Colon Blow and you, in the morning........

[patgund]

Took a half day on thursday and went up to downtown LA. (Mind you, I drove into Downtown, which was a mistake. Should have parked near a light rail or metrolink station and taken the red line to the civic centre).

The reason for this was something I read on the Roadside America website, which was the Southern California stop of the Colossal Colon, a 40 foot replica of a human colon you can crawl though. At various points in the Colossal Colon, you can see various diseases of the colon, ranging from polyups and the like to full-blown colon cancer.

Also met the creator of the Colossal Colon, Molly McMaster, who is a survivor of colon cancer and travels with her creation around the US. (side note: Molly McMaster is also the niece of one of my favourite SF/F authors, Lois McMaster Bujold)

I should have brought my camera. Was interesting, in a slightly demented sort of way

Oh, man, I would've loved to have seen that. Call a person next time you do something fun like that. ;-)

(Not really; you're allowed to do stuff by yourself. *grin* Still, it would've been fun.)
