I got a call in mid-January from The Crazy Man. It was a Sunday and
he tracked me down at the Container Store in Tyson's Corner. I was
actually in their restroom helping Samantha. With all the urgency of a
fire truck responding to a 5 alarm fire, he asked me to research a list
of all the Inaugural balls. He needed this list ASAP. The Crazy Man
gave me a list of 5 states in particular he wanted to know when and
where their balls were going to be held.
Once I made it
back home (without rushing either!), I easily found a list online and
printed it out. The Crazy Man called me soon after to check on what I
found. I reported specifics on the inaugural balls of particular
interest to him. He sounded a little disappointed none were being held
that night.
The one that captured his interest the
most was the Black Tie and Boots Ball (hosted by Texas) on Saturday,
Jan. 19th. Tickets were $300 a person, but The Crazy Man had no
interest in paying to attend. He was planning on crashing it. And he
had a date going with him to crash it too.
On Monday
morning, when I spoke to The Crazy Man. My first question to him was,
"So, did you get in?" His response? "The question isn't did I get in?
The question is, Did I have a good time?"
Oy!
