Midtown's got the blues

It was a bluesapalooza of Blue Shirts in the park on my lunch hour today.



See this group having a lunch meeting? In case you can't tell (I know...you can't. Real digicam coming soon, I promise), 4 out of the 6 men present were wearing blue shirts. I think blue button-downs have crossed over from "less traditional yet acceptable alternative to wearing white shirts to corporate jobs" to "the shirt that 2/3 of dudes in Midtown wear 5 days a week."

Here's what they were probably thinking.

Blue Shirt # 1: "I think we're all on the same page here."
BS # 2: "I really want to see that new explosion movie starring Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, and Leo DiCaprio."
BS # 3: "We need to give BS # 1 the heads up, he is clueless."
BS # 4: "This powder blue is a complete 360 from the cornflower blue these other jokers are wearing."
Non-Blue Shirt # 1: "I wonder if my band could still make it."
Non-Blue Shirt # 2: "I need to get some blue shirts."
Woman: "Fuck this bullshit."

I'm glad there was nothing to make fun of about me, as I sat on the ground eating my vegan burrito in a children's-size Hang Ten shirt from the '70s.
