While waiting in line for security, we made friends with a woman who was in line with us who ended up sitting next to me on our flight! Yay, airplane strangers!
While I was sitting there, two guys showed up with upright basses and started playing together. They were both using bows and making haunting, mournful, beautiful sounds and a man wandered over holding his newborn son and was holding him up into the sound. All while reading a book about learning to let go and get lost in life moment to moment. Call it the reason I live here.
After we'd gotten all settled in, this guy came out to explain that
we had been seated in different colored sections, and each section had a knight that we were supposed to cheer for.
On the way back to our apartment, we stopped to purchase FRIED OREOS! While the fried Oreos are photo-worthy on their own, the real reason I asked Josh to hold up the bag is because I wanted to capture a photo of the lady in the background because she's Leigh's nemesis!
Then this lady read from her memoir (about being an early porn star? I can't remember). What I do remember is that before she read she made a big ten minute show of insisting that one of her love slaves get onto his knees and place her candy-red high heel shoes on her feet for her.
On Thursday Sarah invited us to attend a reading her friend Stephen was reading at. We arrived to find out that there were a few other people scheduled to read first.
With over a foot of fresh powder on the ground, I decided to rent a pair of skis for the day and try some deep powder skiing. Oh, and the original inspiration for Borat was in line in front of us.
Next thing we knew we had a new best friend. (A best friend who, incidentally, liked to lift up his shirt and smack his belly loudly and repeatedly after each drink). Pauly can't believe it!
