October 7

Why is that date so special? Two reasons: It's both the Stuyvesant High School five-year reunion and the annual Dachshund Oktoberfest. The 'fest is, conveniently enough, held right outside NYU's library, which means I can combine taking tons upon tons of pictures of the canines with doing work. I'm tempted to make some remark along the lines of how a Stuyvesant reunion and a festival of dachshunds aren't necessarily such different events, but I'll restrain myself.
