You know the nerds didn't let May 4th pass by uncelebrated. You know they had already made plans for the important day a month in advance. It was a "May the 4th be With You" celebration sponsored by the town of Jonesborough. You know they brought their light sabers and Kitty dressed up as Rey.
You also know that despite Booney's lukewarm attitude, it was actually a good time. There is something endearing about nerds and their fervor. The majority of people were dressed up and these strangers all milled around and chatted as if they were old friends. Old, nerd friends. Yes, the 4th was definitely with us that day.
We couldn't stay for the entire event because Kitty had a soccer game, but we played for a couple of hours and had fun regardless. Kitty completed a Jedi training course, we enjoyed arcade games, mined for precious stones, had pizza from another galaxy, pet a Tauntaun, and tried to shake a semi-annoying Mickey Mouse that kept photobombing us. My favorite part of the event was the green sherbet drink. I've been on a sherbet kick ever since.
We lost track of time and Kitty had to frantically switch from Rey to soccer star in the backseat of the car as we drove to her match. But they won the game so it was a successful day all around.
Happy Nerd Day!
May the sherbet be with you.
