i sometimes feel they are just pretending to be alternative beauty by slapping on some pink hair and a facial peircing or too. i would like to see some girls with different bodies and shapes. but once something becomes popular after a while it cant help but conform a little.
i feel more earthly as a brunette. xoxo

150,000? That figure seems dubious to me. It was big, but there weren't more than three Burning Mans of people in there. I wonder if they're counting ticket sales, with each ticket as one person, and people who bought two one-day passes double counted.

But yeah, boardgames are still mostly out of fashion back in the states. Lots of room to grow the market there, but not much knowledge or appreciation. Most Americans played Cludo (called "Clue" there) and Monopoly when they were kids, and think boardgames are simple, boring things they grew out of.

I'm seeing the 150,000 number in wikipedia, but the quoted source doesn't actually supply it. I really wonder if that's actual attendance or total ticket sales, and who's tracking this how.

That's only if there's no repeat people from day to day.
