It seems like people are making a habit of having street parties in my neighbourhood. A couple of weeks ago, it was a Doors cover band in front of my building. Today, only a couple of blocks away, The Black Eye Peas are doing a public concert in the street. As I understand it, it's to celebrate the grand opening of a new Best Buy store. I guess The Black Eye Peas really get excited over big box stores, and spontaneously organized all their friends to par-tay.

Am I totally un-hip for admitting that I don't know who The Black Eyed Peas are? I honestly don't know. Today anyway, for me, they're the guys who turned the neighbourhood into a zoo of screaming teens and traffic cops. Well, it was actually the teens who were doing most of the screaming.

Seriously... the buildings echo with the sound of "woooooo" and "eeeeeee" and all those things that one says to musicians that one really likes. I think I'll put on my favourite CD, crank up the stereo, and party like it's 1991. Hm. Yeah, even for un-hip guys, I'm pretty un-hip.
