Geocache Description:


TEXAS UFO CREW PRESENTS:
HIP TO BE SQUARE 2016 EDITION
Not to be repeated until 5-5-2025!
Monday, April 4th, 2016
6:22 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., but but we'll likely be there longer.

Square Root Day is an "unofficial" holiday celebrated on days when both the day of the month and the month are the square root of the last two digits of the year. The last Square Root Day was March 3, 2009 (3/3/09), and the next Square Root Day will be April 4, 2016 (4/4/16). The final Square Root Day of the century will occur on September 9, 2081. Square Root Days fall upon the same nine dates each century.

One suggested way of celebrating the holiday is by eating square radishes, or other root vegetables cut into shapes with square cross sections (thus creating a "square root"). While cute, we think this is ridiculous and suggest something better - Mexican Food. We feel doing this will help to promote moving Square Root Day from an "unofficial" holiday to more of a "real" holiday. And the only way we can do this is with your support!

Come be hip. Be square. Gnaw on square shaped roots if you choose. Or down some chips, queso, and margaritas. Whatever floats your boat. I promise, Huey won't care as long as you're Hip to be Square.

PLEASE POST A WILL-ATTEND
SO WE KNOW HOW MANY TABLES TO RESERVE!
