Lilac Festival

We followed a river of people flowing amidst hundreds of vendors and street preformers for hours and even when we turned around to head back there was no end of it in sight. A native ring dancer twirls on the grass to a classical violin, a grinning magician extracts 4 oranges and a melon out of a top hat, gasps from the crowd pressing in upon him. Dan the One Man Band plays YMCA at the request of a 7 year old on his guitar... and drum... and harmonica... and tambourine? A generously filled bucket of popcorn we use to stuff our faces while we watch a goat man play unsettling music as his 7 foot tree lady dances to the happy sound of change clinking into a donation pot.

























People are strange and interesting. I want to understand them all.
