we had a bubble blowing contest. in an alley between a k-mart and a bank. we tried to stay out of the wind and out of sight. little kids were roller blading near us. but we ignored them because we were blowing bubbles. big bubbles. well, not really. only louis and leslie were blowing big bubbles. me and greg were kind of failing. and je-yi wasn't even producing anything that could rightfully be deemed "a bubble." we bought big hunks of strawberry bubblicious and chewed until our jaws hurt. then we tried to blow big bubbles to impress each other and to win the coveted title of "biggest bubble gum bubble blower." awe inspiring title isn't it?



leslie is a bubble shark. louis has a big mouth and is full of hot air so it was no surprise that he was a big bubble blower. but leslie was really good at it. and when we increased bubblicious consumption to two pieces each, she could exhale into her bubble and make it sound like she was blowing helium into a balloon. pretty cool. you should ask her to do it. in the end, me and greg finally started to get some decent sized bubbles but it was too late because we were walking and nobody cared anymore because there were free hot dogs and pudding snacks by madison square garden. this was quite possibly the most fun thirty minutes i've had in quite awhile.
