Last week, some people from my section went to the Sam Adams' Brewery. Since it seemed like a Boston kind of thing to do, I decided to go and get out of Cambridge which rarely happens. It ended up being a pretty interesting affair.We arrived a little before 2:00 pm hoping to get in the 2:00 tour. However, they were full until 3:30. With the prospect of 1.5 hours to kill, I was hoping we would to go to the nearby cafe and hang out, especially since it was raining and cold. But someone decided it would be fun to walk about 25 minutes to the closest bar so that we could get a drink. For most of the group, this turned into 2 rounds in under 30 minutes, where some people had more than 2 to help others finish their drinks. We trekked back to the brewery to make it for the 3:30 tour. It seems that the earlier alcohol consumption may have released some inhibitions, and one particular classmate kept on asking questions during the tour which made it pretty interesting.
I was somewhat embarrassed by it but laughed nonetheless. At least I got a souvenir mug out of it! Here are some of my classmates at the tasting.
I also got to see Wicked last Wednesday - a great way to celebrate the end of mid-terms. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. I'm into musicals, and it's been a while since I've seen something that I thought was REALLY REALLY good. The storyline is clever and the music is good too. One cool thing was that my classmate that organized the trip to see the show used to work with the traveling production company for Rent. So after the show we got to meet the company managers and the actor that played the Wizard. I love the HBS hook-up!More to come... Jason and Alan visit Boston!
