Bluegrass taking over the park

Yesterday the annual Bluegrass festival took over GG park. The crowd was a mix of hippies, yippies, and everything in between. Some of my favorite characters:
  • Overalls no-shirt man: who proudly walked the park thrusting his gut at anyone who got in his way
  • Dancing queen: a blatantly blazed woman giving "peanut butter" cookies to anyone who passed then made them dance in wild cirlces with her
  • Tree man: who climbed to the top of a tall tree only to fall 13 feet
  • Truck man: who was with a party on top of a moving van, jumped, and lunged his foot through the roof of a porta potty (how I would hate to be in that porta)
  • Smell this man: who decided Lisa and I had to smell his weed to get the full effect of the concert, then asked us to smoke, then looked completely dejected when we said no
  • Fighting hippies: two long haired 70somethings who started brawling

Nothing like a day in the park.
