Get on your coffeee, junk food and beer stained Apple, MS or UNIX T-shirt,
a pair of unwashed jeans - which have junk food wrappers  discretely
stashed in the pockets, an old leather jacket, a pair of really tattered
but trendy sandshoes (Nike, Adidas ... anything but Reebok), if you can
find it - an old hat ... and you'll fit right in.   ;-)
