Are you sure that the Polk Street Festival is on Septemeber 20th and 21st? That’s a Monday and Tuesday. Surely those are silly days to have a festival! Who on earth are they expecting to be able to show up? Retired folk, Homeless folk, Unemployed folk? Who on earth will be able to come to their festival? Are we expected to take off work to go? Please tell me this was a typo 🙂
Cheers!

LOL.. Too funny.. I poked around a little more and found a site saying the Polk Street Fair is on the 3rd weekend in September which, this year, would be t he 18th and 19th.. that does make more sense than a monday and tuesday…

good catch! 🙂
