this weekend among the festivities, i saw a man wearing my dress.
not a dress like a dress that i have, but rather, a dress that used to be mine. long and black with big orange flowers and flowing split chiffon sleeves.
i told him about how it used to be mine. he told me about how he bought it for a dollar. it didn't occur to me until too late to take a picture with him.
i also rode a mechanical bull.
i stayed on for kind of a long time.
