Then I got to college and Halloween took on a whole new meaning. I am not one to dress up in any tight-fitting barely-there costume, so I resorted to a farmer one year (insert Iowa joke here) and other years just avoided going out all together. Finding something cool was tricky. My friend Jori was awesome at costumes, she still is (last year she, her husband, and their 1 \u00bd year old went as the Three Amigos\u2026genius). But I digress.<\/p>\n<p>So this year, when Argenis Fernandez asked if I would participate in his second fundraiser for <a href=\"https:\/\/events.doctorswithoutborders.org\/index.cfm?fuseaction=cms.home\">Doctors Without Borders<\/a> and wear a costume if he raised at least $5000, I of course said yes\u2026knowing full well I would have to find a costume.<\/p>\n<p>Enter my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/grrl_geek\">Jes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_707\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-707\" style=\"width: 349px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sqlskills.com\/blogs\/erin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tweet.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sqlskills.com\/blogs\/erin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tweet.jpg\" alt=\"Yes Jes, yes it is...\" width=\"349\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sqlskills.com\/blogs\/erin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tweet.jpg 349w, https:\/\/www.sqlskills.com\/blogs\/erin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tweet-300x110.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-707\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yes Jes, yes it is&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I now have a kick @$$ costume if I do say so myself, and you\u2019ll see it at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pass.org\/summit\/2015\/About.aspx\">PASS Summit<\/a> (I&#8217;m <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pass.org\/summit\/2015\/Sessions\/Details.aspx\">speaking<\/a> on Wednesday at 4:45 PM, if you&#8217;re interested!).
