Blast at the Bash

ALA/ProQuest Scholarship Bash
Saturday, June 25, 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm

By evening on Saturday, I had been up way too long, eaten way too little, and stressed way too much over an interview that almost didn't happen but ultimately did. I was tempted to skip the Bash, but already-paid-for food and a visit to a museum (The Museum of Science and Industry) that I had fond memories of from childhood was enough to get me on the bus. I was satisfied on both counts. I didn't see a single person I knew, but here are pictures to prove I was there.

Robby the Robot greeted us at the front of the robot exhibit:


The robot exhibit was based on some guy's collection of old toy robots--many made of tin and holding up better, I suspect, than today's plastic toys.


I also enjoyed the model train exhibit where we went from the El in Chicago, across the midwest farm country, through the mountains, and ended up in Seattle. Here's the trestle bridge in the mountains:
