It's Madness I say, Madness!

YES!  (Picture of us at the bottom)
We finally won. After years of not being recognized, we won. Now if you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a quick summary.
At Geneva College, we have this thing called Midnight Madness. It is basically a pep rally for winter sports and there's a kick. The whole student body dresses up in their favorite costumes and there are chances to win prizes.

My sophomore year, a group of people and myself dressed up as Super Mario World. Listen close, not just Mario and Luigi, but Super Mario World. The costumes included:
Mario, Luigi, a warp pipe WITH A PIRANHA PLANT, an item box, a star, a mushroom, and we even had gold coins!
That year we didn't even get called down to the floor to be voted on. Other wonderful things, like "Trash" made it down. Give me a break. That evening we left with a very sour attitude. We were determined to make things change.
Last year, a few people dressed up as some people from Dodgeball. I wasn't involved this time around, but at least they won a drawing. Free movie tickets and some cash toward Chi-Burger Chi-Burger.

Now, This year. We won it. We dressed up as the X-MEN. Our costumes included:
Professor X (in a wheel chair), Magneto, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Emma Frost, Rogue, and Mystique. Talk about a freakin awesome group of costumes.
We got called down to the floor, thank goodness, and we ended up face to face with a group of people dressed up as Toy Story. Now their costumes were okay, but ours were so synched, and a ton of stuff was hand made. It looked to me like Toy Story bought most of their stuff, but I dunno. I'm not gonna judge/say for sure.

Anyways, the crowds were roaring, and we pulled out a victory. FINALLY. I felt like things were made right from the wrong we were given when we were Super Mario World...haha. It made sound cheezy but it felt good.

A lot of work went in to our costumes. People shaved, dyed their hair for real, made stuff that took two hours, and sprayed their whole bodies with paint. Talk about dedication. I'm glad that in the end, the X-MEN stood victorious.
