South Bay Fun
Had a blast today (yesterday now, I suppose) hanging out with May, Sherv, Woz, and Riad. The crew, sans Riad, picked me up at my place in the early afternoon, and after a bit of uncertainty, we headed off to a party hosted by a couple of Phi Sig alums in Mountain View, where we met up with good old Repak. Deep frying was apparently the central theme of this party, as we prepared and consumed everything from deep-fried turkey to deep-fried twinkies (incredibly tasty). Riad and I managed to school Sherv and Woz in Beirut (with an incredible last-second double shot). Because of a ridiculous slot-machine party game/exhibition, I had to perform a kegstand (I guess my performance was mediocre, but nobody in the damn audience actually counted). The entire party was full of MIT people, which made for an experience of its own (where else would you find a rigorous discussion of probability?). Good old-fashioned fun while meeting a bunch of new people.
After hanging out at May’s apartment for a bit, I got a ride back home, while everybody else headed up to Sherv’s place for some hijinks. Hopefully we’ll all be able to hit up San Francisco tomorrow. Especially now that the Hippo’s back in town…
