You will never guess who I saw on Wednesday! The Cloud! I barely recognized him in civilian clothing, let alone not in his natural cloud formation. He asked for a macchiato, and I looked at him closely. Then I asked, "Are you the Cloud?" and he looked confused, then sort of came to the realization that he was, indeed, the Cloud.
Then we passed several minutes in pleasant conversation, none of which alluded to the weather.
Please tell me more.
ReplyDelete..and just where did you run into him?
ReplyDeleteI ran into the cloud at the Bakery, and if the above post confuses you... let me tell you more of the story.
ReplyDeleteAt the Halloween Silver Hearts show that Heike, Bocky, Chelsea, Tarp (Rob) and I attended, Heike and I were outside drinking whiskey when up the street ambled a beautifully puffy cloud. He was covered in that fluffy stuff from the inside of cushions, and he held in his hand the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
He had made a cloud on a stick (coathanger) with a drinking straw for lightning, which actually LIT UP (I forgot to draw that part in the diagram). I haggled with him for it, and we ended up trading that Inclement Weather Cup and 2 kate nametags. The cloud-on-a-stick is now gracing my studio :)
We found out that he was Richard, one of the caterers from the Flying Chestnut that was at the wedding. So I sort of vaguely slightly remembered him when I saw him a few days ago at the bakery, but wasn't fully sure if it was him or not (since I was drinking at both occasions...heavily at the halloween party).
And that concludes the story of the Cloud. I will post a photo of the actual cloud-on-a-stick too... just so you can see how kick-ass it is.
...whew!!!! i have NEVER run into a cloud, with or without lightning...that would be one for the memory book, as indeed it now is for all of us...thank you!
