Grassroots Day 6 - Tigers & Lychee Martinis

Day 6 on the road and we are experiencing the beginning signs of fatigue and delirium.  Sung is starting to speak in strange, Asianish tongues, Julie is hugging us less, and my eyes are sprouting veins larger than my heart valves.  But the great thing is is that we're having an amazing time visiting all these student and community groups!

Our grassroots journey today takes us to Princeton N.J. to meet the many AA students at one of America's finest Ivy Leages.  We hopped the New Jersey transit (a rather crappier Amtrak) and spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon hanging out with the Princeton students.  But the coolest part of our trip was getting to eat at an official Princeton eating club.  All I can say is that I know now what a wealthy landowner must have felt in the 1700s, eating a fine meal on the porch of his colonial mansion overlooking his kingdom.  The crazy thing is, Princeton students eat like this everyday.  Life does not suck if you go to Princeton.

Go to Princeton and this is how you will eat everyday.  though we had meat loaf and fried chicken, we were told that they had king crab legs a few nights earlier...

After dinner we said our goodbyes and headed back to NYC.  We met up with Dustin Nguyen and his wife, Angela.  They were both in town because Angela was receiving an award from the Christopher Reeve Foundation.  The night was certainly nutty...too many people drinking too many of them lychee martinis.  Good times.  We shared a few laughs, had some Vietnamese food, and, to cap off the evening, watched Dustin & Anglea drift her chair on the NYC sidewalks.  -Roger
