakes and puppies and rainbows! We're getting cold, hard cash in the mail and it makes us HAPPY! (Except really, they're checks but "cold, hard checks" doesn't have the same ring to it.)

We still have a long way to go but we're tickled to report that we have reached the 10% mark...meaning, we've sold 10% of the tickets we need to sell in order for this reunion to become a reality. Sure, that 90% is kinda daunting but we're not going to let it get us down. We're glass-half-full people over here at Reunion Central.

You have 39 days to send your $50 per person to Sarah Woodside or Elizabeth Holt at this address:

LHS Reunion

1001 Villa Maria Court

San Jose, CA 95125

If you're late to the party, you can read ALL about the ticket process HERE. Ticket FAQs are HERE.

In summary:

• $50 in 39 days
• THANK YOU to everyone who already sent in their money! We're sending confirmation e-mails today so if you don't hear from us, tell us to shake the mailbox to see if any money comes out.
• We love CAPS.

The trickle of new names is slowing down.

We're busy bees over here, what with all the reunion planning (and real life work) we're doing, so we'll get straight to the point. No more dilly-dally'ing. Today, anyway. We can't promise we'll ever actually be concise.

FAQs - TICKET SPECIAL!

Questions about the ticket buying process? You're in the right place!

Let us know if your questions aren't answered! You're probably not the only one so we'd love to know what we're missing!

So, like, I have to buy a ticket?

Yes.

How much?

$50 per person.

What if I don't buy a ticket in advance? Can I just show up and pay at the door?

NO. We hate to be firm about it but we have to give a final headcount to the restaurant before the reunion and we can't afford to cover any unpaid no-shows.

But why is April 20th the deadline for buying my ticket? That's kinda early, isn't it?

Yes, it is, but we had to put down a deposit and if we don't cancel by a certain date, we lose our deposit...which is code for "Andrea, Cassie, Elizabeth and Sarah have to eat it." That still gives you nearly two months to locate your check book though, so hop to it!

Can I bring my husband/wife/partner/hot date?

Please do! The more the merrier! It's still $50 per person though.

Where do I send my money?

Make the check out to either Sarah Woodside or Elizabeth Holt (or both, if it makes you feel better) and mail it to:

LHS Reunion
1001 Villa Maria Court
San Jose, CA 95125

I don't know how I feel about sending you hoodlums money. How do I know this is legit?

No bones about it, we're asking you to trust us.

Why do I have to make the check out to Sarah or Elizabeth? Why not Cassie? Why not Andrea? Why not something more official sounding?

Sarah and Elizabeth are the two names on the bank account. We tried getting a business bank account so we could have the checks made out to the reunion itself, but that involved forming an LLC or something and blah blah blah, we aren't funded for that so we're going the cheap route.

Can I pay via Paypal?

No, sorry. There are transaction limits on free accounts and fees associated with upgraded accounts and it's just not a good option for us. If you know some way around this, let us know!

Seriously? You want me to go find my checkbook and send you money the old school way? For reals?

Yes. We know from personal experience how HARD it is to find exotic things like ENVELOPES and, *gasp*, STAMPS, but we're asking you to pretty please with sugar on top, make the effort.

YES! We need to cover the fees though so if PayPal is your poison, just send us $52 per person! Our account is linked to our lincolnlions1994@gmail.com e-mail address, so send, send away!!

What happens if the reunion gets cancelled?

The only way the reunion will be cancelled is if we don't sell enough tickets to meet our contractual obligations with the restaurant. We know this makes it kinda sticky for people who need to make travel arrangements but we'll let you know AS SOON as we meet our minimum...we need everyone to buy their tickets by April 20th anyway, so you'll still have two months to book your flights and/or your parents' guest rooms.

Go ahead! Knock our socks off! Send us your money TODAY! We dare you!

BUT, if the reunion DOES get cancelled, then we'll send your money back ASAP. We pinkie swear.

How many tickets do you need to sell?

We're hesitant to blab that because we don't want anyone to make any assumptions about whether or not they need to send in their money NOW NOW NOW or, you know, whenever they get around to it. Like, we don't want our reunion to get Chris Daughtry on American Idol Syndrome -- where everybody thinks everybody else is going to do it so they don't have to.

So anyway, it's a TOTALLY do-able number. Now send us your money. Please.

What do I get for my $50?

You'll get appetizers and one drink ticket at The Loft Bar & Bistro in downtown San Jose. We'll have a private room from 7-10PM but after that, the restaurant turns into a lounge with a DJ and a dance floor. You are welcome to stay and shake your groove thang or see if an after party spontaneously develops.

So there's no dinner?

In the interest of keeping the cost down so as many people as possible would come, no, we are not able to include dinner in the ticket price. The Loft is a restaurant though so if you wanted to make your own dinner reservations for the pre-reunion period, I'm sure that would be fine, but you'd be on your own for that.

I didn't graduate in 1994, but I'm a Lincoln teacher and/or a friend of the class of 1994. Can I come?

Sure thing! We know that plenty of teachers and people in higher or lower classes were tight with people in our class and we're more than happy to have them join is. All the regular ticket buying guidelines still apply.

And now a question for YOU:

What questions have we left unanswered? Please e-mail us at lincolnlions1994@gmail.com and we'll get right on it!
