Tales of Open House
I like to experience my idiocy in pairs, so yesterday, I made sure to do not only 1 but 2 potentially humiliating activities.
First, was the WOW float for the Open House Parade. I decided long ago that someone should dress up like the WOW logo (which is just this splat thing that says WOW in the middle). So since this was my brainchild, I took on the endeavor, and let me tell you it did look rather smashing. So basically, it was just a sandwich board set up which covered my torso but my arms and legs stuck out, so at the suggestion of others on TEAM I wore spandex, just spandex, underneath. I talk about it like I was completely embarrassed or something, or that I was coerced into doing it, but the truth of the matter is I volunteered to do it and silly as it was, I had such a great time. I got to ride on a float and wave at people, I'm totally famous.
Second, after the spandex shenanigins, I was over at the main stage watching some friends perform and my friend Amanda, the president of Cal Poly's first and only eating club, came on stage to host a pie eating contest. I was sitting with a whole crew of kids from Team and slowly we all started to volunteer for it. It was awesome. So I'm thinking like whipped cream pies and lots of them, but instead there were pies from Marie Calendars like pumpkin, chocolate cream, banana, cherry...all kinds of crazy pies. I opted for the chocolate. So the contest begins and before long I am seriously drowning in pie...it's all in my mouth, my nose is filled with it and i can't see that well either. All I could do was laugh...and eat pie. I could see Justin G. sitting there in the crowd just looking at me so weird and it made me laugh even harder, because I didn't know anyone was there that I knew! I didn't win, but I think I was a fierce competitor. It was a huge thing for me, because this really did fulfill a lifelong dream to be in an eating contest. FKC for life, y'all!
