How I Managed to Score Both Free Beer and a Free Hard Hat

After the midterm exam (kicked ass on personal jurisdiction, dropped the ball on rigorous pleading requirements for misrepresentation) we went out to McFadden's. The deal was that you pay $10 and get a bracelet that gives you all-you-can-drink. But Guilarme and I, after an aborted attempt to go to a benefit concert ("can we just give you ten dollars?" I said, really wanting to help Brian Avery) were too late to get the bracelets. So what did we do? We just hit up Anne who had a bracelet (imagine Jesse Miller, except she looks like Celeste, reads The Economist and is very drunk, almost to the point of heading home with the guy she's talking to when I interupt her) to get us free drinks. So I score three free beers off McFadden's.

Later Guilarme and I go upstairs to see if Liz is up there. She isn't, but we see a box of hardhats with a building project written on them and a bunch of people in ties milling about. "Dude, we have to get a hat," Guilarme says.

When I'm leaving at about 8:30 the box is gone, but several hats are stashed behind messenger bags and portfolios. I snag one and run out the door.

So that's how I got three beers and a hard hat by sticking it to the man.
