people will be..people

exodus, originally uploaded by smoooch.

My neighborhood had a party the other day. A day to leave the car at home and enjoy the neighborhood. Wander around and look at lots of people doing people things.

walking on stilts
drinking openly on sidewalk patios that stretched out into the middle of the road
spinning a hoop trance like
chanting
hanging around
riding recreated and reconstructed bicycle sculptures
using the road as a giant chalkboard
performing random acts of massage thereapy

and so on..

Despite the general infamy of Vansterdam and particularly Commercial Drive as being havens for open marijuana smoking, narry a pot cloud was to be sniffed and nor a copper to be seen.
