hippieeeees!

One of my MIT friends in Seattle, who lives by the waterfront in the Belltown neighborhood (think hip BMW-driving rich yuppies) was apparently caught up in a mass hippie invasion this morning while walking to the supermarket.

"Oh my god," he said, "it's a hippie fest outside! Some dude stoned on pot kept harassing me about where the park was!" The park right outside his rather pricey waterfront apartment was the site of the 2003 Seattle HempFest, billed as the "world's largest annual rally calling for an end to marijuana prohibition."

"There were signs taped to our elevators telling us not to let any hippies in! Stupid hippies!"

So, so funny! I laughed for 5 minutes.
