Pre-Halloween POCR Night
Tonight I went to a special, Halloween edition of POCR night (POCR stands for People Of Color Retention). It’s basically a time for all the colored folks in my program to eat soul food, vent about institutional oppression, damn the man, and tell racist jokes that only we get to laugh at. Our group was kinda sparse tonight because everybody has midterms. We couldn’t meet next week because that’s homecoming weekend and everybody has to work. Here is the pic, aren’t we cute? My costume is a shameless rip-off of Jason’s arts&crafts masterpiece from last year. Luckily, no one from my cohort was in the Castro last year on Halloween, so I’m in the clear on this cost ~*sneaky snicker*~
In other news, I’m going to see Ben Folds exactly one week from today. Yay me!
why is he only going on the east coast?!? why?!! but i have ordered the little EP thing with sample songs on it and that will just have to tide me over.
