What do you know -- another boring evening in Provo Utah!
Apparently the feeling was mutual across town, because out of the blue Marla (sister of bohemian angst boy, Jared) calls us up and wants to know if we'd like to dress up and parade around campus. "What do you have in mind?" I ask, and she recounts how she and her roommate came across a lovely tiara, sash, and some killer high heels that just screamed to be work together in some kind of prom queen fantasy outing -- with a nerdy edge. The edge was my idea: "Make sure you wear a took under your tiara." It was the middle of winter, so this actually made some sense.
But what should I wear? Preston suggested I wear the full-on nerd outfit, including clam digger shorts, a wide retro tie, and mismatched socks -- with a took, of course. And a fine took it was - red with a pattern of Alaskan huskies. Andrew supplied the glasses, and I was ready. Marla showed up, and her outfit was magical. A picture was necessary.
In the background is the giant pen drawing that Preston and I created our first week in The Hole.
After a short how-you-do and other typical chit chat, we got down to business and drove around campus looking for a hot spot in which to dance. We found it at the stop sign in the parking lot near Smith Field House. There we quickly exited our vehicle, and with radio blaring, we danced in the headlights.
Oh, the splendor of it all.
