Taking a Leap Taking a Leap

Come spend a magical summer evening with G and G

Brave enough to go on a blind date? Take a break from reality and read about a sunset adventure where two students took a chance on a blind date Sept 21st, 2021 in downtown Paso. This date was a momentous occasion for two Bearcats and one that continues the 20 year tradition of Crimson’s Blind Date.

Each frantically guessed and constantly wondered who the other would be.

It’s time that we reveal the duo… His hair makes him irresistible to the ladies and being on the varsity football team helps too. She is an amazing athlete with a bubbly personality that entrances anyone she meets. Ladies and gentlemen, our 2021 blind daters were senior Gustabo Lara and sophomore Georgina Abreu

It was the 21st night of September,what we would call the perfect night for our long awaited blind date. As the sun fell, a light breeze glided through iconic downtown Paso Robles, where the couple first laid eyes on each other around 6:30 p.m. The couple let out a laugh of relief followed by a hug in the gazebo.

Lara and Abreu strolled side by side on their way to the local thrift shop, Goodwill where, following our instructions, they picked out an outfit for each other to wear. Walking in with ten minutes until closing, they could tell the employees wanted them to leave. While trying to suppress their giggles and laughter, they explored the colorful aisles of second hand clothing. It proved difficult to find something that the other would like but just as the cranky worker exclaimed at them to “get moving” they each found a piece for the other and frantically ran to the register.

After the frantic ten minutes they spent in Goodwill, the two of them tried on their new looks. “One, two, three” they opened the fitting room doors in unison to surprise each other. Gustabo had picked out a velvet emerald green sweater for her that would match her eyes and was also his favorite color; Georgina selected a vintage grey v-neck from the brand Abercrombie.
