Senior Week Update: What Rain?

IMG_2079

We’re not going to let a few raindrops stop our fun? I didn’t think so!

It’s on! You’re still dancing on the Harbor tonight. Here are few tips for folks in the know:

  • First, you’ve got to get there.The party starts on the boat at 6:45 p.m.  We’re dealing with sailors – they like doing things on time.
  • Get to the right dock.  It’s the World Trade Center pier.  There’s always a person or two who go elsewhere.  If you’re at the Aquarium pier, Rowes Wharf, or the BU Boathouse you’re at the wrong place – hightail it over to the World Trade Center!
  • Now for the party.  The theme is nautical. We recommend your best Sperry wear.  You can Gap it out, or even go Old Navy. No need to get your stylist involved.  Save your cocktail dress or your wingtips for Thursday’s Senior Ball. (Okay to sport you Betsy Johnsons though.)
  • Dress warm. We know it could put a crimp in your nautical-style choice, but it could be a little chilly. Most of the decks are covered, but prep up anyway.
  • Don’t forget to bring your ticket, your I.D., and good, old-fashioned cash – no debit or credit cards – you’ll be on a boat. (A cash bar for those 21 or older will be available, but you must have a valid license or passport.)
  • Massachusetts State Troopers will check you in at the dock and before you get on the boat. Good idea to be on your best behavior – mouthing-off is a sure fire way to ensure you get to have dinner with me in the hoosegow.
  • You get there on your own, but we’ll have buses waiting to get you back to campus (should be a return to campus around midnight). There’s a happening scene around the Waterfront area – if you decide to stick around after the boat ride, make sure you and your friends make arrangements to get home safely.
  • No matter what you do, don’t fall — or jump — off the boat!
  • (The evening’s suggested hashtag: #imonaboat (if you have to ask, you’re not up on it))

Finally, I can’t make it on the boat. Snap and tweet a photo or two – of course, I’ll be watching the photo streams.  You never know, best picture from the evening might win a prize.

Have a great time.  Stay safe.

Peace.
