How many people does it take to be a railroad for Halloween?

The answer is 26 people and one poster. Today was the University College Halloween party, with prizes being given out for the best costumes in general, the best group, etc. Until two days ago, our hall was like: "Let's just go as our individual costumes, no big deal." Then we heard that a kid on our floor was going as the Red Line of the metro in D.C., and things just took off from there. Someone came up with the amazing idea to have everyone be a specific station on the Red LIne, wear a red shirt and jeans, and then all go together in line into the party. Everyone would wear a white dot on their chests and have the name of their station on their back and the right shoulder. We went hard to work, figuring out inside jokes to some of the stations assigned to people. For example, Chinatown was worn by a Asian girl. Takoma was worn by a girl from Washington State, because Takoma is a city in Washington State. I myself was Friendship Heights, because, according to others, I'm a very vertically inclined friendly person. :-)
As we got ready this morning, there was a large amount of shuffling, desperate searching for red shirts for everyone, and taping stations to shirts. Our professor, Professor Knight, and the Program Assistant for our group were also included. We even had a poster of Kim Kardashian, complete with a red paper shirt, because we were short one person. Finally, after having taken twenty minutes to get everyone together, we were ready to go. But something was missing. Then Dan, the ROTC kid (who was incidentally Fort Totten) stepped forward and suggested we do a cadence as we march in. He would yell everything out as we marched in, and everyone else would repeat. Of course we had to step in time. The entrance was rather dramatic, to say the least.
We got into the final three, but alas, did not win, AGAIN!!!! The Western Legal Tradition UC group dressed up as the Roman Republic, and acted out the death of Ceasar, in order to uphold the Western Legal Tradition. However, we were by far the most original group, and we looked amazing. Pictures are up and coming!
