Hi Everybody…I thought I’d give people some more notice than usual with regards to sports this week. We will be playing Kickball (a.k.a. soccer baseball…it’s a regional thing) on Wednesday from 5-7PM on the mini field north of campus. It seems quite a few people miss playing it. To avoid the confusion with the rules that we had last time, I would recommend everybody who is a little confused read this short article on how to play kickball.
Looking for UTMAGS updates and other info? Check out our Facebook group UTMAGS. It’s a closed group, so just ask for an invite and we’ll let you in.
Cheers!
So tonight is the night for movies and popcorn…come on down to the grad lounge at 5PM to enjoy a good movie of your choice (voting is over at the UTMAGS Facebook group), with Children of Men looking like the current top contender. Voting will officially be over at 5PM (or whenever I check the results), so get your votes in soon.
Hey everybody, looks like the sporting event for tonight is a go (hopefully the weather will stay decent). So if you want to play some possibly muddy Capture the Flag at the Mini Field from 5-7PM, I’ll see you there.

My name is Charles Wong, and I’m the director of Public Relations from U of T LipDub. UofT LipDub is a recognized tri-campus student group founded in April 2011. Our goal is to produce a 9-minute long music video of 3000+ students lip-syncing to selected songs. This massive project will hopefully garner millions of hits on youtube and fully capture the UofT school sprit.
We are in the final stages of planning, as filming will take place in mid-September. Right now, our main focus is to get as many students on board with us to come out on the day of and REPRESENT! They can represent not only the school itself, but also the clubs and councils that they are a part of.
I would like to ask for your assistance in helping us spread the word to your club members. This can include putting us on your next newsletter, or any other promotional medium you have. This is as much as your project as it is ours, and so we really want your club members to be fairly represented in the video!
Also, if your club is interested in coming out as a group, please reply with the campus you want to be at, so we can put you at a spot. The filming days are as follows:
***Saturday, September 11 – UTM***
Saturday, September 17 – UTSC
Sunday, September 18 – UTSG
Looking forward to hearing from you! Please feel free to ask any questions, or request promotional material.

Sincerely,

So today’s sports events is the tried-and-true Capture the Flag. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it, but my lackey Farheen will be at the Mini Field with the requisite flags ready to set up at 5PM. Also, it’s noticeably cooler than last time (let’s hope for no rain) so perhaps this time the event won’t end with everybody keeling over in exhaustion.
