A few nights ago, the Model UN club at school hosted a student vs. professor trivial persuit game. The game itself was uninteresting, with the professors winning 161-153, after the tie breaking challenge of constructing a vehicle to safely cradle an egg being dropped from a 3 meter height.
What was interesting was that following the game and a raffle, at which I didn't win anything, one of the professors got up with his band and performed. They were a Rush cover band and were very good. Following the mini concert (where the drummer was away from his girlfriend on their 10 year anniversary), the professor, members of the MUN club, and I went to a local bar and sat outside for several hours, talking and drinking a few beers.
Drinking with a professor after watching them perform on stage is not something that you can really get in the states, though you could get at least part of it before they raised the drinkning age to 21, and I am told by reliable sources that this sort of thing still happens in Canada.
A weird, but fun thing to do on a Wednesday night.
