as of this morning, there were an additional +10 more tents weaving around the Marriott packed in behind the other 20 that had already hunkered down since monday.
now they are a veritable community - complete with mini grills, lawn chairs, toilet paper rolls sitting out by their tents (...communal?...and where are they using it, exactly??), and an outdoor coal-powered heater to huddle around.
they are tied by their fan-dom, which is a bond that runs deeper than blood. unfortunately, it also unites them.
...you know in those movies/musicals about enemy gangs where there's always that scene where a member of one gang is forced to pass through the hostile territory of the other? and there's that moment when the members of the home-court gang start appearing from behind fire escapes, alleyways, dumpsters, etc? and they're all leering at/following the "other" guy with that slow, deliberate "we're watching you...and about to kill you" look?!...
...well, let's just say i was the lone Jet among the Sharks this morning as i wove my way through the maze of tents to get to work....*shudder!*
so much for that loving/accepting image BYU aims for!

Emily, dear, the solution to this is simple! All you have to do is wear your favorite BYU hoodie and dance your way through the horde while singing a boisterous and riveting version of the Fight Song. The crowd will join you, an improvised dance number will occur, and you can sneak away unnoticed- or maybe even cheered- while they all raise their voices high in the rah, rah, rahrahrahs.
Also- what are they camping out for? I am lost!
manda....

although the basketball game against Utah is today, so the whole fiasco will be over by the time i have to get to work again on monday
