Jazz Age Picnic (and a turkey)

[rm]

Today was the Jazz Age PIcnic on Governors Island.

Things of note included a wild turkey wandering around Wall Street, a new section of the island being opened (which led to me loudly shrieking and laughing about being dressed like Jack Harkness and almost falling out of a hammock, repeatedly), a city employee that will be the subject of a nasty phone call I make to 311 and, of course, PURE AWESOMENESS. Photos below. Turkey included.

Wild turkey on Wall Street!




picnic carnage




This girl's dress had a habit of giving us a very good view of her very nice ass. I didn't take pictures of that indiscretion though.




boys dancing!




I just love this photo to pieces. LIttle boy, laughing parent and tuba!




We're really into each other.




flowers!




a newly opened part of the island




driftwood drifting




Patty with fake roses




seagull!




I'm vain, but my reaction is not normally, "yeah, I'd do me," but yeah, I would. Love this photo. Yay Patty.




Hammock! I was really bad at this and laughing like an idiot. Patty thinks this looks like she is eating my brains.




I live in the greatest city in the world AND I get to go home with her.

Oooooh. Looks like a brilliant day; I should visit NYC one day, to see if it's really better than London. @:)

Thanks for sharing these photos - they brought a bit of sunshine into a quite drab day down here!

Awesome happy photos!

Yay for pictures! The two of you are so awesome together! Looks like a very fun event, too. And yay for surprise!turkey! I occasionally see small flocks of wild turkeys as I drive through one of the neighboring towns. It's always kind of weird to spot them, like they're out of uniform or something.

Pure awesomeness, indeed :-)

That hammock photo is just so sweet.

Oh yayfun!

And agreed with all, these are some wonderful photos. Arty and adorable and generally yay.

(Shame about the douchey Parks employee, but that sounds like the one cloud on the shiny day.)

The red stockings are wonderful. And a wild turkey on Wall Street seems like a crazy liquor ad.

According to a friend who works on Wall Street, the place is just overrun with turkeys.
(I may not have perfectly understood.)

Hi there.
I came flying in here because I saw on The Sartorialist that it's time for this party again!
I first heard word of it last year (or the year before?) when I was flist-browsing my own f-list and I remember your pics and descriptions and though... "how whimsy!"

Thanks for these pictures, dearie.
Is that party open-invite?

It's a public event -- last year it was free, but due to loss of state funding it was $5 each day this year. They raised enough money at the one just past to do it again in September (I think the second weekend, I'm not sure as I suspect it's a weekend I'm traveling).

Michael Aranella, who's band plays this things, always has event updates on his site: http://www.dreamlandorchestra.com/calendar.php

1. You DO look totally fuckable. Patty is mucho lucky (so are you!)

2. NYC is pretty fucking badass. There are times I long to move back (when the big festivals, carnivals, etc happen) but then I remember the parts I hated (lived in a bad neighborhood, never could get any peace, etc) and I'm glad I decided on NJ. Not too far, not too close. :D
