I'll go pretty much anywhere and do pretty much anything if for no better reason than the story I can tell the next day. I think exposure to a wide variety of experiences and environments is an important factor in leading a really fulfilled life. That being said, we went to a gun show today, and wow. Unfortunately, they had posted signs banning photography and recording devices, so I only managed to quickly shoot some pictures outside (the gentleman holding the three guns in the doorway actually ratted me out, and I had to talk to a cop right after this shot anyway).
In summary though, the Confederacy is still alive and kicking all the way up north in Ohio (which is strange since they never really made it here during the Civil War), and I definitely saw a tattoo of a distinctly un-American eagle on the back of a shaved head...twice. I learned that for a low six dollar admission price, anyone can easily purchase any gun ever if they have as much cash as the price of an iPod (walking around, we were even offered an AK47 by a kind man who apparently couldn't afford his own booth). And without getting too far into my political views on gun laws, the NRA (who apparently wants to recruit both my wife and I by the way), or anything like that, man...today was definitely an experience.
P.s. Of course there's a "which way to the gun show" joke in here somewhere.
i went to a knife show once. it was a similar experience to what you're describing. i've never been called "little lady" so many times in my entire life.
