Happy Towel Day! and Towel day take one

The Date: A thursday in approximately November of 1983
The Event: Sprit Week at 32nd Street USC magnet school, Freak out day.

Now give me a break it was the 1980s and we were a preforming and visual arts school.

I post this picture because it is one of the few pictures I have of the tradition of towels on Thursday.

Long before there was an "offical" Towel Day and while the illustrious Douglas Adams still lived and walked amoung us. Before the Movie was mad (But after the radio show and the BBC series)

One of my friend introduced me to the Hitchhikers Guide books and I devoured them several of us did. One of our more fannish type displays was that we began to wear towels on Thursdays to prepare for the Vogon's arrival.

Yes that is me with the bow tie adorned towel. If I had a color copy It would hurt you from my memory of the day. I tried my best to be a hoopy frood who knew where her towel was.

Many other geeky things came out of this picture and another form the year book taken on the same day. But that is for another day and another post.
