Probably not. They are architects. Not quite the AC/DC crowd. Flatgreg: I ask that same question everyday, with or without the ball. Ramon: I'm sure they've done a shaft party. Erin: Well I had totally forgotten about Fire Island when I said I'd go to the prom. But then I remember oh shit that is Fire Island weekend extravaganza so I did not go to prom. It's OK I did not have a ball gown anyway. Haha ball gown. Karim: The worst is all the waste. One night with hundreds of balls and then the next dsay they are thrown out. I'll ask what they did with them. They should've freecycled them at least. Ugh. After Fashion Week my neighborhood is always littered with stupid leftover stuff that will never biodegrade and cost thousands of dollars to set up. What a waste. (I live a block away from a fancy 'event' space which is where the prom was and where Fashion Week holds their crap). Fly: Maybe I can send you some leftover balls for your coworkers. Mr. Pony: Shut up. Ramon: Oh dear. Oh dear. Those are so ugly, wtf. I'm OK with speakers just looking like speakers. Like seriously. I'm ok with it. JimBob: The architects you have met have not grown into full mature adult architects. Eventually they will get there but hopefully it'll happen far enough away from campus where you don't have to witness it. Maddie: Deep down inside they are laughing. I mean I laugh at balls jokes everyday and I kind of think I'm a little mature. For example, my friend Erin jsut said ballgown and I was like hee hee hee. Really. If you do not laugh at that you are retarded. Steve: Holy crap you are a genius. This ball is getting in my way big time. Everywhere I turn, there it is. I'm trying to sit and type on it becuse I hear it's good for yoru back, but guess what? It sucks. Debora: That is a good question. Probably not. They are architects. Not quite the AC/DC crowd.

By chance, I have consulted with a few architecture students about their work recently, and near the end of these meetings, I have asked them “Hey, by the way, have you ever heard of ‘Peacha Kucha’?”, or “Have you ever been to an architect ball?”, or “Do you have balls?”, and they just look at me like I am from Uranus. Are these discriminating features of students versus seasoned practitioners? Perhaps their balls simply haven’t had a chance to fall off yet due to their professional immaturity. Please advise.

I'm thinking you called up your friend and begged for him to whisk you away, scaring him with stories of cupped balls. Is this because I tried to make you promise to send me a picture of one ms annie in a ballgown. damn you. I want my picture.
