Well I was all busy today at the F.S.S.F.
The Fucking Stupid Street Fair.
They had the Court St. Fair today and I postponed my two year anniversary party for the store till next week. I rented the space right in front of the store because you don't want a guy barbecuing pigs feet right in front of your store and letting the smell permeate your clothes.
It was pissing down rain so the whole thing was a washout but it was still a pain in the ass. People come in and want to use the bathroom when they aren't customers. I mean please. You live in the fucking neighborhood so just go home. So you walk two blocks enough already.
Then people want to walk into the store carrying food so they can slop it on all the clothes. "No food losers can't you read the fucking signs."
You see none of the people atrachted by a street fair are really going to be customers of the actual stores on Court St. They only hit the stands of the vendors who only go from street fair to street fair. The Mexicans selling corn on the cob or corn bread grilled cheese sandwiches. The guineas selling sausage and pepper hero's or calzones. The Jamaican dude selling the jerked chicken and french fries. The guy with the phony sham wow. The dude with the big rack of spices in the giant plastic bottles right in front of the new gourmet store. It is basically a fiasco.
Thank God it is over until next year.

I love street fairs but I feel for you troop.
All that food and all those dirty hands all over your fabulous clothes and store.
All very wrong.
I'm sorry you had to deal with that shit.
street fairs basically suck
there was this big may festival
in harvard square today
mom here at the house
who is french as you know
says why don t we have may day
off in this country and make
a proper 3 day weekend
or maybe go on strike like in france
she was unhappy because they had
this shindig on sunday when anyone can
park in our permit space and when she
got back anyone had so when they left
she moved the honda back to her space
and said that s the last time she s driving
anywhere on sunday such is the no 1
problem of life in cambridge
but thank god nobody wanted
to use the bathroom as at lee lee s in n y c
dad s old czech buddy came over and was
happy to have a beer but less happy
to be reminded of may day having had to
show up in parades and rallies to listen to
boring commies drone on for hours
when he was a teenager and could be
fucking his girlfriend instead
mom had the option in france of
playing at may day and letting
them eat cake too
which reminds me i think i'll go
and check out that brioche
mom stashed in the bread drawer
the above being cross posted w/editorial
improvements from althouse who seems
to be having a thing for outdorsy types lately
which does me no good hiding here
under the fridge
Hey, since when can Jamaicans jerk their chickens at a street fair?
