Sunday in Central Park

We spent pretty much the entire day in Central Park yesterday.

It was a beautiful day.

We stumbled upon a Checkers and Chess Pavilion where you could borrow Checkers/Chess sets and play in the park.



We literally sat for hours and it was so simple but so much fun.



Also they had popsicles.




After Checkers, we sat in the grass.



And played hilariously ridiculous games like catch....left-handed....without depth-perception...



AC's new Leica is pretty incredible and takes super cool photos that are perfect for immortalizing your best-friendships.



It was such a great love-filled day.




And it culminated in a drunken dinner and Compliment Party which is exactly what it sounds like...we went around in circles saying really nice things about each other's hair and personalities and senses of style.



What a great way to end a weekend and start a week!

Could have done without the plaidpigs though.



They almost ruined everything!

The Day After

Yesterday was for sure one of the top 10 most epic days of my life.

Like last year, it was the day AFTER Campus Dance that was the big blowout.

It began with my 2nd Annual Post-Campus Dance FunFest.

For a week, weather.com had been predicting rain rain rain.

The morning was foggy. But like most things, it just worked out and around 10, the sun triumphed and out came the meat patties.




An assortedly wonderful group of friends turned up. No drama. Just lots of getting along and awesomeness.




And fish catching...



And tanning...



And general horseplay in water of questionable toxicity.






Dom and Birthday Boy Felix arrived around 5, bringing with them the promised torrential downpour.



But happily there had been a contingency plan all along and we waited out the rain with an epic 20-person game of Battle of the Sexes Taboo.



Before long, the sun came out again, as if nothing had ever happened.



The early evening was spent playing Race Wars Taboo: Whities vs. Darkies.



The results were as would be expected...



...........................................

Pre-gaming brought us to KG's place where we listened to some rockin' tunes until DJ Sammy's "Heaven" came on.

I'm not sure if it was Gen or Taku who originated it, but in keeping with tradition, the lights went off, glowsticks came out, and we had ourselves a 7-minute Rave.









......................................

From KG's, we made the trek down Thayer and ended up at Viva.

It was pretty much a private party.

It was pretty much awesome.










Towards the end of the evening, Felix, ever true to form, disappeared.

We found him though. Looking incredibly guilty with a certain Binnster.



Kathryn was NOT pleased.
