$30 Samurai Swords!

I am glad I went to support my sister at the NAGA grappling competition at some podunk dirty casino in Rhode Island. The rules are strict and you could get disqualified if you got caught using the restrooms barefoot.

Sometimes, you go to an event with a P.A. set-up and they have simply handed the wrong person a microphone - or too many people have microphones. The guy selling discounted samurai swords had a mike and so did judges and they competed for air time - interrupting each other on microphones to say things like "Jim, I need you to stop for a minute, this is important."

It was as great for people watching as I'd hoped. There was a girl wearing a tail and a bell around her neck - but I couldn't get a decent photo of the bell:


This girl had a shaved head and tattooed scalp and scared the bejeezus out of me:

You could tell the difference between the athletes and the fans - athletes could be seen puking into trash cans after being wrestled and choked and fans. . . looked different. . . can you tell which is which?
