All the previous three nights had low numbers of people in the building, about 1/3rd less, than tonight. Why? The doors were closed the first three nights. This is significant because it shows the power of visual suggestion over hardcore, factual signage. Even though the signs say, “Come on In” and “Enter” or “Exit”, the symbolic gesture of the closed doors makes people fearful to look foolish if the doors don’t lead anywhere. The pictures from Test 1 all have an open door.

These random photos show the kind of fun and jesting that occured with Lewy, Randy and I are in the booth together. It’s a dangerous combination for silly behavior because we all think we are pretty funny together even though we are getting to be old men and old men aren’t supposed to laugh and have fun. We had a fun night and made a ton of people laugh or smile with our conversations and gifts to them. These small gesture make a huge difference to connect to others! The pictures from Test 2 all have a smiling or mostly smiling person in them. Someone might also think that a commonality between each picture is that we are serving other people in each one.
