The Costume Change
It started before we even arrived. Our friend Joel was turning thirty, and in the weeks leading up to his party a group chat had been set up for logistics — venue details, what to bring, the usual low-traffic thread that dies down once the event information is locked in.

Eventually my girlfriend and I both muted it indefinitely, which meant we nearly missed a time change to the event.
