DON'T TELL STEVE,
but Friday, February 23 is "Steve Day"! You might ask yourself, "What is 'Steve Day'?" And I would reply, "'Steve Day' is February 23 (duh). The day that the lab will SURPRISE Stephen Matthew Gross with a day honoring him. A day when we will dress like Steve, eat hummus and pita chips; a day where even Susan and I will drink a steaming cup of dark black coffee to better understand the ways of Steve."* In reality, Steve Day has evolved into an embarrassing debacle in which Steve Day was actually another lab member's birthday. So we now hope to repeat Steve Day as many times as possible to ease the pain the organizers felt upon discovering that on the day we celebrated Steve, we did not even remember a birthday card for Kate. Steve Day is also, sadly, no longer a surprise. Bellow are some ideas to Steve-i-fy your day. - Baggy cargo pants in a neutral color paired with an Oakland A's or Cal short-sleeve shirt worn over a long-sleeve shirt is the Steve look. Complete with baseball cap. The outfit can be modified for post-wedding Steve, as his wife now makes him wear jeans. - Eat humus, hummus, chummus, taboulea, and more hummus - Drink coffee - Hate Cheeseboard, Qiagen, Crate & Barrel, and those that look as if they have "fallen off the turnip truck"** Steve day is brought to you lovingly by Susan Parkinson. Happy Steve-ing, Emily Please remember: this could still be a surprise for Steve! *We probably won't drink coffee **If you are curious what one looks like if they have, "fallen off the turnip truck" please direct your inquiries to Steve on Steve Day. Blue italics are the 2007 updates to the original Steve Day memo. |
