My sophomore year, I was an ASM for Picasso at the Lapin Agile and my counterpart ASM was Danielle. We discovered that we shared a mutual love of Chick-Fil-A milkshakes so on the very, extremely rare occasion that we got out of rehearsal super early, Danielle and I would rush across town for milkshakes. We usually walked in at about 9:55 and ordered in time for them to close at 10:00. This tradition continued for the past two years whenever our crazy schedules opened up for a brief window.
At senior wills, there are usually one or two people that say something like "we got pancakes every Thursday, so find someone else and take them to get pancakes every Thursday and think of me." I was always skeptical if this actually worked, but Danielle suggested that I will her Chick-Fil-A Milkshakes at closing time, so I did. We decided that for my last time to participate in the tradition, we'd bring the newbie. Danielle chose for her companion a now sophomore named Claire and the three of us went last Wednesday (Bailey stowed away, but we like her too so it didn't matter).
We had a great time laughing and celebrating the close of the year over cookies and cream perfection. More than a good night with good friends, it was fun to see a bit of a legacy. Danielle is a precious friend to me and I've so loved having her around these past three years. Claire is also one of my favorite people so I was excited to be "replaced" by her and not someone else. It was a blast to spend an evening with these girls and to see how this kind of camaraderie will continue.
A side note, we actually went rather early (about 8:00) and they started closing down just our section while we were still there (about 9:00). We avoided the 9:55 rush, but we still did not miss the closing time experience :)
Here's Danielle with the new me (r-l):
