art beat update... finally

birthday annie
to ease the pain of having to work on my birthday, mother nature shone down upon us on saturday at art beat. honestly, it was hard to believe that it was mid-july. instead, it felt like a spring day with 70 degree temperatures and no humidity. i'll ignore the fact that it was really the most perfect day for golfing.

the best thing was that the stellar weather brought out stellar crowds. not until late in the afternoon was there even a break in the constant stream of people in and out of the tent. we were incredibly impressed with the amount of somerville pride there is out there (not to mention, s'ville merchandise). the town put on a grand show with a kids parade led by a chickenwire dragon and many a colorful jester.
