Game Night
Eric and Jen playing Bottle Topps.
GM1: Visit from Dr. Bill Wattenburg
Inventor and KGO talk show host Bill Wattenburg was the host speaker at General Meeting 1. His discussion centered mainly on a truck-stopping device he invented to allow the cops to stop hijacked fuel tanker trucks. He then allowed HKN officers, members, and candidates to ask questions, told about his experiences as an EE grad student and professor at Cal, and even offered some of his opinions on what's missing from UCB's current EECS curriculum.
After the speech was over, Dr. Wattenburg stayed around to answer any further questions anyone might have had. 1 2
Officer Retreat at Bodega Bay
This semester's officer retreat was at Bodega Bay. HKN rented a house for two nights, and we spent a lot of time just relaxing, playing games, and doing puzzles.
Putting together a 1000 piece puzzle
Playing video games
The longest game of Fluxx I have ever played. It lasted well over 30 minutes!
Relaxing in the living room
Other activites included playing ultimate frisbee on the beach, and going crab fishing on the pier in Bodega Harbor.
Crab fishing off the pier in Bodega Harbor 1 2 3
Most of the crabs we caught were non-edible spider crabs
Eating crab for dinner
On the way back to Berkeley, we stopped at the In-N-Out Burger in Rohnert Park for lunch. Almost everyone ordered a meal from the traditional In-N-Out menu (burgers, fries, sodas, shakes, etc.), but HKN also discovered that In-N-Out has a secret menu which includes fresh-caught Dungeness crab!! Really. I have pictures to PROVE it!

Fall Semester 2001
Trailhacking
HKN again went to the Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto to help improve the trails and prevent erosion during the rainy season. The event, officially called "Trailhacking X: If You Were A Large, Rusty, And Potentially Deadly Trailhacking Tool, What Kind Of Large, Rusty, And Potentially Deadly Trailhacking Tool Would You Be, And Why", was a success, and REI, one the hosts of the event, was even nice enough to pass out prizes afterward.
Jen and Francis working the trails
Jonathan wins the grand prize: a $200 backpack!
Bridge School Benefit Concert
Every semester, HKN has one big activity. This semester, we went to the Bridge School Benefit concert at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View. Artists such as Dave Matthews Band, Tracy Chapman, Pearl Jam, and REM gave an 8 hour long concert that lasted until after midnight.
