Mardi Gras Condoms

I wasn't really sure what kind of conclusions to make based on Saturday's experience. People refusing condoms makes sense to me. If he or she is not currently sexually active, but has a few condoms ready for a "just-in-case" situation, then there would be little need to take more condoms. I understand that those we gave away did not expire for over a year, but who wants to fill half a drawer with condoms? To do so might seem overconfident. Regardless, I don't think the event as a whole was as successful as we were hoping. I know I was only there for 30 minutes, but from what I saw and gleaned from people who were there longer the event was never busy. However, if we made at least one person think to use a condom before he or she has sex, then we had a positive impact on our community. Sappy, but true.
