They were testing the loud speaker last night. It’s loud. Really loud.
I walked through the booths in the quiet of the morning. Most are just made of plywood and 2x4s and smell of fresh sawdust. I had feared “Drown the Clown” was the dunking booth with the painted insult artist, but it appears to be the squirt-gun balloon game.
The statue procession is at 2PM on Satuday and might be fun to watch from my window with a Mint Julep in hand in between college football games. Join me.
I’m excited for the food and the street beer, but I think the noise may drive me to stay on Bleecker Street with Ildi. It’s a sad day when the drunken NYU kids of the West Village are considered the quiet option.

– Aaron’s pics from Erik’s Bachelor Party in AC. No cameras allowed in the casinos or strip clubs, so they can only be so interesting.
