walking through the city
i noticed
a lot of people
dressed differently
than the usual weekend attire
how fun to discover
that people from all over
of all ages and stages
had come to town to be part of
an ‘alice in wonderland’ immersive experience.
also fun to imagine them crossing paths with the families
who might be nervous
dropping off their child at the uni
visiting our city for the first time.
“what kind of city is this?!”
“this wasn’t in the brochure.”
“do you think they’ll be safe here?”
and this was only day one.
—
“when I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened,
and now here I am in the middle of one!”

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
The parents are going to think it is a Liberal Arts college…lol! Fun post, Beth!

When we lived in Seattle, I used to love Emerald City Comic-con, when Darth Vader might walk down the street next to Harley Quinn!

What is wrong with such tales, with fantasy, with rebelling against rationalism and logic? Nothing as far as I am concerned… Lovely pics!

Wow. It must be really fun. It’s normal for the parents to be nervous, they should probably have added that in the brochure 😂
