Hopping in my car within the next hour or two. Arrival in Ann Arbor is imminent.

Yay!

Hopping in my car within the next hour or two. Arrival in Ann Arbor is imminent.

Don't forget to bring a life-size cutout of me so you guys can act like I'm there.

Done.

In fact, I may have told the cab driver last night that my name was Scarlet.

I love this. Although I have this fear that if I go to law school with you people, my real name will be eclipsed and I'll be called scarlet in real life.

wait... it's not???

No silly, her first name is Frankly.

My womanly wiles are a ruse- I'm actually a big middle aged dude named Frank Lee Scarlet.

LOLOLOLOL.

Wait... so you don't look like your tar????

Wore my preview weekend shirt out shopping today. A cashier told me she grew up in Ohio and therefore had to hate me. I thought it was a joke, but she proceeded to be rude/snide to me.

Strange.

Sounds about right. I wore this shirt around A2 and people loved it. Didn't have the balls to wear it in Ohio, though.

WHAT'S REAL? WHAT'S FAKE? SCARLEPTION.

I like you Frank Lee.

Not to pull a Band-Aid off a healed wound, but the food I've eaten so far in A2 has not only been very good, but also incredibly cheap. And, I am from San Francisco which has more restaurants per capita than any other city in America. I know good food, and Ann Arbor has good food.

Good food in Ann Arbor? Preposterous. A friend of mine knows good food, and she proclaims haute cuisine does not exist in the plebeian town of Ann Arbor.

I was pleased with the selection of restaurants. There seemed like a ton of good ethnic, cheap choices. The only thing missing is maybe higher end things

There are some things on Main that are high end. Chop house, black pearl, vinology, etc.

I'm referring more to the higher end places I'd go to in Chicago. Nothing against those choices, but they're just not really on the same level.

She may have a combined household income of 60k, and we may be subsisting on student loans, but that does not stop us from gorging on twelve-course degustation ceremonies with the likes of Thomas Keller and Charlie Trotter. What is a thousand-dollar meal, in the grand scheme of things? We will graduate with over two hundred thousand dollars of debt. Why not spend a grand on a meal, once or twice a month, to alleviate the stress of law school? The debt is inconsequential, for BigLaw awaits us all.

You say you know good food, coming from San Francisco. Where in Ann Arbor might one find foie gras au torchon, Pain de Campagne, or Pruneaux d’Agen? Where are the Chez Panisses, Gary Dankos, or French Laundries? My friend and I will be sorely disappointed if we have to drive to Chicago for a good meal.

mich is really really beautiful. somehow that makes the cold more bearable.

My own brand of friendly advice is to probably avoid calling other posters "pompous" for voicing their opinions when you're giving your own friendly advice.

I call it like I see it. The fact you're used to a "specific type of restaurant" is why I think you're pompous. Essentially, you're saying you only like expensive restaurants.

She's not saying she only likes expensive restaurants. She said the sort of restaurant she tends to spend too much money at doesn't exist in AA which was probably a good thing considering she's going to be a poor student for the next few years. Then, you inquired how this could be the case, considering how expensive certain restaurants in AA can be. When she said that it wasn't the price of the food that she was after but a certain style of restaurant you called her pompous and claimed that she only likes expensive restaurants. You're not making much sense and you're being rude for no reason.

I'm sorry you think I'm being rude. I wasn't really intending to be. Maybe I read too much into what she said. I did, however get several PMs from people in this thread saying they felt like she was coming off pompous as well. I was merely trying to give her a friendly warning. Maybe I misread her...I don't know. My point was that quality =/= price and saying these kinds of things can and do get taken out of context and give people an impression.

Dude, quit being such a blowhard.

[The Duck]

On that note, it's been realz.

Can't believe it. Purposefully snaked by a fellow student. Disappointed to say the least. Please don't let this shape your view of Michigan.
