A chance of meatballs

In case you haven’t noticed yet, our team likes to throw memorable birthday parties.  Our team is also quite young at heart–none more so than our fearless leader Wu.  Consequently, we decided there was no better theme for his birthday bash than our favorite movie this semester, “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs”.  We had a smorgasbord of food items that fell from the sky in the movie, and an awesome spaghetti and meatballs cake.

We dressed up Wu as his favorite character from the movie, the monkey Steve.  In case you haven’t seen the film, Steve is outfitted with a device that verbalizes his profound thoughts, which range from the self-focused “Steve!” to his favorite snack “Gummy bears!”.

Both Sam and Rach dressed up as “Sam Sparks”, the perky and nerd-in-denial weather reporter.

Jude rounded out the movie cast as the main character and crazy scientist Flint Lockwood.

A good time was had by all, largely due to the great plenitude of delicious food, among which was a replica of the Jello house in the movie.  In the movie, Flint and Sam spend the day hanging out in the Jello house, so we made sure to actually put a person in the replica.  Can you find him?

Happy Birthday, Wu!  Thanks for all of your hard work!
