This Sunday we went to Descanso Gardens, a really nice garden that's not too far from home. There's pretty much always something blooming and it's usually a nice quiet place to spend an afternoon.

Well. Usually.

Turns out this weekend they were having a calliope festival. It was unbelievable - you couldn't get away from them. It seemed like they were set up every twenty feet or so. The whole thing reminded me of one of my favorite Far Side cartoons: "Welcome to hell, here's your accordion."

Why don't you watch (and listen to) this and see what I'm talking about (1.3 Mb .wmv file)

Phew.
