[Edley Rondinone]

I was downtown at the Strawberry Festival, eating some of the Ruggles free ice cream; I was wearing one of my black shirts, the one with the "blacklight" Cobra on it, and I was wearing my Medusa-like Cobra hat.
I watched 5 or 6 Queens of the faire, (Miss Rutabaga, Miss Strawberry, etc etc) walk down the street, look at me and my shirt and hat, point, giggle, and continue on their merry way. Couple of minutes later, they came back and asked if I would pose for a picture with them: the 5 Festival queens, and this 6'8" (with hat!) Cobra freak. Of courseI obliged, and they were quite thrilled with their picture. I am kicking myself in that I did not ask for a print to be mailed back to me.

I probably posed for 20 photos with people's kids.
