I live in old hippyville, so I see ALL sorts of characters at the local festivals... but last summer at a big 4th of July show in Eugene, I saw 2 people who really stuck with me.
One guy was selling "The Funniest Joke Book of All Time"... a colorful fellow with a long white beard and goggles, who carries his books in a red wagon full of rubber chickens.
At the same show, a person showed up in a very good Star Wars Stormtrooper's costume. He wasn't with the fair, locals said he just shows up at festivals in his suit. Looked like he was having fun, walking around taking pics with all the little kids and drunk ladies.
I love the northwest. LOVE all our freaks... they make me feel almost normal by comparison. hahaha. Almost.
