It's almost mother's day weekend, so it must be ScavHunt time! For those of you not at the U of C, ScavHunt is a massive, 4-day scavenger hunt (which, odd-ly enough, appears in the Wikipedia article under University of Chicago). The list of items to find usually runs about 300 items, some of which must be found, while others must be made. Items can range from "power plants of Maryland" trading cards to "build a bowling alley in the back of an 18-wheeler" (which we did). It's wild and fun and a good chance to pretend we're not U of C students for a while (though with items like "Explian string theory using only sock puppets" and "prove, using the Axiom of Choice, that Max Mason dorm exists," it can be difficult).

Anyway, the list came out last night. The first item is always the list itself (how meta!), and this year the list was shredded through a paper shredder (?-- maybe just cut up, I didn't actually see it) and buried on the 57th Street beach. By the time Snell-Hitchcock dug it up and got it pieced together, it was almost 3 am, but they did share it with everyone. We got the list and almost immediately started planning the road trip, which is staying in Illinois this year. To make up for that, it's going everywhere in Illinois. And I do mean everywhere. I stayed until 9 am getting the road trip together, then went to golf and came home to sleep. Now it's almost time for Boys Gone Wilde, a fashion show at BSLC. Y'all should come out, at 7:30.
