This weekend we had our English Graduate Student Association kickoff party, and it was a lot of fun. I thought I'd share some pictures.
The night started with one of our professor's jazz bands. Dennis Perry (he's great--teaches Hitchcock and Poe and will hopefully be on my thesis committee) plays the jazz guitar. They were fantastic and are real deal (we had to pay them). Dennis is the nicest, quietest, most unassuming guy ever.
After the jazz band we split into groups and performed Tom Stoppard's fifteen minute Hamlet. A lot of the spouses and kids joined in and it was hilarious. One group would yell "time" throughout their play, and then the audience would choose an adverb that they had to act like. So they did "pregnantly," "chicly," "insanely," "angrily".
We had a fun time. Here's the GSA presidency from L-R Spencer (social coordinator), Me, Sarah (scrivener editor--we're good friends), and Sara (secretary). Brooke (the VP) had to leave early.

I love the adverb game! Granted, I've never played it while acting Hamlet, but it's a fun game. Sounds like you had a great time. Fun pictures!

Sounds like it was a homerun Anna. Congrats! We can't wait to see you and Joe in a week and a half.
