Little Klaus, Big Run
I spent Sunday amongst a pulsing throng of humanity attending the 2010 LA Marathon. While there, I happened upon Internet Celeb Klaus Pierre, who had recently crossed the finish line.
Marathon days bring an unusual energy to the city. Instead of people putting on their public faces of ambivalence or disdain, passers by were giddy with euphoria and total exhaustion. I suppose having an influx of 25,000+ real life superheroes does a lot to lift the spirits of the locals. Despite the impossible parking snafus and traffic congestion, it was a terrifically pleasant day in Los Angeles.
