Barrister's Ball

After all of the race participants cleared out, and I got a good nap in after all of the watching of the runners, we had to get ready to go to our very last Barrister's Ball (aka Law School Prom).

Barrister's Ball is always great because we get to get dressed up and hang out with friends over a good meal.  It's also a little scary because there are some REALLY interesting people in law school, most of whom are would a little tight, and the combination of this and several open bars breeds some pretty awkward scenes.

We started off at Morton's steakhouse.  Our social butterfly friend, Dave, arranged for a bunch of us to meet up in a private room that had a projector where we could all catch the VCU game.  This game was a huge deal for everyone in Richmond, not to mention the VCU fans.  We even had a bit of a hard time getting downtown, as they blocked off several of the streets as soon as the game started, in anticipation of a potential riots in the event that they won.
Watching the game while things were still going well...

Not too enthralled with their performance toward the end...

We did in fact continue on to the actual event, but of course by that point I totally forgot to take any pictures.  Whoops.  

We had a great time, and only 34 more days until graduation! Hooray!
