Even though I missed the Pride parade party on a friend's roof deck, there was plenty of celebrating today. One of my MIT classmates was also graduating with a Master's degree this week, and his parents were in town so he through a celebratory bbq today. Another classmate and I arrived at a standard fashionably late time, an hour after the start, and we were still the first ones there. We continued on for many hours, which also involved the joining to the party of another displaced "tropical" party. Apparently they started out at an apartment in Inman that was just too small and were digging the idea of a backyard bbq-style party.
It was great to see so many of the MIT classmates and friends I have met over the years. The evening culminated in seeing a performance at the Cantab (downstairs) of a friend's band, dancing our arses off, and some nice late-night chats. What a way to go out.
