pie
comments: click the pie to see silly politicians. these guys accosted us while we were enjoying the 'main street days' a while back. ridiculous. that lady came running up to us and said. "hey guys!! look who's here!! it's Michael!" as if I was supposed to know this suit?! iyiyiyi! so that look of excitement on erin's face is actually bewilderment. and they were dragging around Sisi from canada's next top model. so lame. they run through and take all these pictures so it looks like they're down with the people. they weren't down. they were crazy. and yes, that is geoff glave in that pic, too. haha.
