Just before the end of my Zodiac Year – the Rabbit Year – I dressed as a rabbit and ran around telling people fun facts about Rabbit Year and the people born within it. Reading from a furry, printed script, I would offer superstitions like “people who are born in Rabbit Year, lucky numbers are 3, 6, 9 and direction of East,” and in exchange, I provided a red sharpie and let people draw a bunny on me.
