If I ignore them, maybe they'll go away?

Probably my favorite encountered reaction to Monday's crankie escapade:

Anda and I went up to the window of a study room in Rolvaag and stood there (crankies at the ready) until noticed. When the poor guy in there finally glanced at us, he panicked and immediately turned his full attention back to his web browser (facebook open, not academics, I might note) as if to pretend that he hadn't noticed us. He sat there resolutely ignoring us until we tapped on the glass and he was forced to watch our crankies. It was absolutely beautiful.

As for traveling with Anda, it was a joy to watch the reactions of interactees as she showed them her work: a series of funny image responses to certain words. Some were initially bemused, but almost everyone wound up laughing as they got it, and the reactions were positive. Despite some technical difficulties at the beginning that required some Dr. Irve reparations, I would say her crankie performance was all in all a success
