Arrr Matey - Saint John Dragon Boat Festival

This weekend, I attended the Saint John Dragon Boat Festival with a team from my work, T4G Limited.  Our team’s name was T-oar-G.

As the drummer on the team, I figured that I would dress up a bit, since I heard that drummers on other teams were going to dress up as well.  A quick trip to Value Village and I was ready to go!

Well, it turns out the Telegraph-Journal liked my costume as they stopped me for an interview in the afternoon.

A brief story appeared in today’s newspaper:

Shawn Peterson of T4G’s T-oar-G team took the theme a little further by dressing as a pirate for the event. As the team’s drummer, tradition dictates that attire should stand out just a little. Given that it’s a water-related event, Peterson figured a pirate was an apt theme… especially since his IT firm is concerned about software piracy.
