October 14, 1994. I'm a student at Brown University.
It's my birthday. My guard is up, because I know
several people want to get revenge on me for pranks I've played.
Two friends from the Brown Artificial Intelligence lab,
Kostadis Roussos and Tim Brennan, and my then girlfriend Christine Huo want
to take me to a nice restaurant for dinner.
Christine says, "It's a nice restaurant. Make sure to dress up!"
Later in the day, Kostadis urges me, "Make sure to dress up!"
Hmm. Seems to be a lot of emphasis on dress, I think. In my paranoid
state, this gets me wondering. What if they take me to a restaurant,
but it's not a nice one, but I'm all dressed up? I get it!
At least, I think I get it. So I go out and rent a tuxedo so I'm
appropriately dressed up. But when Kostadis, Tim, and Christine
arrive — they're dressed up too. Whoops. We go driving.
We drive, and drive, and drive. We're talking about what a great
restaurant it is. I'm somewhat embarassed to have rented the tux.
I was really looking forward to something a little unusual. Bummer.
Tim says "I gotta stop at the cash machine", and we pull up to an ATM.
Suddenly, everyone gets out of the car, and pulls off their fancy
clothing to reveal shorts & t-shirts.
It's Taco Bell! That's the fancy restaurant.
