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.
Christopher R.
Cristal T.
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!
We're yellers, we know, but it's important.

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.
Officially.

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!
