I am going to a wedding tomorrow. This is the first time I am going to a wedding. Moreover, I will be a groomsman at the wedding. The presumptive groom decided that we would all wear tuxedos from The Black Tux. I went to Williamsburg for the fitting back on May 4, 2025, which ended up yielding photo articles on BLOB DYLAN and dry Christmas trees after the fact. My rental tuxedo arrived in a box a bit more than a week ago. Behold:

Photo of box for "The Black Tux" tuxedo. The box has a handle on top. The packing tape reads "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" and "TRY ON ASAP."

The tape on the box spoke to me. I appreciated the “LET ME OUT OF HERE!” It gave the box and its content some character. However, the “TRY ME ON ASAP.” felt a little bit too demanding. Less of a plea in the tuxedo’s own interest and more a demand on me. I would have gone with let me out of here and please try me on ASAP. But all and all, it is good packing tape. Less importat: The tuxedo fit.
