Happy Towel Day!!! May 25th

Rest in peace Mr. Adams, your books have kept us looking to skies in the hope that one day we might see something other than stars… before the planet is destroyed in order to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

Towel Day is celebrated every year on 25 May as a tribute by fans of the late author Douglas Adams. On this day, fans carry a towel with them to demonstrate their appreciation for the books and the author, as referred to in Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The commemoration was first held in 2001, two weeks after Adams’ death on 11 May 2001.

So carry a towel today, when you go to work, when you clean the house, when you visit the bank, as you travel in a plane… and hopefully you’ll see someone else on the street carrying a towel and share a happy salute and an inside joke :)

T-2 days for Towel day! Do you know where your towel is!?

Guns, explosions, planes, assassinations and tons of action stars from the 80s & 90s, what could be better than that?
