Iowa Shotgun wedding!

It wasn't a shotgun wedding, actually. But on the way there I came up with a new twist on the whole kooky cute road trip movie. Yes, exactly. Gay Iowa shotgun wedding road trip. Whee. It was a lovely wedding.

We biked downtown for the farmer's market today. It was pretty nice. I do like Minneapolis a lot.

WAY COOLER THAN ST. PAUL AMIRIGHT? I totally don't understand people who hate Minnesota that much. We are actually a supremely rocking state. Except, supposedly we all get SAD. Seasonal something disorder. Actually it's Seasonal AFFECTATION disorder.

However... (you were waiting for this, right?) I was very frustrated, creeped out and amused by some events and characters at the market. Two women, one dressed entirely in pink (decorated with glittering "princess"'s to boot) and another with a cast on her arm. The woman in pink was "healing" the other woman's arm by loudly repeating "Lord Jesus" over and over. "Lord Jesus this. Lord Jesus that. Lord Jesus Lord Jesus Lord Jesus wears a hat." On the sidewalk in the middle of the farmer's market. When we walked by again, the woman with the cast was sitting with a little asian girl from a nearby store and trying to convert her.

Also, we passed some sort of scientology center on the way. They had books with volcanoes on them and personality tests.

Crazy people are scary.

Publicity stunt. Or maybe they were just trying to be unique. Cause you know everyone who goes to the Farmer's Market is inherently awesome. So they were trying to be... not awesome?
St Paul sucks! It's so dead! But I like the St. Paul Farmer's Market a lot better than Minneapolis's...
