Day II

8:15AM: MetroRail from Arlington to Rosslyn. Apparently Northern Virginia is one big spread out suburb of DC and anyone who walks for transportation is booed and taunted. However due to our missing one of the free buses to campus from Rosslyn Station and the next one not being due for 20 minutes we decided to ruff it over Key Bridge.

Nice View

...up the Stairs Of Mordor...

Fun Fact: these are the stairs from the final scene of The Exorcist; appropriate since you feel like death after climbing them

9AM: Had planned on checking out some more workshops and "Owl and the Sparrow" but alas, the volunteers need help and we showed up just in time. So for a few hours before lunch and a good while afterward we helped out setting up the equipment for VASCON LIVE and assembling the centerpieces for the Gala.



12:30PM: Lunch! Finally got to meet up with some of the home crew from the University of Pittsburgh and mingle a bit with some new friends.

Fun Game: Which of these VASCON attendees from Pitt is actually Vietnamese?

All this was eaten in like 20-25 min.

1:30PM: Back to preparing the centerpieces. I hope you guys appreciated the TLC that went into those at the Gala, especially since they used up all the yellow long stem roses in the Northeastern United States. VASCON love

This isn't gay at all

6:30PM: Gala & VASCON LIVE

VASCON LIVE video coming soon

10PM: Help the sound equipment guys break down the stage. Are all university kitchen's connected to a labyrinth? Anyway, below is a pic of just a handful of the micro-army that works behind the scenes to make things like VASCON LIVE possible. And they rock hard.

11:30PM: Party! And now your moment of Zen!!
