We were walking past the River Park Square in downtown Spokane this evening and through the windows was a throng of children watching other kids just inside the windows, many of whom were wearing fairy wings and other kinds of costumes in some sort of ceremony. It was packed enough that we decided our entry through the doors on either side of the ceremony would only be distracting; rather than walk through the mall we went around, so we didn’t figure out exactly what was going on.
In one of those completely odd juxtapositions of circumstance, the speakers on the outside of the mall were blasting Arthur Brown’s classic “Fire.”
