Don't go.

If you must go, don't go today.

If you must go and it has to be today, bring lots of patience and a high tolerance for thick crowds. Be cautious in the parking lots. Once inside (don't go) cultivate the fine art of flowing with the crowds, duck and weave when necessary.

It is a bee hive, actively buzzing.

It is a circus, with 100 rings all going at once.

It is a sanitized marketplace, overflowing.

It is the mall, the Day After.
