So Kanna made an excellent point the other day: traditions may be created through spontaneity, but it takes effort to keep the worthwhile ones alive. If we skip out on one, it just makes it easier to make excuses in the future. In light of that, and because it takes all of us approximately 6 weeks to answer a friggin email, I'd like to start planning this summer's trip.
Owing to the fact some of us have already made other arrangements for the Fourth of July, we also need to consider available dates as a dimension this year.
What are some good time frames for people? What are some possible destinations? Should we do a unified activity like camping, or some random debauchery like we always do?

Trip Report: Tahoe, 2009-12-29 to 2010-01-03
Attendees: Alex, Fu, Kanna, Zhi, plus guests: Emily, Ian, Joel, Marnie, and Rawi
In my traditional bullet point narrative:
- What a great way to ring in the new year, chilling out on the slopes and in the hot tub with some of my best bros.
- A cabin concept definitely works for future trips. It was cheaper than finding separate hotel rooms and it was more convenient. We were are coordinated in terms of location, we had the amenities and storage space, and the kitchen was a major boon.
- Speaking of the kitchen, cooking is also a great idea for future trips. On top of being cheaper and the meals being delicious, it was actually really fun to cook with the fellas. Especially when we were all high as a kite; never has stirring risotto looked so appealing.
- Thanks to Alex for bringing those nice bottles of wine, Honorary Beeler St Member Joel for organizing all the cooking, Kanna for brining his exemplary knowledge of the ganga, and everyone for making it a sweet ass time.
- Alex, your concept of "drinking champagne on New Year's Day" is gay. And I hope we continue it.
- I don't know about you guys, but I felt like this trip was a good experiment in how to organize future trips. I believe in the concept that you plan democratically, but execute autocratically. Did this work for you guys?
