So I just found out that this weekend is National Alpaca Farm Day, which has gotten me all hot and bothered for a number of reasons.First of all, as everyone knows, I LOVE alpacas!... or at least I love the massive alpaca coat I have and how it not only got me through two Massachusetts winters, but also got me 50 cents the time I wore it on the T with fingerless gloves and an empty coffee cup and a lady thought I was homeless.
This is relevant as my plan re: National Alpaca Farm Day, in which you're supposed to travel to your local alpaca farm and get cozy with the inmates, involves the coat in a big way. Basically what I'm thinking is that if I cloak myself in the coat Tobias-on-Blind-Elaine-Benes-style and then approach a beast at my local it'll think I'm a mysterious new lady alpaca and wanna make friends and maybe even give me a snuggle or a ride. WISH ME LUCK!
As excited as I am, however, I do have a few general questions in regards to NAFD:
1) Why is that shit called National Alpaca Farm DAY when the poster and website say that that day is September 29th AND 30th? Lame! Clearly the problem is that most of us have too much alpaca love to cram into just one day, but that's not something we should be hiding! Call it National Alpaca Farm Weekend, NAFD organizers! Embrace that.
2) What is the deal with that neon purple alpaca towards the left of the poster in the background? Is he for real? If so, those are the boots I want definitely.
3) On the NAFD website under "read the details" (?) I noticed that a reason why you should engage in NAFD is that it will "give you an opportunity to learn alpacas and meet new people living this satisfying and rewarding lifestyle." ... Umm, bascuse me? "Learn alpacas"?? At first I thought they meant we could learn alpaca like alpaca language, which would be A.MAZ.ING, but now I'm thinking that this whole "day" is maybe being organized by some goddamn mongoloid OR (could it be?) by the ALPACAS themselves! Either way, something a bit weird is going on and this weekend I'm gonna find out what that something is.
All I know right now is that that 'paca on the left has the cutest lil face I have ever fucking seen.

oh. my. god. where is this?! the "national" in national alpaca farm day implies that every alpaca farm in the nation is about to open its gates to the public and if that is the case i want to get on that STAT.
also, is this the first annual national alpaca farm day? or is this a regularly scheduled festivity? if so, this is my new favorite holiday. i guess whether or not it's new shouldn't really inform that decision, but i'm not too comfortable staking my favorite holiday on something that could just fall apart at any minute.
molly, if you go, get me something adorable AND/OR exceedingly comfortable (or delicious).
also, any fieldstonites paying attention: why do i have a memory of visiting an alpaca farm? barbara borozon is definitely in this memory so it must have been at fieldston...was this some wack ALP trip that chuckrow put together or is this an even wack-er dream i had where i visited an alpaca farm with barbara borozon...
AHAHAH yo. im gonna go ahead and say that i do NOT think you were ever at an alpaca farm with barbara borozon. BUT THAT WOULD BE A GREAT TRIP
I'm pretty sure you went to summer camp with Bzarbra Bzorozon. I also in compleatly mistyping while a little drunk makes her name look really fucking cool.
hahahah yes you're right, i did go to summer camp with barbara bzozozozron. but i'm also pretty sure that i went to an alpaca or a llama or some sort of goat farm while at fieldston. i am 90% positive that was a reality...
there be alpacas where i live and they spit like demons.
watch that coat, girl, no ruining the labor of a perfectly dead alpaca by messing around with a live one.
