This past Saturday Jules’ parents arrived for a two-week visit to Seattle! Their first day was quite busy, and we ended up walking from our place past downtown towards South Lake Union.

We were on our way back from Whole Foods Market after getting Jules’ dad some gluten-free foods and across the street appeared “Anonymous” in their Scientology Protest. (For those not in the know, this is a silly internet meme started by Project Chanology (4chan) meant to cause harmless confusion, i.e. Scientology is ridiculous, so our protest will be as well. Their site’s vibe is all about anonymity, hence the group calling themselves “Anonymous“.) They “smiled” and waved at us when they saw me taking photos, then happily moved on.

It’s fun to see these flash mobs and public displays of randomness gaining popularity. It goes to show that people are still creative and interested in having some harmless fun rather than causing destruction and chaos. (See this post from my hero Graham Linehan with the lovely Father Ted reference. Hah!) I would have gladly joined in this one had I not already been having such a great time with the Lancaster family. :D
