Comm. Fest. and North Market

Benj and I decided to ride the bus downtown to see what all the Community Festivsl hype was all about. It was basically a big hippie festival in a park. It had lots of booths with all sorts of trinkets and fair food. There were lots of live bands and lots of hippies and weirdoes. We didn’t last long, but it was interesting to walk around for a little while and observe all different kinds of interesting people.

There were lots of people hula hooping in the middle of a crowd. This girl was pretty good. She had two going at once for a really long time and kept switching them around from neck to waist to hands to legs.

Ok, so maybe I shouldn’t post this, but it was the funniest thing I have ever seen. There was a band playing and they were pretty good. Then all of a sudden this guy comes out of the crowd and stands right in front of the band and starts dancing like no one was watching. It was awesome.

Oh, how I wish that I had been able to record this!

There were lots of other strange people at comm fest and a little too much beer for our liking, so we moved along to the North Market. This is a really neat indoor market downtown. I loved it! there were so many neat things. We got some delicious ice cream. There were really interesting flavors we tried rhubarb lime cardamom, brambleberry crisp, salty caramel, and blueberry lemon.  There were also stands that sold dessert crepes and waffles,  candy vendors, lots of produce, salsa vendors, and lots of really yummy food stands.

This is looking down on the market from the second floor.
