This Friday come to the 2nd CSSS BBQ and Bzzr Garden from 4 - 8pm in the X-wing Lounge! This one will be even better than the last one, with a better tap system so that hopefully there won’t be any lines. We’ll be serving Granville Island, like last time. Come for great food, tasty drinks and good company!

Remember to plan ahead for a safe ride home… use your U-Pass! You’ve already paid for it!

See you there!

CSSS Movie & Games Night

Categories: Event

Yes, it’s back!

The CS LAN party which is more like an all-round games night is tentatively scheduled for January 20th. Last time, there were even more games than before, with poker players, lots and lots of foosball, Xbox, Risk, Lan games and general silliness.

Expect there to be satisfying nourishment (for a very reasonable price) and a break at just the point in the term where you begin to want for it to be over. As always, you can view photos of the past games nights in our gallery on the top right of the page (editor’s note: now lost). You snooze, you lose!

UPDATE: This round we’ll be showing the movie Primer. “Four friends/fledgling entrepreneurs, knowing that there’s something bigger and more innovative than the different error-checking devices they’ve built, wrestle over their new invention.” We’ll also have an xbox 360 and xbox for flashy gaming and 8-player support. But we won’t be doing a computer LAN this round to make things simpler. Still, maybe some next generation gaming on the projectors in DEMP 110 will tickle you the right way. We have lots of pop & chips. Plus, we’ll do a group pizza order as usual.

When:

Friday, January 20, 2006 - 17:00 to 22:00

DEMP 110 & CS Ugrad Lounge

Grad Boat Cruise

Categories: Event

The date has been set as March 31! That’s a Friday for all you without a calendar near by. This year’s grad dinner will follow the success of previous years with another fun filled boat cruise.

So… for 20 dollars (there’s a healthy subsidy there), you get to spend a one-of-a-kind evening complete with a first-class sit-down dinner aboad a chartered yacht! Last year’s event went extremely well, and this year, we expect to do even better!

Menu: Chef Carved Prime Rib Roast Beef, Swiss Potatoes, Vegetarian Penne Pasta in Tomato Sauce, Steamed Vegetables, Three Bean Salad, Caesar Salad, Dinner Rolls, Assorted Pastries for Dessert, Coffee & Tea

Boarding time is 6pm. The boat will depart at 6:30pm and return later that evening at 10:30 pm.

We’re giving preference to graduating students (and one guest), but computer science students from all years are invited to attend. So, if you’re interested in going, see your friendly CSSS execs in X139 for more details and to sign up for this exciting event! You must buy your tickets by Wed Mar 26th! Don’t delay!
