As I was coming home from the orange county fair, i couldn't help but reflect about how it never changes, every year the same, always playing annoying catch phrases every 5 seconds, screaming kids, and worst of all the most annoying music. But around 7:00 pm, the entire fair becomes like a dream, about an hour after the sun goes down.Every booth and food stand is strung with lights, and 7:00 on the dot they all turn on, we're talking every lightbulb in the fair grounds all on the same timer. Whats more, to draw you to their stand, they are covered in florescent multi-color light bulbs. At 8:00 you feel like your in your own world, you start to see the lights not as lights but as stars. You feel as if you've floated far above earth into the galaxy above, and there is one spot right directly in the middle of the fair and they have a tent and a ladder with a skylight where you can get just high enough to see the whole park and your looking at a world made up of stars, visible from every angle.
