Lawyer Party
So I went to a party on Saturday night that my good friend Erika and her roommate Ellen held. A nice little party with good beer and intelligent conversation - the kind of environment where I can talk to many different people and thrive. But this party was especially amusing...
Early in the evening, I was talking to several friends of Ellen who had worked with her at a summer camp. They are currently undergrads at Georgetown. The topic of campaigning came up (something I consider myself as much an expert on as the next guy) and they mentioned with a laugh "Yeah - there's this guy at Georgetown who's 22 and a freshman and he worked on the Kerry Campaign." Now who did that immediately remind me of? Nick Deane! So I texted him "Are you the only 22 year old freshman at Georgetown who worked for Kerry?" He wrote back "As far as I know." To which I responded "You're famous!" I followed up this cryptic text with a phone call the next day.
A little later I was throwing out Futurama quotes with some of the other party goers (including one of my favorites - "Why couldn't she have been the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part on the top and the lady part on the bottom!") At one point, one of them made a reference to a law firm in the District - the law firm my uncle works for. I asked them if they knew him. They said he worked in the office next door to them, and they knew him quite well. Then they pointed out the family resembleance.
I was also excited to discover that Harris Teeter carries Otter Creek - a fantastic Vermont beer that I was introduced to while in Vermont. An appropriate place for that.
