Don't Panic! It's almost Towel Day
Monday May 25th is Towel Day!

Don't know what Towel Day is?

In 2001 the popular humorous sci-fi writer Douglas Adams suffered a permanent existence failure.
His fans created a yearly celebration to pay tribute to him and let the world know about his fantastic books.
They celebrate by carrying a towel every May 25th.

Who's going to participate?

The good: on May 25th, we going to paaaaarty!

The bad: on May 26th, we're going to have a very bad hangover

The ugly: I'm going to respect tradition and post a picture online of me and my towel. Remember: what has been seen cannot be unseen!

On Towel Day I always try to take a pictures of me and my towel, and put it online.
There are over 600 examples on Flickr. (tag: towelday)

I'm already practicing my "serious look".

Towel Day, serious business!
