Rain, rain, go away
May 05, 2008
I headed out the the Festival of Murals (page 12 in case you’re following along) on Saturday afternoon, but the rain got there first. When I showed up, vendors were already taking their booths down for fear of the rain. I heard from several people earlier that they checked it out and had a good time. The food was still there, and I was starving, so I grabbed a corndog from the Corn Dog Man. As Kena and I were waiting for a funnel cake for her main man Jim, the sky opened up and dumped a whole lotta rain on the two of us. Boo hoo. On the bright side, I had my one corndog of the year. It was pretty awesome. Here’s Debbie Ingram’s story on the festival: Festival of Murals
After Kena dropped me off, I headed over to Vino Vino (page 17) to check it out. My friend Tim was helping out in the store today, and I hadn’t been to its new location. They’ve got a ton of neat gifts and other things for sale: cookbooks, gourmet food mixes, painted wine glasses, serving plates and utensils, funky magnets, and I can’t forget the tons of wine. I stared at the truffles in the case for so long that I finally gave in and bought four. the were huge and so decadent. I still have two hiding out in my fridge.
The weather was too yucky for me to go to the chitlin festival ... not that I really was excited about it. Guts are not for me.
I didn’t make it that night, but Erin Hitt from our copy desk went to the media basketball game. She said it was a hoot. Here’s a picture from the event:
