I Love A Good Story

Warning: This is not a good story.



I had a show last Sunday for a comedy story telling theatre event called I Love A Good Story. Since this was a theatre thing (and because I'm dapper) I wanted to look good for this event. I'm on the side of the stage the entire time, playing songs in between stories and acted out commercials (it's for a podcast) ala a pre-television radio program. This obviously calls for a 3-piece Untouchables suit. So on Sunday "morning" I headed to my local Goodwill in search of such an outfit.

As luck would have it I hit the proverbial jackpot within minutes of entering the store. The very first suit that I picked out was a 3-piece deep navy blue pin-striped suit that fit me to perfection. it was my lucky day...or so I thought.

After purchasing my new stellar find, I got no more than 3 steps out of the Goodwill when I realized that I had left behind my zip-up hoodie that I removed to try on the best and jacket. I didn't think this would be much of a problem, but it turns out that clothes left lying around at thrift stores don't last long. I went back in, looked around, talked to the cashier, inspected every customer...no dice. In the 3 minutes that could have passed between me taking off the sweatshirt and coming back into the store someone had managed to purchase it from another cashier and leave the premises before I even noticed it was missing. So even though I got an awesome suit for $19.99, I lost a $40 hoodie in the process. Rat bastards.
