friends with strangers in omaha
upon first meeting minwin and experiencing life magical, people's reactions invariably range from confusion and denial to acceptance and wonderment. it's all perfectly valid within the course of human emotion after all. but for everyone with the courage and curiosity to embrace such an opportunity, we trip the light electric and momentarily leave behind the confines of regularity.
the first group i met as i was walking back to the hotel from friday night drinks with the wedding party. they were party hopping and looking for a fun time, though they seemed lost and unsure of how to continue. ah, if only they realized what was right before them (minwin = party in a box). alas, there was only a single believing soul in that group, who i was happy to talk to. they hurriedly ran off almost forgetting their case of beers, ready to try their luck with the night.
the second group i stumbled across near the end of saturday night's festivities. they'd come from another wedding party and appeared to be winding down. while a slow exhaustion had crept over me as the night was progressing, i pepped back up when i met this group. they were interesting personalities who were probably as curious about me as i was about them. i was happy to see they were playful.
