Beers and Bellydancing (Nadav's doing the dancing, that is)

There are big things going on tonight:

First, we'll be giving some of our younger colleagues a crash course in 80's culture - the movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, will be shown in the econ conference room starting at 5:00 p.m. Chips, soda, and other things left over from the BA/MA information sessions will be available for consumption. Special thanks to Susree Chakraborty for unearthing this cinematic delight.

Second, it's time to take young Eric Mingione out on the town to celebrate his 23rd birthday. We'll be leaving Hunter to go grab some sushi, where his friends can show their appreciation for the hardest working student in the program.

Third -and not without a little bit sadness- the program's patron saint, Papa Seck, will be saying goodbye as he returns to Senegal. I encourage everyone to come out and give him a big send-off. His gathering will be at the Belgian Bar at 148 W. 4th Street, starting at 9 o'clock. I know I'm speaking for a lot of people when I say that he'll be deeply missed.

Oh yeah....and then we're going out to some of Aziz Kassim's favorite places (hence the title). Lana & Lana is expected to join us.
