I’m a member of the Ivy Plus Society, a social group for young alumni of select schools. The other day I took Calpernia along to an event they had at Seven Grand, a bar we both like downtown.
I always enjoy meeting interesting people who are good at what they do, no matter what that is. I met a well-known cosmologist whose observations led to recent images of a star with a comet tail, a cardiology resident at UCLA, and a couple of other funny writers involved in the WGA strike.
If you went to one of the included schools, I urge you to join! They have a holiday party coming up in Santa Monica.
