College house parties often lean towards the surreal, but as I passed students playing chess in the entry I knew this one would be odd. Skirting the movie watchers in the living room, I went down to the basement. Amazingly, several high school friends were standing in the basement listening to a jazz band take turns with freestyle rappers. By the end of the night there were about a dozen of us, all who had went to different colleges around the state, fondly talking old times in a random bedroom.
