The rumor at Georgetown when I was there was always that we could have been invited to the Ivy League, but the nursing school kept us out...However, after a weekend at Penn, I think the real reason was the Ivy League kids couldn’t compete with the Georgetown kids’ party habits. While there was a no pants party going on outside just a few doors from my brother, inside my brother’s party, there were numerous collegiate violations: smaller-than-regulation shot glasses, refusual to fill shot glasses to the brim for power hour, discussion of girlfriends and honor societies at the peak of power hour, requests for a power hour intermission, and more. Despite these violations, I had a good time with the college kids and commend one of them in particular for taking double turns after arriving late to the power hour festivities (something my friends have never thought of doing). He was also the one person who accompanied us for my brother’s first Saturday night at the bar, where the fun continued, thanks in large part to the gentleman covered in Star of David bling who decided to fund our night out. I’m almost positive this is because I’m not out that much in Philly, but it seems like there’s always a more interesting crowd in Philly bars. Plus (even though we went to McDonald’s for delicious and nutritious late-night quarter pounders) the option of Wawa at any hour outweighs the going-out benefits of almost any other city.
As for documentation of the evening:


Look at all the fist-pumping fun we're having! I believe the reasoning behind this was "Hey, if we all do something cool can we make it onto your blog?" Mission accomplished (except for the doing something cool part).










Aw. Brother and sister. And some random guy, who may or may not have thrown up on himself earlier at the bar.






Brother stares down glass of whiskey, looks up at sister finishing her drink and says "You're my drinking hero."






In other exciting news from the night, it turns out the same brother/sister team that appears in this blog is the team that brought Degrassi to Penn. The entire school is obsessed, and it's all because of me watching Degrassi regular as a tot in NYC and then taking interest in Degrassi Jr. High when I saw it again and spreading word to my brother.
