Another first...

Last night, Student Council hosted a Tailgate Party for the All-University Games (which is kind of like a school Olympics, where all of the colleges within NYU compete against each other in a bunch of different games). Anyways, our goal with the Tailgate Party was to recruit people to the CAS (college of arts and science) team and to generally get people excited about the AllU Games next week. To really achieve the spirit of a tailgate, we rented a root beer keg (my first!) and had people playing root beer pong. (try getting a 15 gallon keg into a school building...) The night was pretty successful, but we have so much root beer left over.

Same night, different first:
I was watching out my window last night after the Tailgate Party and I noticed that there was a lot of activity going on in the river. 3 police boats were searching the waters and there were a ton of police cars and ambulances parked by the side of the river and on the Brooklyn Bridge. My friend called NY1 (the local news channel) to report all the activity/find out what was going on and it turns out that someone called the police saying that they thought they had seen a woman jump off the bridge. After about an hour, the search came to an end and they all left. I've been checking the news to see if I can find anything about it, but it doesn't look like it made the news.
