HARVARD-YALE PREGAME IN NYC FOR RECENT GRADS
It's already time to make our first pilgrimage as graduates to Cambridge as the football team takes the field and hands the Elis yet another humiliating defeat.
The van is already loaded with tailgate gear. But before we all converge on fair Harvard, the graduates living in New York City want to start the party early.
Join the rest of the Class of 2008, along with Harvard's recent graduating classes as we kick off an incredible weekend together. We've got the whole place to ourselves, the DJ will be spinning, the exotic cocktails will be poured, and the rest is up to you!
Where: Taj Lounge (http://www.tajlounge.com)
When: Thursday, Nov. 20, 10:00PM
How: RSVP to thegame2008nyc@gmail.com strongly recommended for expedited entrance.
