It was my junior year in college. A girl and I had exchanged glances here and there on campus the previous year and discovered we were both in the same sociology class that fall. One day after class she seemed to be lingering out front, and I took the opportunity to break the ice and introduce myself. She invited me to her friend's party that weekend and emphasized that "everyone there gets really dressed up". I would remember the details and directive differently and we would disagree for weeks and months after the events of that evening. I will concede the party was not on Halloween, but was a couple days before. And perhaps the word costume was never said, specifically. When I showed up at the party, the person who opened the door was decked out in a fabulous 1940s dress and donning a derby hat and so I didn't immediately realize that things were amiss. Until the door opened further and I noted nearly everyone inside was sporting vintage cocktail party attire. It was not a costume party, and my entrance was met with some confusion, whispers and snickers. A couple cheery laughs. Most there just wanted to know who invited the bashful pirate. 


Due to the forecast of several days of rain ahead, the March 12 CALÇOTADA will be postponed. So don't show up this Sunday in a barretina (though you will still be most welcome in our shop:) The NEW DATE IS NOW SUNDAY APRIL 2nd (same time and details). All tickets will be honored for the new date and full refunds given to anyone who can't make the new April 2nd Calçotada!
