The great thing about living in a city, even one as small as Boston, is that once the snow melts away and the sun arrives, there is always something going on during the summer. Today, Alex and I met up for dim sum and tea because she's all finished with school and on her way of representing our fine nation abroad (cannot be more proud of that girl). We grabbed some tea and pastries and looked for a place to sit on the Commons. That was when we spotted big white tents, a decent crowd, and heard live music. Naturally, we walked toward the commotion.
Moi: Oh, hey, a fair!
Alex: Look at all the colorful balloons.
Moi: Yes... balloons of all different colors... and oh, those girls I saw in purple earlier... hm.
Alex: How's this spot?
(we sit under a tree at the edge of the event, one that grants us a full view of the tents and people and a giant banner)
Moi (reading from the banner): Gay- Straight- Youth- Pride- oh.
(later, Alex gets really into the music...)
Alex: Yeah! Fight the power, fight the Man!
Moi: I don't think it's that kind of rally...
