Streaking the Broadmoor
There's a "5-star, world class hotel" here in Colorado Springs. It lives up to every expectation of what a five star hotel should be - everybody is dressed up nice, their bars and clubs are very overpriced and very snooty, and it's absolutely gorgeous. I have found myself there once in a while, either for a conference or for hanging out with friends who enjoy that crowd. Last night was one of the instances of the latter.
Several of my friends are at the Broadmoor fire pit, hanging out, drinking martini's, and pretty much doing the whole Broadmoor thing. Also, they are in "costume". They invite me, and I say, "I am in a very random, very non-Broadmoor appropraite costume - do you think that's okay?" My friend responds, "yeah, you'll be fine. I'm dressed up as a bee."
So I walk into the broadmoor. Barefoot. Wearing a trenchcoat - only - and head out back to the fire pit. I did have on a tiny pair of running shorts, however nobody could see them. I was a streaker for halloween. It was quite a fun, random costume. Just before I get through the Broadmoor, I walk past a group of four people, and the older lady stops mid sentence, gasps, and says "Oh... My... God..." They all turn and look at me like I was a stray dog wandering through their prestigious hotel. I just laugh to myself.
Anyways, my friends were *not* in costume (except the bee), and nobody else there was in costume. I felt a little out of place. But it made for quite a good story and random event. Hope you enjoyed.
