it itches

so it turns out that i am allergic to the sun. after a day in the heat and humidity i broke out in a rash that drove me nuts. big red bumps all down my leg. i tried to not scratch and put ice on them but that was little relief. turns out that the spray bottle of aloe vera i brought in case of sunburn was the only help.

i did get to wander around the festival a bit and see what was here. i found a couple selling flavor ice that you get in the grocery store 20 for $1 for $1 each. we saw a tattoo artist working his trade, a rasta dj spinning, rick's mom's pasta, and fried oreos. there were so many other sights i could hardly imagine had i not seen for myself. the paper reported that 15,000 people would enter the gates each day.
we are going home tonight so i can shower and treat my heat rash. also because i was just supposed to help out and i have been running the booth every day for the past three. it has been a nice relief from unpacking though.

try slapping the itch, like you're supposed to do after getting inked. i swear it works even if it is totally remedial. after that, you can jump into a really really cold shower.

itch itch itch... the smog makes me sympathetic to you.
