Howdy brothers!
With the goyishe New Year rapidly approaching, along with you-know-who’s birthday, it’s customary for many of us to relax, enjoy Chinese food and a fine movie.
But this year, you should REALLY be thinking about the 2012 AEPi reunion, Austin, Texas – April 27, 28 & 29, 2012 – A Weekend of Good Times, Great Friends and Soft Chewable Foods.
You can reserve your room at a special rate by clicking this link.
If you didn’t get the email — and who didn’t get the email — here’s the 1971 rush brochure from. And yes, it WAS a rush! In fact, yours truly was the chairman of the “Good Cold Sh*t Committee,” and in charge of the Funny Box. Check this out: 1971 Rush Book
Now, as promised, here are a couple of shots from days of yore. Or of some other time. Who knows?
First the schlongs, and now the songs! Brother Mache Seibel, MD, AEPi, EIEIO and all around BFM, has produced a new music video.
This from Brother Seibel, MD, AEPi, etc…
Hi Bill,
These photos are great. They prove to our kids that we are telling the truth when we tell them we were young once:-).
I have a question. I have written a song and made a video about a non AEPi subject: Daddy’s Coming Home for Christmas about the troops returning from Iraq as a small thank you for all they have done. I’m really trying to share this and perhaps get it on TV or to military groups to share. If you have any ideas, I hope you’ll let me know or share this with friends and colleagues.
Best wishes for a healthy and happy holiday season.
Mache
And HERE’S THE VIDEO!
Good Yomtov, y’all!

More to come on this. Hope to see you there, er, HERE!
The weekend will include a kosher-style, catered Shabbat dinner at the house, festivities/attendance to the home football game against Texas Tech (we have an AEPi alumni section reserved at the stadium, if anyone would like to purchase a ticket through us), a bar tab downtown on Saturday evening, and brunch on Sunday. It will be a very fun weekend!
For those needing hotel accommodations, a block of rooms is on reserve at the Hampton Inn.

If you haven’t already heard, Brother Mike Blum, pledge class of 1970, passed away this weekend. He was truly one in a million, with a unique sense of humor and personality.
He was 59, and I, for one, will never forget him and the chapters he helped write in the Story of Gamma Deuteron… especially the ones in French!
This, from Bill Rubinsky:
Friends,
Very sad news to share…. Mike Blum passed away this weekend. Funeral services are on Monday, October 17th, at 2:30PM graveside at Congregation Beth Yeshurun Post Oak Cemetery, 1037 N Post Oak.
I don’t know any details yet other than to say he was recovering from neck surgery he had last month and was doing fine. Though he had some issues he was dealing with as a result of that surgery his passing was quite sudden and unexpected.

We’ll miss you, Lop! REEEEALLY!

This Ape has been napping on the job for a while, so please forgive me. But it’s time to crank up this site again — for all you cranky alte kachkers out there!
First of all, Shana Tovah to all of you brothers and sisters out there. May 5772 bring you health, wealth and lots of love from family and friends.
Second of all, HOW ‘BOUT THEM HORNS? They don’t suck this year. Yet.
And … drumroll please … it’s time to mark your calendar for another AEPi Reunion! That’s right folks! We’ll be reuniting again (has it been that long?) in Austin, April 27-29, 2012. Brother Papsmear (er, Pappy) is already hard at work neglecting the rest of his life to make sure this reunion will certainly be the greatest ever.
In fact, you can even reserve your room at the Austin Renaissance now, by following this link.
Pappy has asked that you forgive him for not having the schedule worked out to the minute yet, but here’s what’s on the agenda… trip to East 12th St. nonwithstanding:
Friday, April 27th , 2012 – Shabbat Dinner at the House/ Dessert Reception at the Hotel
Saturday, April 28th, 2012 – Lunch on your own/Old timers Softballs Game/Golf/ Dinner Banquet at Hula Hut
Sunday, April 29th , 2012 – Brunch – Location TBD
So mark your calendar now, start working on your excuses and drink lots of water … because as dry as it’s been in Austin, it’s gonna take an extra special effort to make the Sammy house float away!
Happy New Year, and may all your wishes be little gefilte fishes!
