Dallas

I went to Dallas in November for a conference (NAEYC-- National Association for the Education of Young Children) and have been meaning to post some of the just-absolutely-amazing things about Dallas that leave you in awe, but let me start with something that shows the true beauty, none of that commercial, plastic, primary-colors-til-our-eyes-bleed-them bull shit about early childhood education. Here's one great example, this man selling some children's music CD in the exhibit hall with a bunch of women (yes wearing lanyards or clay beads or gold pins in the shape of two children holding hands) enjoying themselves way too much as I walk by embarrased (even though this is what makes going to these things great):



And another of a group of grown women participating in some sort of group hand-jive session with the Lakeshore. Circle time!
