Well, a couple of weeks ago, this (severely intoxicated) guy comes up and does a little soft-shoe thing for us, before asking for spare change. It was pretty entertaining in a weird way, and I thought that I’d pretty much seen everything that downtown has to offer after that.

Well, I was wrong. Today, there were 10-15 of us sitting on a little concrete wall on 2nd ave during coffee break, and this guy comes up to us carrying a clipboard. We figured that he was some sort of pollster or something, which of course turned out to be a little off base.

He said “I’ve called you all here today…” at which point he realized that he didn’t have everyone’s attention, so he started again. “I’ve called you all here today…” at which point one of the other guys who was sitting with us interrupted him with a question (I don’t remember what it was).

“There’s a spaceship coming to Saskatoon…” he said before being interrupted again.

“Can I be the captain?” shot back one of my co-workers.

“You have to marry her.” the clipboard-man said, pointing to another coworker.

After a little bit more of an exchange, clipboard-man told us that we were all aliens, and walked away. I don’t really know what his point was, because he was interrupted so often, but I kinda wanted to hear the man out. He seemed pretty coherent, and didn’t appear to be high, or drunk. I kinda wish that he’d been allowed to speak his piece, if only to find out what he was thinking.

It all happened pretty fast, so I’m sure that I got things out of order, and left some things out, but that’s what happened.

It was kinda surreal, anyways, not your typical experience for downtown Saskatoon.
