Strangers In the Night


Everyone loves good people watching—It's is one of the main reasons thousands go to the State Fair multiple times a year (ok, maybe that’s a stretch—we all know the deep fried pickles, cheese curds and the pronto pups are the biggest reasons). Anyway, I am here to tell you that the Minnesota State Fair may no longer be the best place to People Watch on a summer evening. Coming in a close 2nd is the Vali-Hi drive in movie theatre… wow. I haven’t been to a drive in movie theatre in YEARS and after Saturday night, I probably know why. This was on the verge of not even ‘fun’ people watching, it was more disturbing than anything...I could probably fill up a month’s worth of blogging with all that I witnessed, but I will give some high (or low) lights of the event. Some things I witnessed can’t even be described over type.

Here goes:

The excessive amount of 5-10 year old kids there to watch The Hangover 2 and Bridesmaids with their parents, the pregnant teens there with their mom’s; all whom were sporting excessive amounts of tattoos and showing more skin than anyone should ever see in public, the 16 year old kid who waited with his girlfriend in the 45-minute bathroom line (I won’t even get into how disgusting the bathroom was) and decided they would make out for the majority of the time, the parent that not only brought her small daughter to see inappropriate adult movies, but brought a booster seat to put on the toilet so she wouldn’t fall in, the not-at-all-skinny guy dressed head to toe in red with a massive silver chain on his neck and his flat-brimmed hat cocked sideways who went back and fourth to the snack bar about three times and on the way back from is third trip, yelled to his friends “flip the steaks!”.
This may sound harsh, but the truth hurts, people!
I guess the strange come out when the sun goes down!
