Cracks at the Plumber's Ball

I just finished watching What Dreams May Come. What a great movie! I'd recommend watching it if you feel like bawling your eyes out for 2 hours.

So last night was the "Plumber's Ball". It was a good time, despite my shoes killing my feet (again! I don't think I'll ever learn!). At least we got in some dancing! Well, cocktails were a little disappointing, there were two small bowls of non-alcoholized punch that had to be shared amongst roughly 300 people. But the canapés were yummy! Dinner was at 7:00 in a concrete and steel girder monster of a room... classy! But we were on the end of King Edward pier and two of the walls in our banquet hall were floor-to-ceiling glass so we had a fantastic view of the Old Port... it's really beautiful to see it at night! Hmm, what else? Dinner was pretty good, standard banquet stuff, but we only had two bottles of wine for the entire table (of ten). No matter, there was more to be had at the (open) bar! The only problem with the bar was that people were getting drinks four at a time and other kept butting in line, so we had to wait about 45 minutes for our drinks. Meanwhile, the dj played about 20 calypso songs in a row, which are impossible to dance to without glow sticks... oh but wait... then came the glow sticks! Woo-hoo! I think that was my favourite part of the evening! Yeah, it doesn't take much! Another thing that was nice, was that there were 10 champagne flutes at every table, there was one for everybody, and we got to keep them! However, they were the kind that have the really long stem with no base so you have to stand them up in a vase of something. It was kinda weird that the Engineering faculty would give the graduates such poorly designed gifts! Ah, but they're pretty! We had to guard them with our lives though, people kept trying to take them from us! Anyway, we danced for a while and our night at the ball ended at 2:00 am. Then, Mike's brothers and Kim came and took us home, but not before a middle-of-the-night stop at "La Belle" for even more food!

It was a good night!
