This weekend our friends Marissa & Scott, soon to be the McNamaras, visited us from Boston for a weekend of feasting, culture, and gaming fun. We started with late-night DDR (sorry, 11C) and Wits and Wagers, a game of guessing and betting kind of like The Price is Right meets a roulette (except about trivial world knowledge rather than trivial consumer knowledge, and no random luck involved, really - so nothing like those two!). We (barely) woke up next morning to catch a quick breakfast before a short car trip to the Joyce for an afternoon of David Parsons Dance Company - I just can't resist seeing them again for the sheer pleasure of witnessing Caught again...

Winners here were widely contested depending on the party's different tastes - I personally liked the Robiola du latte, part of the Sinful trio of cheeses on offer as a "flight."
We basically needed a lot of down time for digestion after that, so headed back home for a more reserved night of couch-vegging and game-playing.
