Zoo Party

Hi there,
So I went to the strangest get-together that I might have ever gone to before in all my days. I worked with this girl named Emily a few summers ago at the Biostation in Michigan. She now is a graduate student her at OU and we hang out pretty much every weekend. Well, this last weekend I went to her house for what she called, "a Zoo party." Well, turns out, if you get a bunch of Bio-nerds together in Norman, they throw the weirdest parties ever. Thankfully, I was driving that night so I was able to watch everyone and make mental notes of all the crazy stuff that happened. The first thing I noticed when I got to the party was a few professors were there. I've been to my share of parties with professors, but never have I been to one here in Norman. They are always at a Biostation or something like that.
Second funny thing I noticed was that some people took the concept of Zoo party seriously. I think most people just thought it was a bunch of Bio-nerds, but some actually thought that they should bring their pets. There were a few dogs running around, but the weird thing was the taranchula. It turned into a photo opportunity because before you knew it, everyone was holding the spider and taking each others picture. I got a kick out of my girlfriend holding it because she hates anything that could be mistaken for a bug.
