TCC's largest events is a Mardi Gras celebration typically held the

before the beginning of Lent in Walker Memorial. In the past it has
been voted
best <st1:place w:st="on">ARCADE</st1:place> event of the year. We are
looking
for dedicated, energetic, enthusiastic, and fun-loving individuals to
continue
this great TCC tradition. Opportunities range from decorating, to
organizing
games, to contacting cultural groups to participate, and much much
more. If you
are at all interested in being a part of historic event, please send an
email
to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:joel_f@mit.edu">joel_f@mit.edu</a>. As this is always a heavily anticipated event, we

<span style="font-family: "Courier New";">I had the privilege
of attending this Conference last year and it was absolutely amazing
and this
year it looks even better. On top of the awesome speaker's lineup, the
price
for registering before 12/31/05 is only $10 for students. I'd like to
try and
get a large group to come out from MIT. They also discount pricing for
groups,
so it'd be great if you could get back to me to let me know if you're
interested and I could register everyone as a group. Hope many of you
would be
able to make it out for this awesome experience (there were already 300
men
signed up after the first day of registration!). For more info on the
