I was just walking outside and was impressed to see a bunch of people wearing costumes during the day. Adults. These people were not content to just don the costume for a few evening hours. They want to savor the whole day, so they freaking OWN it. For instance, went to an audition today and a horse man was manning(horsing?) reception. Professionally answering the phone and attending to visitors.
But my favorite was actually seeing this guy as Jack Sparrow on a street corner. Waiting for the light to change. In character. The whole damn time. He had his hands up in a fey drunk manner and was watching the light. When he passed me by, he fingered the fabric of my coat.
Then I met the horse man and did the audition. Caught the elevator and pressed down and then saw the floor go to “X”. What is floor “x”? No idea! I was worried I was crossing over in an alternate dimension. Luckily, or perhaps unluckily, the doors didn’t open on floor X. It just paused for the longest time and then opened in the lobby. I could swear I didn’t see floor X on the way up. Was I supposed to see that? I feel like I accidentally discovered Narnia.
