A Pretty Close to Perfect Day

A bunch of Tep alumni came into town for E.'s memorial service, so Saturday was a pretty busy day of socializing and hanging out at Tep--Perlick already summarized the day pretty well on LJ. First was lunch at Brehznev's--probably about 25 people or so.


Perlick commented on his 'Norm from Cheers' moment--walking in the door after getting off the bus from NYC, and everyone yelling, "Perlick!!!":


We then headed over to the house, to see how rush was going. The house is looking in great shape, and the brothers seem to be a very fun and worthwhile bunch--and they actually bothered talking to us drooling alumni.


One thing that I realized--the freshmen are so young that instead of hitting on a froshling woman, it would be slightly less creepy for me to say:

Oh, man... so your parents got divorced... when?

...

Your mom's not still single, is she?

Yeah, I know... classy [grin].

The group of us then walked from Tep, across the Harvard Bridge, and through the Institvte--a brief dip in nostalgia without getting too maudlin. We were headed over to Cambridge Brewing Company--I demanded that our priority was to eat outside on a day as beautiful as this one, and CBC fit the bill pretty well.


As background, when U5 and I were at CBC last, we saw one of these beer towers go by, and we both said, "We totally need to get one of those next time we're back." So here are two towers (split between 8 of us) Minas amber and Minas heather.


We then retired to an evening of wandering around town--ice cream at Tosci's, and hanging out in Kraken's swank bachelor pad in Cambridgeport. Overall, a good day.
