Some people wonder why we at FM think of ourselves as oh-so terribly important. Frankly, it's because we are. To prove this to you as indisputable fact, we offer you a backstage pass to the FM Weekend.

On Thursday, we asked our writers, "Hey, kids: who wants to jet off to Negril, Jamaica this weekend?" The invitation to this all-expense-paid-trip came last-minute from Peter Martin Associates, Inc. Of course, all of us Editors had already overbooked our engagement calendars, so we sent veteran writer Marshal Lewy in our stead.

Leaving the magazine behind, three FM staffers set course for Central Square to meet up with an exclusive pub-crawling crew. In attendace: Delphic Club President William Burke. They travelled to: Pheonix Landing, The Fields, The Plough and Stars, People's Republik, the Cellar, and People's Republik (again).

On Friday, another member of the FM set, Murad Hussain, was at Tufts University for an invitation-only affair. He described the event by saying that "basically we were surrounded by women and men who were uglier and not nearly as interesting as Harvard students."
