Meredith and I took the train out to Connecticut to attend her five year college reunion.
Friday, May 25th
Heading north on the train on Friday night! We got picked up at the train station by a Wesleyan student and taken to campus so we could check-in. tags:meredith
Here's the dorm room we stayed in! After unpacking our stuff and settling in (aka - taking a quick nap)... tags:bed

When I got out of the shower on Saturday morning, Meredith had a cold one waiting for me. Hahaha. tags:meredith

Hahahaha! How amazing is this photo? "COLLEGE! WOOOOOO!" I pretty much spend the whole day sitting on the quad, enjoying the sunshine while Meredith caught up with old friends she hadn't seen in a while. tags:meredith

Later that night we met up with Catrinel (and her sneaky fifth of whiskey) and went to the reunion dinner. tags:catrinel

On the wall inside the building where we had dinner, there were a bunch of framed-pages from the college newspaper from years past! On my way to the bathroom, I stopped to read a bunch of them and came across this awesome pic of Cat from back in the day! Haha. tags:catrinel

Wesleyan is known for being one of the most "liberal" liberal arts school...so when I sat down to drop a deuce, I was sort of shocked to see that the walls of the stall were covered in awesomely-retarded, apostrophe-challenged, homophobic scribblings:
W-land is full of fag's, drag's
lezbow's and hoas.
Dicks are for Chicks Silly Faget!
Smells like fish, make it a dish!
Smells like colone, leave it Alone!
Smells fish taste like chicken
Plug your nose and keep one licen!
"Word'sto Live By" indeed!

On the way out of dinner, Cat and Meredith stopped at the small bar that was set up outside and started flirting with the bartender. Once they had his full attention, Catrinel leaned in and started flirting extra hard, and once Meredith deemed that the bartender was sufficiently distracted, she grabbed a full bottle of vodka from off the table and ran away with it! Hahahaha. COLLEGE! tags:meredith

Great success! Meredith shows off her trophy! tags:meredith

Here's Meredith a couple hours later, totally crunked on stolen vodka, squatting down in front of the best, unintentionally-funny vanity license plate... tags:meredith

Later that night, we went down to the quad... tags:tent

The next morning we did our best to clean up our sorta-destroyed dorm room. Here's me trying to get poster tack off of a towel. (We'd used to the poster tack to hang towels from the ceiling to try to dampen the brightness of the florescent lights). tags:towel
Sorry about the cranberry juice spills! tags:towel
We caught a ride back to NYC with Sarah and Catrinel. We pulled off the highway in the Bronx to get a fruit smoothie at some little roadside stand that was set up and I took a bunch of pics of... tags:cage
..the scary-ass blue-shell crabs that the juice guy had for sale. *shudder* tags:crab
