2.6m square feet
teflon covered fiberglass sails
porthole windows barrel glass vaults
meant to emulate ocean waves
i ask my mother to drive past this place several times a week
remember how it feels to be towered over the edge of something cold and grey
this weekend i went inside for the first time in years
like most people, I Like Pop Culture
but comic con has always been more a social and sensorial thing for me
but it's odd experiencing familiar imagery in a space within an unfamiliar context. went the first day and felt
weird
i guess
it's always nice feeling secondhand excitement from participating in communal activities whether you care about the thing or not
when i went back it was empty
trying to remember how to move within the rhythm of a crowd
couldn't get the nerve up to go again until the last day. spent the intermediate time wondering if the thing that occupied my thoughts was anything
or if i was just losing my taste for Outside
wandered around
the convention center and surrounding area
by myself in silence
