Koi Pond

We start our Roundup each year by gathering at the Koi Pond to mingle, introduce ourselves, and then debate “The Question”. The first evening is an excellent icebreaker and welcome to the whole shebang. We start outside in an informal atmosphere with a light buffet dinner and then move inside for a discussion in an even more informal atmosphere. The Question changes every year and a lively conversation is encouraged. Bring your beverage of choice to share.

Dinner at the UCSC Seymour Marine Discovery Center

On Friday night we return to the Seymour Discovery Center at the Long Marine Lab off campus to dine, schmooze and admire the scenery of the Santa Cruz coastline. This gives us more chances to talk and exchange ideas over food and wine. We provide the food, the space and the sunset. You provide the beverage, the witty conservation and the admiration of the sunset.

Brew Cruz

We are back on board with Captain Annie on the unique 1989 school bus, the “Betty Jane”, to local breweries around the scenic Santa Cruz area. https://www.scbrewcruz.com/

Tickets are $75 per person and are available for purchase on the reservation form. Only 15 spots are available (the bus capacity) and will be filled on a first come first serve basis.

Activity Level: Approximate duration 4 hours. Pick-up will occur from Porter Circle. Passengers are allowed to bring their own beer/wine/snacks and cooler on the bus to enjoy during the ride. Hard alcohol is not allowed.

 

Shakespeare at the Grove

“The Comedy of Errors” one of Shakespeare’s earliest works is a youthful and exuberant play filled with puns and word play that pairs two sets of identical twins, matching physical comedy with mistaken identity for maximum hilarity. https://www.santacruzshakespeare.org/the-comedy-of-errors/

This event is a short 15 min drive to The Grove at Delavega Park to an outdoor theater. Tickets to the show are in addition to your conference fee. To warm us up after the outdoor play, we’ll have food, libations and good talk back at the dorms.

Tickets are $57 per person and are available for purchase on the reservation form.

Activity Level: Approximate 90 minute duration. Since this is coastal California, please dress warmly (and you may wish to bring a blanket), as Santa Cruz evenings can become quite chilly. Bring your own food and/or beverage to picnic experiencing full outdoor theatre experience! Concessions are on site at The Grove for snacks and beverages as well.

 

A Brighter World through Tie Dye

What is sun, sand, and surfing without a bit of Tie Dye! Make your own tie-dyed tote bags as a memento to take home from Santa Cruz’s original Tie-Dye studio, A Brighter World. Jerry began his journey by making tie-dyed bandanas to sell at Grateful Dead concerts across the country in the late 80s. If you’d like to stay on campus, this may be for you! http://cometiedye.com/

Tickets are $35 and available to purchase through the reservation form.

Activity Level: Approximate duration 30-60 minutes. Jerry will be set up in the Porters lounge located next to our apartments. Craft making appropriate clothing is suggested as you will be dying your own tote bags.
