Everybody Providence Now...
As you already know, my sister graduated from Brown this past weekend. The weather was beautiful, the activities were plentiful, and much fun was had by all. We arrived in Providence on Friday and got ourselves ready to attend the big Dance. They blocked off the main green and set up tables and a dance floor. There were thousands of alumni, parents, graduates, and faculty. It was so crowded you could barely walk without bumping into someone. They had two bands on opposite sides of the green, one playing oldies the other more recent tunes. This event began the entire weekend and people seemed to be having a great time despite the hot and humid weather that night. The rest of the weekend was filled with graduation ceremonies, speakers, food, celebrity sightings (Dustin Hoffman, Danny Devito, Masi Oka (who plays Hiro Nakamura on Heroes) Susan Sarandon, Kate Burton...and many others). We were treated to a special song sung acapella by BB King at the all school commencement ceremony which was a very special treat. I will hopefully get around to posting some of the photos I took later on this evening. We ended the weekend with a workout, moving all of my sister's stuff out of her dorm and into the car. Many parents were helping their children move out and much arguing could be heard. Ahhh, the days of the egg crate. I miss those days.
