Button Town

It's truely amazing to be here to experiance this all... but there are a few things I have found to be quite interesting. The first, is that everyone and their mom has to have a button... they all have them and they're everywhere. Why? They look terrible, and they scream "I'm a tourist". It's kind of insane, but meh. Oh, and I saw a chick covered in buttons, taking pictures with people... I mean come on... why?

I went to the free concert yesturday. I'm not sure if it exactly counts as 'going', considering I was probably about a mile away, but it was cool to be there. There had to be atleast a million people there... I didn't even know that many people existed in the world. It was insane to see that many people. It was cool though, I never thought I'd see anyone I knew there, and I ended up running into a girl that I knew from work and her fresh out of the box Indian roommate. We had a lot of fun, we ended up walking back to her place and making sushi, it was incredible.

There were some interesting aspects of the concert, one being that Steve Correl was the host, and I found Obama dancing kind of awkward... but cool none-the-less. He spoke afterwards, and I'll tell you what, that guy knows how to speak and how to move a crowd. Once again, awesome. There were also some anti-gay protesters... that was interesting. 'Homo Sex is SIN' read one of the signs, it was quite bothersome. These huge brute type men holding signs and just taunting the crowd. I think I saw more gay people kissing infront of them then I ever had in my entire life, so that was an experiance.

There will be pictures to come soon. I should probably go take a shower now and get ready to go back to town, I know there are more experiances out there to be had. Oh, one more thing, the other night we were at a book store after we had gone to an Indian resturant and I donated $4 to some underground Art society or something. I got a bumper sticker that says "Stop Bitching, Start a Revolution", so I suppose it was worth it.

As always, much love.
