…which is Milwaukee’s annual music festival, when I was in town last week.
Volkswagen had a tent set up there, and in the tent was a bicycle-powered photo booth. The idea was simple: get on the bike and pedal for a minute or so to generate enough power to run the photo booth, then get inside and snap a shot that Volkswagen would then email to you.
I pedaled. My mom and I got inside the booth and got our photo taken. And when I got home, this photo was in my inbox.

That’s not me or my mom,

Maybe it is us in the future, or in the past. Or one of our past lives??????

Could be! But my guess is it’s just strangers.

I really want your mom to be right now. This would be a great case of “I told you so”

but it was from Summerfest, right? At least they hopefully got that right.

It was! But whoa… it would have been creepy if it wasn’t.

They are probably sending the same photo to everybody. I mean hey, who are you going to bitch at because you got the wrong, free photo?
