Kat & I went out to Coney Island today - first time for both of us! It was a ton of fun. Our friend Jen is in a radical marching band called Rude Mechanical Orchestra, and they were out there duelling with other marching bands today!
I have to admit, Coney Island is a little bit sketchy. The entrances to the rides seem to be alleys more than entrys, and a lot of the rides were still not running (it was really cold out there). But we went on the Wonder Wheel, this ferris wheel that has cars that swing and move all over the place. And the Cyclone, a great old wooden roller coaster. I wouldn't stay after dark. Or really, anytime close to dusk even. But it was a great time anyway, and I was excited to go out. Plus, Kat got to have her first corndog (hence, the blog title).

Cyclone! I love old, wooden roller coasters. I screamed the entire time (that's the fun of it all)!
