Witch Hunt Banquet Street Photography

I “run” this sports prognostication game at work known colloquially as “The Witch Hunt”. I would explain why it is called the Witch Hunt and the mythology of the game, but that would involve a fair amount of work and if you aren’t in the Witch Hunt, you don’t deserve to know.

I bring it up because at the end of the Witch Hunt we have a banquet where we tell tall tales of the battles past and coronate that year’s Witch and present them with the travelling trophy. This banquet is always at Zeno’s in Marshalltown. This year the banquet was a little light. Many of the witch hunters are sociopaths* and never show up. But this year many of the regulars came up with weak ass excuses. Elizabeth was “sick”. Likely story. Micky went to see a hillbilly in concert. Just kidding a hillbilly would be worth seeing in concert. He went to see a pretend cowboy in concert. The Clevengers ghosted. Jesse claimed he loved his family more than pizza. All of the a collection of hooligans and bad people. However I showed up. And the good people showed up. The Haupts. Cathie. Jordan and Jonah. Hopefully those that made the sin of shaft-ation (The second greatest sin after pride.) will make amends for their biggest failing of 2024.

I got to Marshalltown a bit early so I could go to their records store and do some light street photography. These are those pictures:

I need to make this place into a future food adventure. Allegedly the best Maid-Rites in the world.

It was a great banquet and I’m looking forward to it again already. Hopefully only the real ones show up again.

*I define sociopath my the medical definition, which is “doesn’t love pizza”.
