Yale/Rory Gilmore
I had my Rory Gilmore moment. Sort of. It happened when I found myself in New Haven at Yale. Yes. Yale. The school Rory chose to attend for college. The school where she studied for 4 seasons (minus her leave of absence). The school that was the setting for the Life and Death Brigade (inspiration for A and my Delta Alpha Omega’s In Omnia Paratus), the Harvard-Yale game tailgate party episode, the Yale Daily News, etc. This school is filled with so much history, prestige, and Gilmore-related memories. I may not have been on the undergrad part of campus, but I was on some part of the Yale campus. As I walked through the halls where famous footsteps (I assume) had preceded my own, I felt the connection to something historical, something important, something Gilmore. Or it could have been all in my head. Either way, I felt, for a minute or two, like Rory. If only I could find Stars Hollow would it have been complete. Well, at least I got to fly out of Hartford.
On an unrelated note, A pointed out that while in Connecticut we forgot to look for Stonybrook (setting for the Baby-Sitters Club).
