Hello dedicated GSAPC followers and Tulane fans all of shapes, sizes, and statehoods!
GSAPC Secretary Alex Bernadett here.
Summer Updates!!!
1) The GSAPC Running of the Bulls Krewe represented themselves admirably during the Pamplona Meets NOLA Festivities of July 12th. Bruised behinds1, sweat/sangria stained threads, and empty bottles of wine were our trophies at the end of the run. Muy bueno, GSAPCèrs!

2) GSAPC’s World Cup Finals Watch Party in the Riverbend was a smashing success! Mother Nature’s attempts to derail the day were for naught, as four GSAPC members made it to the 10am Camellia Grill Sunday Brunch just before this happened...

President Darling, NY Rep Tim Lindsay, and yours truly made it over to Cooter Brown’s at 10:58am (2 minutes before CB's opened) to secure a front row table for 15 to watch GERM vs. ARG. A spectacular krewe of Tulane/fùtbol fans joined us to catch a fantastic match.

Read on for updates on Members of the GSAPC Wave Council
I trust you are enjoying your summer months as much as the fine folks of the GSAPC Wave Council. Here’s a quick update on the life and times of your Founding Gumbies: |
| Idaho's Natural Disaster |
 |
| Flying Pie: If you don't know, you ain't from Idaho. |
 |
| Luke and Jason continue their quest for Lynne's affection at BCSF |
--> GSAPC Brains-Behind-The-Operation Lynne Firmin has also
found time to take a few road trips during the Pelicans offseason7 . In addition to heading west for the annual Lynch Family Reunion in
Wine Country, California in June and hitting up Bayou Country Superfest over Memorial Day Weekend, Lynne partook in an incredibly enviable trip across
the Southeast USA with comrade Will Thompson. Needless to say, the resulting
Facebook Photo Albums have been jaw-drop-to-the-floor awesome.

--> GSAPC Veep John Scimeca received his Master of Education
degree from Notre Dame, got engaged8, and will be moving to South
America in the coming months to teach English to kids who can’t read good and
want to learn to do other stuff good too9.

Looking Man10 Eric Peterson has been working up a storm in Washington
D.C. as a State Policy Analyst for Americans For Prosperity11. In his
free time, he may or may not have secured a role in the third season of House
of Cards12.
House of Cards: Season 3, Introducing:
 |
| Eric Peterson, the innocent young man appointed to fill a vacancy in the US Senate. His innovative plans promptly collide with political corruption, but he doesn't back down13 |
--> GSAPC Secretary Alex Bernadett has jumped into his third
year of medical school at Tulane and has continued to expand the ways in which
he broadens his education outside of the classroom14. He has found his
old Hawaiian t-shirts15 to be both fashionable and weather
appropriate for the NOLA Summer.
 |
| A Beauty, Beast, Beauty Sandwich. L to R: GSAPCers Libby, Alex, and Asyl. |
--> GSAPC Treasurer Pat Baldwin has been living it up in Alabama, learning everything about everything at the Harrison School of Pharmacy16, and attending MLB games when the opportunity presents itself.
 |
| Pat takes in "America's two great past times, baseball and air conditioning" |
There’s so much more to say, but I see Mother Nature is cooking
up another NOLA-styled Summer Thunderstorm (i.e. extra flavorful rain with a dash
of lightning and a dollop of flooded streets17). Besides, I should leave it to my fellow Wave Council Members to give you actual, horrible-jokes-free GSAPC Blog Updates.
I leave
you with a quote from Tulane's former hero/current arch rival/Darth Vader
equivalent, Alton Ochsner:
"Early to bed, early to rise, work hard, and publicize."
For the Olive & Blue,
Alex Bernadett
