Our big pop-culture event in Worcester was yesterday - World Smile Day - honoring Worcester's own Harvey Ball, creator of the smiley face. Not quite as exciting as Fluff...

The merch booth was at the narrowest point in the plaza, there was no line control, too few people working the table, and not much in the way of civility. Running out of bread is inexcusable.

The idea clearly has strong appeal, as the throngs can attest, but there was very little there there. Also, from anecdotal reports I've heard, they were running out of stuff. We got there probably between 4:30 and 5:00, and Bryan got on a (poorly defined) line to buy a t-shirt. (As you know, hipster doofus he is not - he just likes to wear t-shirts.) By the time he got to the front of the line, they were out of the t-shirt he wanted in his size and only had XXL. Meanwhile, one of the grad students I work with went to the festival with her husband. She's Canadian and had never had fluff before, so she wanted to try it. Her husband waited in line at the fluffernutter booth (she's expecting, so she went off to sit down) and by the time he got to the front of the line they'd run out of bread! That's just not right.
