After all these buzz-kill, serious posts I decided to do a warm and fuzzy one. I was on my way to watch my friend’s modern dance performance when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. Crocs! Remember those rubber shoes with holes that everyone wore (still wears?) in Boulder. I heard that the guy who owns Crocs lives in Boulder, right? So in the spirit of cross-cultural interaction during the Olympics here is Boulder’s contribution to China. I hadn’t noticed before but they really are popular in Beijing. I decided on my way to the performance to stop every person wearing Crocs for a quick picture. I ended up taking so many, just on the way to the subway, that I was late for my friend’s show. This was all within about an hour. I must have missed four or five on the subway because it was so crowded I couldn’t get over to them. Here is the march of the Crocs! (Sure most are cheap, Chinese knock-offs but it’s the idea that counts)

The entire modern dance troupe wears Crocs!

As for the modern dance show, it was amazing. I think CU should invite the team over for a performance. It was absolutely incredible. I saw the same dance team in New York when I was working there, so they do travel. Just throwing it out there.
