SoCal Aggies

Annual Beach Bonfire
2024-08-17 11:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The annual SoCal Aggies Beach Bonfire is back on Saturday, August 17th!
⠀
WHAT TO BRING:
The club will be grilling up hamburgers/hotdogs, but bringing drinks, side dishes, and desserts is much appreciated! Beach games, footballs, canopies, chairs, coolers, etc. are always helpful too! Please note that California State Beaches do not allow alcohol or glass containers.
⠀
WHERE TO MEET:
We will be at the Newland Ramadas at Huntington State Beach on Saturday, August 17th. This is the same location as last year! We will begin setting up around 11am and be there until after sunset.
⠀
WHERE TO PARK:
Our contact at CA State Parks has said that parking lots ($20) have been filling up in the early afternoon, so carpooling, arriving early, and/or Ubering from a nearby location are all encouraged!
⠀
In past years we’ve had trouble accessing the lots from the south (no left turns) and from across the highway, so I would suggest you take the Pacific Coast Highway from north of our location (heading south) as shown on the map below to more easily join the traffic pattern that is turning right into the parking lots. Please note: the Newland St entrance is closed. Use the Beach Blvd entrance and drive through the parking lot towards the Newland Picnic Area A. The parking lots are all connected once you’re inside.

Annual Crawfish Boil & Blue Bell Distribution
2024-05-18 14:00 - 19:00
Don’t miss the Annual SoCal Aggies Crawfish Boil!
⠀
Date: Saturday, May 18th
Time: 2pm to evening
Location: La Crescenta — address to be provided upon ticket purchase.
⠀
CLICK HERE FOR CRAWFISH BOIL TICKETS
⠀

Each person will receive 2-3 pounds of crawfish, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. Drinks and Blue Bell ice cream will also be provided.
This is a very slim crawfish year so there is a slight possibility we have to pivot to shrimp if there is last-minute supply-chain issue (as happened a few years ago), but in consideration of these conditions, we’ve moved the event to May to better our chances at getting a robust crawfish haul.
Feel free to bring anything else you want— grills and charcoal will be provided for anyone that does not eat seafood and wants to bring something to grill (please email us if you plan to do this instead).
This is a family-friendly event! Some things we can always use more of:

Desserts
Sides/Chips/Dips
Beer
Additional yard games and dominoes
Coolers
Canopies

It is also Blue Bell Ice Cream pickup day! Blue Bell Ice Cream will be distributed to those who order it whether or not you stay for the boil. There are not multiple locations/dates: Pickup will occur on this day only!
If you are unable to pickup on this day, we encourage you to use our Facebook Group to find other Aggies in your area that may be attending.

August L.A. Happy Hour
2023-08-10 17:30 - 19:30 | The Prince, 3198 ½ W Seventh St, Los Angeles, CA, 90005, United States
Join us for the final Aggie Happy Hour of the summer! This month we will be at The Prince, an iconic bar in Koreatown that’s been a neighborhood watering hole since the 1940s, a complement the Ambassador Hotel that stood across the street.
There is a good chance you’ve been inside The Prince, even if you’ve never heard of it: its vintage decor have made it a popular filming location for movies and shows such as Chinatown and Mad Men, as well as serving as “The Griffin,” the setting for the show New Girl.
If anyone is interested in getting some Korean barbecue while in the neighborhood, we will likely head over to one of the places within walking distance at around 7:30.
