Krispy Kreme

Towards the end of her blog, Briggs gave mention to a Krispy Kreme adventure that took place during the early hours of Monday morning. This was not fiction, but truth that could not have been more true. When a bunch of us finished watching the movie, "Donnie Darko", at a little after midnight, Emily and Chris both said that they had to move their cars from the Columbia parking lot to the parking garage, or else they would get a ticket. They wanted some people to go with them because no one wants to have to take that walk back at midnight. Sally quickly volunteered to tag along, and I figured, because I had left my Nalgene, Big Blue, in Emily's car, that I would go along too. The four of us went out to the parking lot and I went with Emily and Sally went with Chris. After we drove over to the garage, the four of us met up outside and began our walk back to the dorm. For the majority of the walk, we kept talking about how we really could go for some Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The only thing was, that the Krispy Kreme in Columbia closes at midnight on Sundays. So we were out of luck. Or were we? The idea hit the group as we were just about to walk in front of the business building(which is roughly two hundred yards from our dorm). "Let's go to the Krispy Kreme in Spartanburg!" Emily had told us before about how there is a twenty-four hour Krispy Kreme in her town and that it was the best one there is. Sally was all for the idea, which only got Emily more excited. Chris and I were a little more apprehensive. I had to get up in eight hours and Chris had to get up not long after. Sally told how she had to get up even earlier. It took a little time, but I eventually bought in and figured if nothing else, it would make for a good story. Chris caved as well and the four of us made our way back to the garage at just about one o'clock. We got in the car and drove a smooth hour or so to to the great city of Spartanburg. It was a little tough to see everything in the dark, but it was calm and very quaint. And even though it was dark out, there was no hiding the giant illuminated Krispy Kreme sign. We went inside the store, that surprisingly had a customer, and ordered our doughnuts. We sat in the store for about twenty minutes, looked around a little bit, talked to one of the workers, took some hats for the road, and went back into the car. We left Spartanburg and got back to Columbia Hall at about four thirty in the morning. We may not have gotten a lot of sleep that night, but we did get a little bit closer.
