So I look out my window this afternoon, and discover that someone has barricaded the street. Not only that, but they're currently in the process of building a crude stage out of palettes and plywood, and talking about bringing in a band and a keg.



Impromptu street party? Dunno. Now you know as much as I do. I thought the shopping cart was a nice touch, though. And the purple balloon taped to a lamp post makes the street feel almost festive.



Hours later, I was amazed that this Doors cover band was still going. They demonstrated amazing endurance and an unflagging capacity to repeat the same few songs to fill the time.
