We ventured down to the street fair today to check out the misguided crafts, and to hear some very good music.

Wouldn't be a street fair without some knitters and crocheters selling their wares, would it? These hats were pretty simple, and crocheted, but made with some handspun alpaca that was very soft - go ahead, feel it on your screen.

There were a few other vendors with knit and crochet items, but I cannot in good conscience post the pictures John took of them. Women, take heed: block your garments! And weave in the ends! There were ends hanging out all over the town today.





But especially exciting was the band line-up for the afternoon: Glen Mercer from the Feelies, Health and Happiness Show and the Bongos, below.

I had to kiss so many former Hobokeners at this show that I had to run into a store to buy a new Chapstick.
