Kinetics

The Kinetic Sculpture Contest is a fun thing to go to. People put on silly costumes

Build silly contraptions that allegedly float, roll, and are human propelled

And propel them over the water and land for about 2 hours while we spectators drink beer, shoot cannons, and ride our own strange contraptions.

Such as this electric monowheel.

Mango wheat beer is smooth and packs a pretty good punch, but given a choice I think I'd have preferred an oatmeal stout.

Proving that the nuts don't fall far from the tree, my daughter want's to do this next year as a participant. We're thinking her and some of her friends as Disney princesses on an aligator themed craft. Putting a dummy of a small child in the alligator's mouth is the kind of completely tasteless thing that wins you big style points in this event. We'll see.
