    I know, Pixcat! I read the headline and I was like, “Wait! I went to the first one last weekend!”

    Love the street fairs … even though the socks have disappeared … 🙂

    I’ve been at home for hours, listening to the inane automated commercials blaring from the street fair under my window.

    When do these effing street fairs end (time of day)?
