The Antisocial Socialist

Almost no one I know goes to see the cherry blossoms in High Park anymore, because it's hella crowded and how can you schedule your time around basically two days, which may or may not fall on a weekend. I haven't seen them in years. The fact that there is a Sakura Watch website should tell you how obsessive we get in this city about our magical little window where the most beautiful possible plant is at its prettiest.

But ioplokon is new here and has never gone so we had to go, basically, and we were big-brained smart people who went early, before the mobs really hit the park.

I also have a new camera lens and I'm going to make it everyone's problem, basically. The result is that, even excluding the pictures of the two of us since this is a public post, I had to massively whittle down my shots to avoid overwhelming y'all.
