So I have another waffle vid for you from my infamous art project. I apologize in advance for any shakiness in the video. I checked the camera after Jim informed me that my last vid was like the opening of Cloverfield 2. Ouch- but he’s right. It looks fine on the camera, but there’s something wrong in the export. Anyway, I’ll try to get that fixed in the near future. But first- waffles:
So my buddy Ronak wanted to try the waffles for herself, and our Wednesdays have been booked solid at work. We had to schedule a quick 30 min meeting on our office calendars to even attempt to get waffles. When our selected Wednesday came, we *ran* out the door, got on Muni and ran up the escalator to get our waffles. We started eating them on the street and then realized even after one bite that we had to hurry back, so we started our way back down to the Muni train, running through the station. We shouldn’t have run for two reasons-
1) the waffles are meant to be enjoyed, not rushed
2)Ronak was getting powdered sugar all over herself (I’m not sure but I think she’d do this standing still too) As we were running through the gates, two female Muni cops yelled for us to stop. So we stopped and brandished our Muni passes. They said- “thanks, but we saw you had passes, we’re just stopping you because you aren’t supposed to have food down here ohhh, waffles! Aren’t those good? and (looking at me) Don’t gobble that waffle down, take your time and enjoy it. I said, “she hasn’t had the waffles before so we had to run out of work so she could try one. We scheduled a meeting and everything.” They looked at us, then at each other and said- “well, y’all go on through, but you’re not supposed to have food down here, so if another Muni officer gets mad, it’s on you.” So we ran down the remaining stairs and caught a train back to the office. Those 20 minutes were the only bright spot in a rough and busy week. Mmm waffles.
