Lute

While we're posting, we'd like to introduce everyone to our new'ish puppy, Lute.

He came to us from the Oregon Humane Society up in Portland and is an Australian Shepherd (among other things probably).

Tentative Schedule

Hi everyone,

It still feels like we're a long way from the wedding weekend-- but time is flying by and I know some of you are beginning to make plans, so we wanted to give you a sense of the schedule we're planning and some broad hotel/ travel information.

Firstly, we have a block of rooms at the Residence Inn Eugene:
541-342-7171

and the La Quinta Inn
541-344-8335
http://www.lq.com/lq/properties/propertyProfile.do?ident=LQ433&propId=433

Each are ~2 minutes from our condo and very close to the Pre jogging trails, Alton Baker Park, Oakway Shopping Center and the UO campus/downtown Eugene. When making your reservation ask for the the LaDu/Parkman block for a discount.

Tentative Schedule of Events:

• Thursday (6/17) evening we're planning a casual meet-greet at the famous The Cooler Restaurant (http://www.thecoolerbar.com/)

• Friday morning (6/18) the USA is playing Slovenia in the World Cup. Traditionally, a group of our Eugene buddies have gotten together to watch the US games at The Cooler

• Friday evening (6/18) we will have an informal rehearsal BBQ for everyone at Alton Baker Park (hopefully)

• Saturday (6/19) will be the big event out in Marcola (buses will shuttle guests to-from the hotels)

• Sunday morning (6/20) breakfast

Of course, all of these plans are bound to evolve as we get closer to June-- please check back to our blog for updates and feel free to send either of us an email (ian.david.parkman@gmail.com or elizabeth.ladu@gmail.com) if you have any questions or if there is any other specific information we can provide.

We can't wait to see everyone in Eugene!
