Section 3

This weekend, I got to be in the popular crowd. We sat in the "cool" bleachers at the air races--Section 3. Who would think that an air race would have a cool place to sit, but this one did. My cousin, a veteran of the race crowd, introduced us to Section 3. He had learned his first year in attendance where you needed to sit. In fact, he and his fiancee were wearing special, construction orange, Section 3 shirts that many in our area seemed to wearing. We were surrounded by airhorns and bull horns and sat amidst a festive sea of orange. There was one guy on the bull horn who kept making funny comments as people walked by. Like, "Lady, did you lose something?" while holding up an enormous pair of Section 3 labeled granny panties. The pilots also paid special attention to our area, occassionally stopping after their show or race to wave an orange flag at us or salute us. It was quite an experience. Almost like being at a crazy Florida State football game again. If only I had purchased a orange sweatshirt to prove that I too was cool, at least for the day.
