IvyGate’s Taking a Vacation: See You Sept. 1

Upgrade Flash to watch video

We’ve got the station wagon packed and Igloo full of beers. Meanwhile, those lucky freshman moving into the lauded zip codes (02138, 06520, 08540, etc etc), have their own road trip to sort out. And the Senate Finance Committee is doing whatever they’re going to be doing to make sure the American health care system stops killing people’s dads.

So IvyGate’s taking a little vacay. I’ll be working on my Member’s Only jacket collection—not a joke—and recruiting new writers. (Email me directly with discount codes for eBay Top Sellers.) We’ll be back on September 1st with a cache of embarrassing move-in mix-ups and pictures of Emma Watson’s underwear drawer.

After the jump, more Clark Griswold clips.

BREAKING: Ned Lamont’s Daughter Sits Near Alcoholic Beverage!

BREAKING: Ned Lamont's Daughter Sits Near Alcoholic Beverage!

Yep, we saw this one coming. It was only a matter of time before Emily Lamont, Harvard ‘09, fulfilled her filial obligation to embarrass her father Ned’s senatorial candidacy. This adorable shot shows Emily moments away from a can of Coors Light and a beer funnel. Now, it’s not 100 percent clear if that Coors is meant for her or that sweet dude in baby blue Lacoste. But we’re pretty sure the laws of physics say the person closer to the floor takes the rip.

See, Ned? This is what happens when you get the netroots involved! Lieberman, you owe us bigtime. Team Lamont, send angy e-mail here.

UPDATE 10:04 a.m.: The gentleman appears to be Michael Libert, Harvard ‘09.
