Where
Do these people migrate from? Such odd folks moving into the city.
When
Do people become so joyless and humorless they're unable to appreciate somebody doing something unusual?
Joyless?
There adults playing in a ventilated bag! Attentions seeking, Yes. Joyful, depending on what brings you joy i guess!
Yes, joyful
They are people having fun for a couple of moments, in a festival whose purpose is to get people to break out of their traditional molds, even if just for that moment or two.

Sunday part of Figment was cancelled entirely
due to weather.
Okay I can see how it would
Okay I can see how it would be if it was something set up for kids to partake in. For some reason this struck me as college students wanting to participate with the least amount of effort possible.
Were they both named Dick?
And was there a beatnik on hand to let the cats out of the bag?
Kind of crazy looking, but I
Kind of crazy looking, but I'd try it! All of the grumps commenting on kids having fun playing outside in the city need to get over themselves.
Kids?
They look like adults to me.
Young at heart then. Happy
Young at heart then. Happy now?
