the holiday weekend

it has definitely been a multicultural weekend in atlanner --- the baseball crowd for the braves and the college football crowds from virginia, alabama, and carolina for two games made marta a zoo yesterday --- there was the educated bookish crowd in decatur for the book festival, which touts itself as the largest independent show in the country --- there was the young urban black gay pride crowd, which brought a whole lot of people to the park this evening --- and there was the dragon con wierdo crowd, which we had to go back to gawk at some more this afternoon --- must have been fun although some of the young'uns were looking a little tuckered out
