Alma de Color

We didn't have class on Good Friday, although the university has changed the name to "University Day" to be PC. So I worked instead. I showed up at the Fieldhouse around noonish, helped set up for the Pow Wow. Genevieve set me in charge of concessions this year, which was a new experience. I've never really been in charge of something like that before. We set up two lines instead of one this year, and it made all the difference.

But I decided I like decorating with a bunch of guys. :) Just my style. We used streamers to line the walls, and tacked it to the walls with a staple gun in various places. We mixed colors such as orange and yellow, green and purple, and hung Christmas lights above the dance floor. We put out yellow and blue chairs, (probably from the 60's or something), around the dance floor, and blew up over a 100 balloons to grace the dance floor. We also sprinkled confetti and tinsel all over the floor. We had one strip of colored cellophane over the tables, and 3 TV...
