Contest: The Tomato Costume’s Adventures At DC HQ

The Tactician accessorizes

The tomato costume is taking a trip to Washington, DC this weekend for the DC AIDS Walk — but before it leaves, it’s hanging out at the Donors Choose offices in Manhattan.   It felt a little shy when I dropped it off, but it seems to be making new friends.   Thanks for making it feel at home, DC team!

The costume is pretty excited to go to Atlantic City, too.   Can you help make that happen?

    Our Tomato costume is all grown up and traveling!

    Bet Red, both for Donors Choose *and* for a cure for AIDS!

    Man, I keep reading “the Tactitian” as “the Tahitian,” and it’s really confusing.

    I was lucky enough to don the tomato suit for a short time this weekend, and my husband Jack wore it during the walk. It was a smashing success! Joanna also took it for a spin on the metro with hilarious results (pics to come shortly). This was expecially fun for me, as I’ve been a fan since your TWOP days, so thanks! Team Supersnack kicked AIDS in the balls!
