In high school we had a hugely anticipated day called Character Day, where you can dress up as anyone you like, fictional, non-fictional, whatevs. We would plan for it for weeks.
I just came across this photo of (to my mind) two of the coolest guys in our school who also happened to be best friends. Their names are Matt and Trav – Matt was this really talented dude who already seemed like a grown man – even though he is, what, 17 years old here?, who was already making feature-length films at this point – he was kind of a phenom – and here, you can see that Raiders mania has swept the nation … Trav eventually became my first real boyfriend … he introduced me to the Marx Brothers, to Mae West, to early Cary Grant … but here … well, obviously, he is not up for teenage romance.
Him being Gandhi and all.
Their whole group was COOL!!!
