Senior Week: Pace Yourself on the Excitement
Do we really care about the rain? Stop thinking about it.
Again, it’s on! Kickin’ it tonight with The Cataracs at the Boston House of Blues. A few more tips – for the day – for folks in the know:
- The party starts at 10. No official theme, tonight, but might we suggest “unashamed fly-ness.” Might be time for you to have your stylist pull a couple of things for you. (Remember – save the cocktail dress and wingtips for Thursday’s Senior Ball. (Sport the sky-high sandals for sure.)
- Pace yourself! We hear there’s an unofficial bar review throughout the afternoon and early evening. Security at the HOB is strict – an inadvertent stumble or weird remark is a great way to ensure that you’re listening to the jams on the sidewalk. (Think of it like airport screening and you’ll be in good shape.)
- Don’t forget to bring your ticket and your I.D. (A cash bar for those 21 or older will be available, but you must have a valid license or passport.)
- You know, there’s a happening scene around Fenway – make sure you and your friends make arrangements to get there and back home safely.
- Parking is tough in the Fenway area – leave your old school G6 at your crib!
