This is one of those times when Deadheads and science fiction fans converge, at least in their fashion choices. This literate lady wears an outfit that could easily fit into a Deadshow parking lot or dance hall. She's got the beaded hair ornaments, a fluffy boa neckpiece, long fringes, "palazzo" baggy pants, and flat sandals. Well, it is California after all. But there are some major differences, the most important being, she's READING. Now it's not that Deadheads don't read, they just don't read AT A SHOW. This gal is sitting with her book waiting for a program item to begin. Fans will read anywhere. At conventions I often see fans reading in the middle of the crowded lobby with people swirling all around them, sometimes wearing wild costumes. Nowadays the book is replaced with a smartphone (on which they are probably reading.). Drawn at the Anaheim Convention Center.
