But when I was there, it was like the pinnacle of college life. You were there at the right time. Since we were broke college students, my roommate and I decided that we couldn't justify spending money on Halloween costumes. We had to DIY it, but we still obviously wanted to look perfect for this night. At this time, we were also deep in a hippie phase.

We were vegans and we loved patchouli and environmentalism and not showering to save water, all of that.

Oh, so into jam bands. Naturally, we decided to kind of go along with that, that we were going to go as Mother Nature to this costume party for our DIY costumes. We thought it was sexy and organic and effortless. So our plan was to just buy a huge piece of brown fabric and hot glue real leaves straight from our front yard onto the fabric and then kind of wrap ourselves in it like a toga.

We thought it was cute and cheap and sustainable. The day of the party, we went into our lawn, we just scooped up huge armfuls of these kind of damp leaves that had been outside for a while. We sat cross-legged on the hardwood floor of our living room, just surrounded by piles of leaves. And with a hot glue gun, we ended up gluing onto the fabric one by one these leaves.

And it took basically the whole day. The hot glue gun strings are like floating all around us. We're burning our fingers. But it was Halloween and it was important. Finally, we finished right before the party was about to start. So we reached down to pick up the fabric to kind of wrap ourselves in it.

And we realized that the hot glue had bonded the fabric and all of the leaves directly to this original, beautiful, pristine 1900s hardwood floor.
