You see, at the GSB, there is a longstanding tradition, that every year, for abour 12 hours, just about the entire MBA school (this year we have 500+ guys out of 2 years of 375 each) goes to Vegas for about, well, 12 hours - all dressed in 1970s clothes - and has a huge party.
It all starts in class that day, with some people (Such as myself) wearing costumes to class (can you spot in this photo who did?!) ...
... then continues with all of us filling 90%+ of seats on a few SouthWest flights - see this queue ...
... and when I say 90% of the plane, I mean 90% of the plane! We were BIG. Singing Aerosmith songs on the way over, causing all sorts of "turbulence" ...
Once there, we crammed into limos (when you squeeze 20+ people into a limosuine, it's actually cheaper than a taxi!) and headed downtown to the Hard Rock Cafe Bar, off the Vegas strip ...
Where there were LOTS of us hanging out together - in all sorts of 70s outfits!
After a few hours there, we all moved to Studio 54 at MGM Grand - a very cool dance club (with a liking for paper confetti and people dancing on raised platforms) ...
Finally - 5:30AM. Many of us are booked on the first flight of the morning back to Stanford. The waiting area becomes a bit of a substitute for bed ...
It was sure one heck of a half day!
