This post is for Alex, who actually reads and seems to like this blog.  Hi Alex!

One of my goals for this semester was to spend more time getting to know my classmates.  It turns out that they are not only brilliant academically, but extremely fun socially.  New Haven has its share of “interesting” bars, including Hula Hanks, or as we fondly call it, Hula “Skanks.”  I walk past this bar almost every day on my way to work and have always been curious.   Some people claim that it is extremely fun, while others won’t go within 100 yards of the place for fear of getting stabbed.  My classmates and I decided we would risk a potential stabbing and give it a shot.   I am glad we decided to do so, because we ended up having a fantastic time!  We did see our fair share of skanks, as well as a few random old men with sun glasses on inside the club, but the music was good, and nobody got groped, robbed, or assaulted, so I consider the night a great success!

As with anything in life, its not where you go, or what you do, but who you do it with that matters.
