Have a friend who needed to go to the Alta Bates emergency room on Saturday for treatment of an injury. They were stuck there waiting to see a doctor for something like eight hours...because the emergency services were filled with a constant stream of intoxicated Cal students being brought in by friends (and, sometimes, family) needing urgent treatment.

My friend said this started with a parade of falling-down-drunk students arriving in the morning and continuing throughout the day. They were sitting there when a student was brought in by a friend; then when, the first student was being treated, the person who brought her, who was also apparently drunk, passed out in the waiting room, and had to be taken into emergency as well.

Is getting drunk in the morning now a special Cal Day "tradition"?

Just got handed a flyer about this event by a group of enthusiastic Willard students, so thought I would help publicize it here.

FRIDAY. April 17. 3:15 - 6:15 PM. The Willard garden, accessible off Telegraph between Stuart and Derby (this is the open space between the gymnasium and the main classroom building).

"We have 1800 plant starts for sale, $6 for all plants", including six-packs. Their list is mainly vegetables, plus 11 varieties of tomatoes, but also wildflowers.

Food for sale includes pizzas and dumplings made to order on site, at the school, Empanadas, strawberry tartlets, ginger and chocolate chip cookies, homemade popsicles, granola.

I've been to this before with neighbors, last time in 2024 I think. It's a fun event, the students are totally engaged in both growing the plants and preparing the food. The pizza was good and the plants good quality and there were tables set up where you could eat in the garden. They were welcoming to everyone, you don't need to have kids at the school.

Cal students, what were you thinking?

Willard Jr. High has its plant and pizza sale this FRIDAY April 17...
