This is late to write about, but I was just going through pictures from Shandon's Monster Bowl (October 28), where I dressed up as a sketchy repair man in a wig, some Dickies coveralls, and some dirt I rubbed all over my face and arms in the parking lot (actually brake dust off my tires--not the healthiest choice).
The event was a success, and afterwards I went out to Yesterday's with Anna, Meagan, Josh, and Neal. Our waitress didn't recognize that we were dressed up, I'm pretty sure, which meant we looked like a mighty fine mess. Anna was Beth Moore, so she had her hair sprayed up HUGE; Meagan was an iPod or something, so she had on all black and a white apple sticker on her shirt, which the waitress commented that she really liked...
Later on in the night/early morning Meagan and I headed to Wal-mart to buy hot chocolate for Tracy D. and Jess who were camping out in line for Josh and my Clemson tickets.
GARNER'S FERRY WAL-MART:
Meagan changed into PJ's but I was still wearing my coveralls and I still have some of the dirt smudged on my face. While we were looking for hot chocolate, I decided to buy some Tea like my mom had kept at our house, a French Vanilla Lipton tea (which is great by the way).
It was probably 2 in the morning at this point, and they're in the middle of restocking all the food in the store. I had told Meagan what I was looking for and neither of us could find it. The guy working on our aisle came over and tried to find it, and called over the aisle to 2 other people to find out if they had it. I wasn't even asking for it really, and we went away after he said they didn't have it.
After the food section, we'd gone to camping and picked up a cooler jug to put the hot chocolate in, and we were picking out candles all the way across the store, when the guy working in the tea aisle came down the aisle and found us with the tea we'd been looking for. We're pretty sure they saw us and thought that we were a young married couple and that I had some kind of shop job and just got home super late, and took my wife to the store to get some stuff.
It made me feel very out of place, but also strangely like I stuck out less (than loud college students) at late night Wal-Mart...
