Saturday night here in Atlanta, worlds collided. Jake of Pure Pedantry, Evil Monkey of Neurotopia, Nick of the Neurocontrarian, a high school friend from South Carolina, and six of my fellow UM Neurokids all went out for tapas at Fuego (excellent mojitos!) and then danced the night away at Sutra next door. We shut the club down at 3am and then went back to our condo to drink a couple more hours. For the sake of retaining the last shred of dignity of all parties involved, I'll leave the details fuzzy (although I got free Hennessey, Nick got to first, and Evil Monkey was molested). But I will say that neuroscientists can get their freak on with Atlanta's finest.
