The Picnic

We had the Google Picnic yesturday. It was pretty cool. Very family oriented. Kinda like a big fair/carnival. But without all the rides. They had a petting zoo, carnie games, and some rock walls for climbage. The first rock wall was too easy, but the second one they decided to not give hand grips for after a certain point. Maybe they thought it would be funny if I couldn't even jump to reach anything. I watched several other people fail at it too, so at least I wasn't the only one. They also had a "Google Idol" competition. Ugh. I'm so sick of all these rip-offs of such a terrible show. The surprising thing was, they had a lot of good people. One girl played video game music for 15-20 minutes without any written notes. But the best by far was the girl who sang opera. She was fantastic. Apparently she was on an archeological dig in Sicily, and her team made her sing on top of a mountaintop. That would have been awesome to see. Yeah, I forgot how much I love opera. I need to find me some more opera music. The only bad thing about the picnic was not being able to really find anyone we knew. I went with Jenny, and we ran into two or three people we knew, but it was so crowded and big we couldn't really find anyone for more than a few minutes. Ah well, it was still lots of fun.
