At Dally in the Alley 2026, I found a small, unopened bag of Better Made potato chips on the ground not long after arriving to the dance area where they were playing techno music. I asked a guy behind me if he wanted it and he said no, so I decided it was my fate to hold it for the rest of the night. I danced with it in my hand for hours. No one said anything. Eventually it became late and I was a bit drunk and had to ride my bike about forty minutes still, so I put the chips into my mini backpack and headed home.
I still have the chips. Dancing with them represented dedication, love for this city, and having OCD and occasionally becoming fixated on something for no good reason. It is not the first time I have found something on the ground and carried it around with me for hours.
