Brookings Register article has some of the details:
And now, questions for the board:
What's your most memorable Hobo Day?
What's your most infamous Hobo Day Moment (if not the answer to #1)? (Does not have to, but probably does, involve alcohol).
For me, both involve watching the Hobo Day parade and drinking "home-made Kahlua" (i.e. really thick sweet coffee with probably a bit too much Everclear in it). This made going to the game basically impossible. So, after I somehow got home that afternoon (I walked, I'm pretty sure), I lay on my bed very drunk and very, very, very wide awake, listening to the State-Augie game on the radio. I think we won, but am not sure.
Drink in moderation, kids, from one who knows . . . :-[
While Hobo Week culminates with the Saturday afternoon football game, activities begin on Monday, Oct. 23.
The Jackrabbit Rally begins at the Intramural Building at 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 23, with a hobo meal. At 7 p.m., the attention shifts to a student dress-up contest, the One Month Club check-ins and skits. Among the entries for the beard-growing contest is the entire SDSU wrestling team.
"I’m super excited about that," French said. In addition to judging bearded wrestlers, there are contests for the best pigtails and hairiest legs.
French, a broadcast journalism major with a specialization in advertising, has been using her marketing skills to help promote One Month Club participation. She began visits to residential hall councils and Greek councils earlier in the year, and as a result of that effort, she says, participation in Hobo Week activities should be higher than in the past.
"A lot of people are showing enthusiasm," French said.
Another highlight of Hobo Week is the Homelycoming Pageant, which is Wednesday, Oct. 25. This is the third year for the event in which guys dress up in drag.
"It packs the PAC (Performing Arts Center) and always is a lot of fun," French said.
