In my virgin BroBomb article, I outlined several predictions for the coming ski season. First among them was that “poor is the new cool.” This might be the beginning of a mid-season retrospective analyzing how each of my prophecies was panning out. I’m going to begin with a quick recap of the Traveling Circus’ webisodes to see how they are managing from a quality of life standpoint.
The TC crew got outfitted with brand new bright Orage gear for the season, which has done much to mask their ghetto standards. Andy’s new clean blue and red get-up is a far cry from last seasons’s rolled up baby blues that looked like they had seen more use than the inside of his sleeping bag and the soles of his easy walker sneakers put together. However, as evidenced in Episode 4, Andy, Will and the gang are still sleeping on floors, in cars, and in ski patrol bomb shelters, while eating pb & j’s for breakfast, lunch & dinner. With all this success and fame, wouldn’t they have upgraded their quality of life? Then it came to me, a moment of business clarity: they could get away with being much poorer.
