I've been dying to share photos from the event I pulled off last month through the MIT Club de France, our annual Toast to IAP, an event coordinated through all the MIT alumni clubs worldwide to happen more or less on the same evening. (We held ours a day late.) This is the one event per year that is totally open, free of charge, to the entire MIT alumni community in Paris which is larger than you'd think. I've been organizing this event for the past four years. This time around, instead of our standard bar/restaurant/wine bar venue, we went for a unique twist and privatized an art gallery. The art was bold, colorful, and modern-- but not so much so that you couldn't guess what the artist was depicting. The turn-out was solid, totalling around 80, and even with the high final count we kept the wine pouring and the finger food trays full all evening long. By the evening's end, I even had some freedom to mingle and enjoy myself. There were quite a few event-planning bumps along the way, and I am not certain the photographer will ever get back to us with the pictures, but I just had to share the "one more for the bucket list" accomplishment.
