Alright.
I entered the SF0 world about two years ago, took a risk and some kinda naked pictures of myself, figured I couldn't much top that, and retired.
Then a few weeks ago it occurred to me that I felt old.
This has happened to me before-- around the time I turned 20, I noticed two things: (1) I kept going to movies by myself and being the only person under 50 in the audience, and (2) I went to bed at 11:00 every night, including Friday and Saturday nights. And one of those Friday nights while I was lying in bed is when this all came together for me, and I decided I needed to not feel old anymore, so I got up and got dressed and wandered out into my college campus, and as I walked by Titsworth Lecture Hall, I heard someone yelling, "Come to Cabaret!" So I did.
It turned out to be a bunch of thrown together performance pieces, with a mostly drunk audience and a lot of encouragement for them to be rowdy. From my memory, the pinnacle was when we were shown a slide show of pictures of puppies, and told to scream the most terrible obscenities we could think of at them-- and the room erupted in our puppy cursing. At the end, they said that anyone who wanted to be in the show next week should show up at such and such time and place on Monday night. And so I did, and everything about my life changed.
Flash forward: I am nearing 25. And I'm feeling old. I'm not a college student anymore, and I'm now on a campus where wandering out in the middle of the night doesn't always lead to adventures, so I'm back here at SF0 to make my own adventures.

I feel like I need to put in an IRB application before I complete this task...
Ha! We used to do this all the time when I was young-- a good friend of my parents was a mushroom expert.
Just look for the ones with pink gills-- they're edible meadow mushrooms!
Hm, of course, I think the pool of people who'd bid on it is pretty small...
No, it's staying on my wall. I stuck a picture my boyfriend took on the side of it, so I think it's now a permanent part of our art collection.
Oh my god, chech this out!

I feel almost morally opposed to this task...
