Where it's at

We were backstage at the Beck show and Beck was late to go on, as he was on the phone on the sofa behind us. Rini and I were putting on these matching shorts and got ready to leave. But instead of going to the show, we went outside.

First, we passed by the Harry Potter Hogwarts Photo School, on the second floor of an old tenement building, which had a huge line in front. There were also striking fans holding signs that said "Move the photo school to the first floor!" Pretty much everyone there was wearing wizard robes, which we found out were on sale at booths set up for people waiting in line.

We passed by the photo school to end up at the "Dress Up Like Beck" area. I thought this was hugely lame and walked around, shocked that the place, kind of like a flea market, was so packed with people who really wanted to look exactly like Beck. Rini said, "Can you imagine, if it was 'Dress Up Like Vanilla Ice', no one would be here!"
