For Husky fans traveling to this weekend’s game, one option for pregame fun (while dodging projectiles thrown by Ducks fans) is the UW Alumni Association’s Washington Warm Ups. More information can be found at uwalum.com.

Here’s the release that the UW Alumni Association put out:

If you’re hitting the road with the Huskies this year, then you’re invited to attend the 2008 Washington Warm Ups, the UW Alumni Association’s official pre-game tailgate party before all University of Washington road football games.

Washington Warm Ups feature performances by the Husky Marching Band and Cheer Squad, Husky Hall-of-Famer Greg Lewis as your emcee and plenty of UW alumni and fans. The Husky Team Shop will also be selling gear at each stop.

The 2008 Washington Warm Ups schedule:

• Oregon—Saturday, Aug. 30

• Arizona—Saturday, Oct. 4

• USC—Saturday, Nov. 1

• Washington State—Two events:

Friday, Nov. 21—Husky Happy Hour in Spokane

Saturday, Nov. 22—Husky Express Bus from Spokane to the game

• California—Saturday, Dec. 6

Washington Warm Ups begin three hours before kickoff. Admission entitles you to one drink ticket for beer, wine or a soft drink; a collectible souvenir button and fun giveaway; and plenty of Husky spirit. Food and additional beverages are available for purchase inside the party.
