Last night, Will and I attended the Law School auction, an annual event to raise funds for students working in public interest fields. There were hundreds of items to bid on, from ski trips to oil changes.
The alcohol at the event is all-you-can-drink and is poured by student volunteers who fill your glass right to the very brim. I think the alcohol serves a very important purpose and that purpose is to increase the amount of money people are willing to spend on things they don't really need.
Case in point: last night somebody paid $200 for a year's use of the law school library's rubber band ball.
Oh, that is too funny! At least it's for a good cause! :)
