Three items encountered on a recent trip to Maine,
I recently returned from a trip to Portland, Maine. While there, I encountered a disproportionately large degree of weirdness, leading me to suspect that the city is due for a thorough inspection by the Sleepers. All three of these items are real.
I observed several youths, dressed in mismatched vaguely formal wear (stove-top hats, suits), protesting the demotion of Pluto and demanding its reinstatement. Perhaps astrologers upset at having to redo their star charts?
In a city square, I found a pile of several dozen small rocks, each two to three inches wide. On each rock had been written the word “peace.”
And, finally, I saw a young man, bearded, wearing a red cape and a silvery mask vaguely resembling a bird’s head, running through the arts festival being held that weekend. He was accompanied by the sound of music-I cannot identify the tune, but it was one of those songs with lots of bird calls and other wildish noises. He seemed to be conducting a sort of bizarre dance involving a lot of flourishes with his cape.
I managed to get photos of the last two items. If the pictures come out, I can provide them if anyone is interested.
Oh, seeing the pictures would be very nice.
Well, I am picking the pics up tomorrow, so we will see if they came out.
I keep wondering what archetype cape-dude was channelling…
Maybe he was a Personamancer?
That would be my first guess.
Hey, could you send me the pics? I’d be very interested. I guess it’s a baaaad thing for the astrologers to lose a planet, it can trample down the way the take money away from people. The guys in black were maybe channeling the Crook ( hahaha )
Once I get them scanned, I am going to put them on photobucket or something similar and put a link here.
That man, the one dressed in silver and red, I believe is called the “Cat Dancer”. If I’m reading the description correctly.
He’s a sort of cult legend there among convention-ers.
If you ask him, he’ll give you a hug.
(No joke, I met him at a convention in Portland just last year)
Cool. I think that’s the first time I’ve ever met a legend. 😉
So when will we see those pictures?
I found the website of the Cat Dancer:

Yeah, he’s “Cat Dancer”. He’s a child sexual offender. He’s a complete pervert, who even does bondage. It’s disgusting. He goes to all these Anime conventions. http://cat0dancer.livejournal.com
He needs to be arrested. Now.
