Let's take your original sentence and transpose the definitions and see how it works out, shall we?

This year a friend and I are dawning our Team Rocket uniforms and heading down to seattle on a bus with no place to stay once we get down there. It will be awesome.

donning

This year a friend and I are "putting on the clothing of" our Team Rocket uniforms and heading down to seattle on a bus with no place to stay once we get down there. It will be awesome.

dawning

This year a friend and I are "starting or beginning" our Team Rocket uniforms and heading down to seattle on a bus with no place to stay once we get down there. It will be awesome.

If you really meant that you are going to start your uniform, and then go to Seattle with costumes that were only partially completed, then the second sentence was correct. I doubt that it what you intended to say, however.

Most people admit when they make a homonym error, but you continued to fight it. I am an English major, you will never win a semantics, spelling or grammar argument with me.

The reference in that Wikipedia article says nowhere that dawn only means the first appearance of sun in a day. Only the Wikipedia article says that, so I am therefore forced to believe that the article is nothing but misleading, poorly worded dribble and you, sir, are a pusher of such inaccuracies.

*donning* your uniforms. Dawn is when the sun comes up.

Yes, it is also when you start something. As in starting to be homeless in seattle with a team rocket uniform. What part of this don't you understand?

The part where you are wrong? The part where you lose respect for Teh Eve?

I learned never to argue AGAINST Teh Eve, you know?

Besides, THIS says you are wrong...
