The 7th Annual 2ndwest MIT CryoFAC


So last night, for the 7th year in a row, my old hall at MIT put on the “CryoFAC” event. Following a tradition started in 2000, lots of ice cream of various flavors were manufactured from scratch and frozen with liquid nitrogen. Good stuff. Just for nostalgia’s sake, here’s the advertisement for the very first CryoFAC:

    Minor point dude. If the first CryoFAC was in 2000, then this would in fact be the eighth iteration (which is somewhat amazing). Does EC even have FACs any more?

    Wow, I can’t believe we started an eight year tradition. The Munroe Triangle strikes again!
