I got invited to go to this swanky fund raising dinner tonight.  It is a “black tie optional” event.  Tickets are $150 a plate; and I’m lucky that I have a wealthy friend that bought an entire table and is just inviting us poor, young, college students to sit with her.

Last year I went to this event too.  I was invited by a labor union to sit at their table.

It’s a good time.  The only problem is the “black tie” nonsense.  I don’t own a suit.  I don’t even have a black tie.  I’m going to wear some slacks (which are too big for me.  I haven’t been able to buy new dress clothes since I lost the weight), and a dress shirt and tie, and I’m going to wear a Bannana Republic sweater over it.

I know that I’m going to feel a little out of place at first, but after people start boozing up that should subside.
