So it was the 2nd bizarre event and there were some hella weird people there!
Countless women were too freaked out by handstamps to take em as we collected their admissions dollar-- that's right, just a dollar. But they freaked over that too! As if it was a fortune.. it's such a respectable company you know! Why are they so bitter?!
My trio stood there for 3 hours collecting money and made over $60 just at our entrance alone (there was one on the other side of the bizarre). I also had a feeling that some of the people were SAYING they were vendors, but really not. A labradoodle was there! I'd never seen one and on Marley&Me I thought it was a made-up name for a breed! Haha it was pretty awesome cause my friends were there! Well you know the deal- best and boyfriend! Thanks for reading =)
OHH! AND I SNAGGED WITH PERMISSION AN OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE FREAKY BABY HEAD TEE BAG THING! How accurate was my drawing? Be honest.

HIPPIE WAGON!
DUDES! Coolest thing ever! I saw a freakin Hippie van that looked like the Mystery Machine! I've seen it over the years but only a few times and never caught a picture! The two people in my other pictures (the boy and the girl- boyfriend and best friend) were along with me in the car. I saw the van pulling up into its driveway and I said, "Ooh! STOP PLEASE!" to him, and he started to slow down. My best friend said, "No! Don't stop, she's retarded" but he did.
Thank goodness because as soon as we pulled over, I had my phone out and ready and the
passenger (an older woman of about 60 years old- amazing I know!) and the driver (her husband I presume) got out of the car. She told me to come here before I snapped the picture. My boyfriend said he was going to come with me and I ran toward the woman and she asked how many of us there were. She opened up the car door behind the passenger's seat. I said three, and she gave us three necklaces with peace signs hanging on them. Then before she shut the door she said, "We even have green carpet in here!"
I asked if I could take a picture of their car and she said in a slow, monotone voice with a constant smile that never left her face, "sure, go ahead, we've had a lot of fun in this van," I excitedly said, "So would I!" Her husband was standing in the back of the car. I took the picture and said, "THANK YOU! You guys are so awesome!" and she held up a peace sign with her hand, said "Peace" and we left. I was smiling for so long, because that was so cool!
Most awesome thing ever!!!!!!!! How many times does that happen in a lifetime!? Probably once if not at all, I am thrilled I've met real hippies, that after years and years, they remain what they believed in!

So Boring It Was Fun!
That event I was telling you about on Saturday... So I thought it would be so much fun like the other one was right? Well whoever said Bizarres are fun when you work at one, YOU LIED!! My boyfriend had to pay for parking and the machine ate his $9, so we had to pay twice which was retarded. Then the man kept yelling at me for not walking through the entrance to the Bizarre, but I just kept on crawling under the strings with the flags on them, you know the ones they use like Crime Scene Tape so you won't cross? Well i said hell no to the guy i wasn't going to walk all the way around the damn park to get in. Then, they made me pay to get in because they didn't believe that I was a volunteer. 
My booth was selling rabbit fur, to my surprise. I had 3 people come with me, no chairs, we had to take turns in the seat I was in.
I seriously considered going to the store and buying a box of TWIX and selling them for like 50 cents a piece. That would have made a hell of a lot more money because one woman came up to us and said, "did you kill the rabbits yourself?!" and another woman in a wheelchair asked us where the rest of the rabbit was so she could eat it.
We sat there and stood there for THREE HOURS just finding jokes to make. The best one was so freaky we cried laughing so hard. Across from our booth was a stand (I drew you a very crappy image of it so you can have a visual) much like this one, that had a horrible name. On top of that, to make it more demented than it already was, the baby doll head at the top of the pole had a slit across the top of the head from ear to ear, where the piece of paper was inserted to be held.
The baby head kept spinning with the wind and kept looking over into our direction.
So we walked over there and the bags were all made out of shirts, which gave it the name Tee Bags (still such a horrible name). We asked the woman why she did that to the baby's head, and why she was using a baby head of all things. She said "Well, you know... people might not remember me but they WON'T forget my display!" She sounded even crazier than we thought. We said, "it keeps moving in our direction staring us down and it's really freaky" and she said, "Haha! oh yeah, well I have a bunch of em at home for my garden in the front yard... I put arms through the ears and stack the heads up like totem poles" We tried so hard not to laugh, and then my friend found a shirt bag on the rack that had a beheaded kitten on it! (My re-made image of it sucks but you get the idea). IT WAS SO FREAKY!!!!!
After that we left early we were so tired and hot, and the band was really shitty trying to imitate songs like Dreamweaver and stuff like that, even Rolling Stones stuff, but every time he hit a high note his voice would quiet down, then deeper would get louder. Then, we realized it was a woman the whole time!
We had a lot of fun in such a boring place for so long, cause a lot of friends together can make fun or hell of anything. This time, it was fun. Then we went to Denny's to eat lunch.

Miley, Jessie, or Woody?
Hello everyone,
My name is Shannon. I have been through so many experiences that were nothing short of awesome!
Lately I've been volunteering for an amazing company for victims of dangerous environments. I got an email from the company inviting me to a concert at a church. I went to the concert and for some reason I kept having the worst energy spurts ever! I was sitting through the concert and I noticed the playground outside and practically ran out there and turned into a monkey. One woman actually stared at me for a few minutes thinking there was something was wrong with me.
After that I was hoping the next event would be funner. Well I got another eVite from the company and it was a hoedown/cookoff. I got there and helped set up, being as festive as I could. I started jumping in the bouncy house, then saw that people were setting cowboy hats and bandannas on the tables for decoration.
Of course I went over to snag a hat and bandanna. My best friend put my hair in the worst pigtails ever. I felt like an idiot. But then, of course my boyfriend is going to tell me I look beautiful, right? Naturally, I don't believe it.
A woman who was all cowgirled-up already looked like she would know what she's doing... unlike my best friend. So with the best pigtails she could manage, I asked the cowgirl to tie a bandanna around my neck like hers. I felt like Miley, but everyone kept saying I looked like Woody or Jessie from Toy Story. The woman then put a bandanna on my best friend's head and it looked a hell of a lot cuter than I did!
The day started to drag on and it got really hot, so we went to leave. Then, just as we walked out, I heard something that made my heart pound out of my chest and I had to run back in like a maniac- MUSIC! People were dancing! My first comment- "hell yeah I'm gonna go dance!"
So I did... after the dancers were finished I went up to one of them and asked them to teach me how to Salsa dance. I got it down pretty quickly, then Lady Gaga came on and I FREAKED. I mean seriously I screamed. I then requested the Hoedown Throwdown song so that I could perform the dance. Coincidentally I'm actually not that fond of Hannah Montana. I started doing the dance and everyone stared at me and screamed and clapped, shouting "yeah!" and dancing in their seats. I felt like I looked like an idiot once again. Not to make you think I'm a crazy person who escaped my ward-- I'm not...
At the end of the day when it was almost cleared out and a little girl came up to dance with me. I couldn't stop dancing to save my life. I kept getting text messages from my mom saying to stop dancing and come home. Hell no! I didn't care I had school at 8AM the next morning! Eventually, everyone left and I went home... FUNNEST DAY EVER!!!
I can't wait for the event coming up in two days, this Saturday!
Thanks for reading this, please post comments for me and I'll read your blogs =)
