Madison at its finest…
Whilst postering for various WUT shows, one generally goes about their business - stopping in at the usual places, stealing extra push pins from unsuspecting other postings and generally not paying much attention to the rest of the world. Last Saturday, however, was an entirely different story. Shelly and I found ourselves postering for Edgar Meyer and Mike Marshall amidst the most random assortment of Madisonians I’ve ever encountered…
a) Geek Kon. A massive self-proclaimed nerd infestation in the humanities building. More people in capes and cat ears than I’ve ever encountered. Allegedly the inventor of Dungeons and Dragons was in attendance.
b) Legalize Marijuana Festival. Within a stones throw of the nerd convention, the Legalize Marijuana crowd had gathered in Library mall to spend the afternoon listening to music and speakers, revelling, and passing out information to those interested. Smelled rather reminiscent of Amsterdam.
c) Not one, but TWO(!) wedding processionals, darting through the already assembled groups. The first of the two processionals, led by a bagpiper, featured the wedding party skipping along to the tunes of the scottish highlands.
My bet is on the bagpiping crowd as the most likely to come to the concert…
