pre-Bastille Day time travel!

[rm]

Smith Street becomes a true Parisian Thoroughfare once a year, and it is blocked off and covered with 10 tons of sand for the world's largest Petanque tournament, (the French spin on Bocce). Piping-hot Merguez, ice-cold Stella Artois on tap and plenty of Ricard annisette are the staples. And for you dancers, the street becomes so slick next to the pomme frites stand that it becomes just as good as any waxed parquet dance floor .

All this and the exquisite sounds of the Dreamland Orchestra. We recommend dressing to beat the sun; straw hats and sunblock are the perfect accoutrements for this day.

May I just note:

- I'm a menace at bocce, and therefore assume I can kick some ass at petanque.
- Ah, Smith Street. That was another life.
- French stuff. Hahahaha, awesome.

Who's coming?

Yes, Patty and I will be at all of it too. I'm just waiting on paying for my tickets until I find out if I'm modeling in it, in which case, my pocketbook will be very happy. We definitely have acquaintances in common, so it will be nice to finally meet!

Hooray! I'm glad Patty will be back - I want to meet her too, after all your burbling :)

Oh, I am so excited.... I have to get some skirts soon. I tend to cobble everything together - don't sew, know what I mean? I'm about half cobbled right now...

And I need some kind of anachronism icon.... but that is neither (ha) here nor there.
