Drunken gambling?

No. Tom was brilliant enough to suggest that we put all the vodka in a water bottle, which we did. When we came into Mystic, said water bottle was taken away from us. Fuck da police.

Funny story from my interview today. I was referred to the interview by a guy named Don Kahn, a colleague of my father. He told me to mention his wife's name, Phyllis Kahn, who is apparently quite big in Minnesota politics. Yesterday, Phyllis Kahn called my father and he told her that I was interviewing with Patty Wetterling tomorrow. "No," said Phyllis Kahn, "Amy Klobuchar." "Whatever," thought my father, "I probably just forgot the name since I'm a crazy mathematician." However, there was the following dialogue during the interview today:

Interviewer: So, apparently you were referred here by Phyllis Kahn.
Me: Yes. She's a family friend.
Interviewer: You know that Phyllis Kahn doesn't actually support Patter Wetterling, right?
Me: Yeah, isn't she supporting Amy Klobuchar?
Interviewer: Yeah, we just like to be sure that the people working for us are actually on our side.
Me: I guess she was just looking for a job for me.

I played it as cool as possible but I'm sure he thinks that I'm a spy from the Amy Klobuchar campaign. Goddamn mathematicians.
