e_clareMidwesterners congregate in New York City.
All right, so they don't congregate exactly. There's no organized gathering of Buckeyes and Hoosiers (at least not to my knowledge). But we do seem to find each other in unexpected places. At Kloss & Peter's house-warming party this weekend, I met two Oberlin grads and several IU kids, including one who grew up in Dayton. Yup.
Coincidences aside, the evening as a whole was essentially the best of the Silver Street parties, transplanted to Astoria. There was so. much. dancing. And we all stayed up way too late - not until sunrise, fortunately, and there wasn't a softball field for 3am frolicking this time, but it was still fantastic. Until we had to wake up and Do Things, and then I was so very tired and a very little bit hungover all day, on top of which it rained buckets in the city, and that's never fun.
However, buckets of rain do allow you to squish together beneath shared umbrellas, and there's something to be said for that. *halo!*
