Yesterday was hilarious. Our final lecture of the day was an alum who was talking to us about the Independent Press. Unfortunately, we were all distracted by the rampant, confirmed rumors that he’s taken a CPC student home every year after taking the class out for drinks. Terms like “notorious letch” were tossed around. Apparently last years chosen student actually came to the presentation.
After his brief evening presentation, he took us all out for drinks at the West End. I got out my camera and started taking pictures, and several pools were started to see who would go home with the letch.
Interestingly, the most letcherous moment I witnessed was our afternoon presenter, who had already been noted for moving closer and closer to female students who wanted to chat with him that afternoon. Witnessing the scene was quite frightening, poor little Jen backed against a table, big tall creepy literary agent moving closer and closer. Seconds before the photo was taken, he put both his hands on her shoulders and leaned in really close to say something. Seconds AFTER the photo was taken, we sent Nikki in to provide enough distraction for Jen to run off screaming. It was sort of horrific, but we took care of the situation. Never let it be said that women don’t watch out for eachother.
Look at all the photos here.
