If it’s September, then it must be time for FAILURE

September 1st, 2009

Failure Theme

 

September usually means a few things Stateside. In the north, the leaves start to change colors and the temperature drops from a temperate upper 70’s, to a hellishly cold 50 degrees. Theme parks close until Spring, and the movie industry begins it’s autumn snooze until it reawakens in time to cash in on the holidays. It’s also the time when most schools reopen, and students let out a collective groan while parents let out a collective sigh.

 

And while many of us here at EGP don’t fit into either category, we do like to pay tribute to a little something that everyone worries about with this month’s theme.

 

So how about it? Is anyone else ready to join us in FAILURE this month?
