Party Weekend

The events of this blog took place on April 29th and 30th, 2011.

On one of the last weekends of the school year, the LGO Class of 2011 came together for some GREAT events. On Friday, the classmates who live in Beacon hill invited everyone over for a progressive party where everyone moved from apartment to apartment. It was great to see all of the Beacon Hill apartments - which I would generalize as old yet remolded and very nice with tons of character (fireplaces, windows, skylights, etc).

The evening was beautiful and we ended up on the roof of one of the buildings for a while. I was able to snap of few great pictures of the city.

Then on Saturday, the most ambitious party ever took place. In the city of cambridge, several classmates who live together decided to host a pig roast. None of them had roasted a pig before, thus I was impressed yet skeptical. They bough a pig, rented a grill, started cooking at 7am, and had about 100 people over in their small backyard. The pig roast was AWESOME and went off without a hitch. They even had almost perfect weather, not too warm, not too cold.

We asked if they would host a pig roast every weekend, they respectfully declined.

Spring Gala

Spring Gala... Basically prom for MBA's. In a nutshell - awesome!

We headed down to Newport, RI, home to HUGE mansions on the cliffs of the ocean coast. The weather was awful (rainy, cold, and windy), but the sights were still stunning. I can only imagine what the town looks like on a beautiful day.

The Rosecliff Mansion was rented out for our event. Here's a picture from the 2nd floor looking out over the front garden.

As we entered the masion we were greeted with hor d'oeuvres and champagne. The house was completely open for us to tour. Downstairs there was the entry room complete with grand staircase.

Also on the first floor was the ballroom, where our dance was to be held.

There were several other sitting rooms on the first floor. The 2nd floor consistent of mostly overly large rooms filled with an usual amount of uncomfortable looking chairs and other furniture.

Dinner was delicious. The company was grand. The evening was unforgettable.

I'm Behind!

I'm behind on my blog. I'll keep things in chronological order with something easy to get me in back in gear. I went to the grocery back in April and found this sitting across the street as I left... it's an REO Speed Wagon!

I forget the specific year (I want to say the 1920's), but it was really cool to see. Lots of levers you don't see in cars today (and missing a lot of buttons that you do see in cars today). For those interested, here's the wikipedia page.

Enjoy the pics (I hope). I'll keep the posts coming.
