thewingedwordSo a scheme has been developed to knit Gabe Saporta some Jayne hats, because he's a crazy psycopath and I want to see him in a dorkass knitted hat before I die.
This is Gabe Saporta (on the left, supporting his probably-drunken friend William Beckett).
This is a Jayne hat.
They BELONG TOGETHER, people! It's like destiny.
I was digging through my pictures and found a bunch of photos from back when I went to Chicago, so y'all are getting a mini-picspam of those, because Chicago is a beautiful city. New York is shine and intimidating, and Vegas is sparkle and fun and doing the things you want to do, but Chicago is a place I would really like to live someday. Perhaps I shall.
Okay, now that I've inflicted you all with my madness and mediocre photography skills, I want to know the weirdest thing you ever saw on a vacation. I just got back from Vegas and saw some pretty weird things, and I'm curious if that happens in cities with a lower percentage of Elvis per capita.

These are in an order which would be completely random if it were not, in fact, chronological.
This was an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art. People were encouraged to write, scribble on, stick things into, and generally deface a series of walls covered in basically tinfoal over foam. Paper airplanes were popular, as were coins and profanity. If you look half-way up on the left edge, you can see some words made of white paper, which actually read "Tom, will you marry me?" People had written "NO" all over them, ha.
Truefacts: On one of the other walls, someone had written "wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel", which is a lyric from the Fall Out Boy song The Pros and Cons of Breathing, from their second album. Pete Wentz: Modern Art.
This was from a bizarre circus exhibit in, of all places, the Museum of Science and Industry. I have strong suspicions that Jon Walker or Pete Wentz took Panic! there one time and they were inspired. I'm not even joking.
Sorry these pictures are kind of shitty and taken through heavily barred glass, but: Wooden Ostrich with Rose Garland.
Ryan Ross. NOTE THE ROSES, people.
Random Bear in an Apron.
Brendon Urie. Okay, now I feel kind of bad. I'M SORRY BRENDON, I don't really think you're like a crossdressing stuffed bear, honest.
That got kind of out of my control. Um. Have a picture of The Bean!
My favorite thing about this picture is the way the buildings curve around the edge. My second-favorite thing is the little girl in green on the left touching her reflection, because I did the exact same thing thirty seconds later. You can actually see me reflected towards the right edge, wearing Converse and holding my camera up to my face. The sky was exactly that shade of blue

Date: 2007-06-21 05:30 pm (UTC)Heh, when Eppie went to Chicago she took a picture of the Bean and I loved it so much and did the whole "I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine, and he will be my squishy" thing from Finding Nemo. So I call it the Squishy.
The weirdest thing I've ever seen on vacation... Hmm. Went through the Badlands awhile back, and every time we went to take a picture of any of the buffalo, they started to crap. I think the camera was magic, and not in a fun way. Anyway. Saw a white buffalo, and it was funny because he was standing next to a sign advertising buffalo jerky.
Also saw graffiti on a wall that said "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" and I spent a good while wondering if she said yes. Also saw stuffed "jackalopes" in various places and there were a bunch of Koreans following us in South Dakota.
We called them a "flock" after trying out various names for groups of things. We were in the same hotel, and we went to Mt. Rushmore and the rock thing from Close Encounters, and every damn where we went they were there also. It was giggle-inducing (but of the insane-I-have-been-stuck-in-a-car-with-the-people-I-hate-most-in-the-world-kill-me-now" giggles).

The closest I've come to a "roadtrip" was driving to Chicago with my parents and my best friend, and we just listened to music and then fell asleep on each other, so there was no trauma. I don't know that I could handle being that close to people for so long, I admire your patience.

with every breath i wish your body would be broken again?
