wassail mug
today is the one year anniversary of twentythreesome, and it seems only fitting to post something about my alma mater, which has been getting a lot of attention lately on my real blog.
every year (when i was a student, at least), claremont mckenna college hosted a madrigal feast -- it's a throw back to medieval times when people ate unidentifiable meats, drank wassail from special mugs, and kissed each other in exchange for fruit. or maybe those were just our traditions.
in any case, i was at my friend's house the other night, enjoying a nice mug of beer, when i noticed my mug was "permanently borrowed" from one such madrigal feast. imagine my delight when i noticed that this particular mug was from the 23rd annual madrigal feast, which occurred in 2005. the year 2005 is particularly notable here because it is my graduation year, and the last year i attended a madrigal feast. cheers!
