August Updates #2 - Ann Arbor Art Fair

The annual trip to the Ann Arbor Art Fair was fun! A zillion booths, some good art (though way-too-high crafts-to-art ratio, as always) and a mix of odd things too. Way too many people this year! We also stopped in some of the main street shops, and ice cream at the South Bend Chocolate Company, built into an old house on Main Street, is always a treat. We also bought an adorable bunny pic - I'll have to take a snapshot and post it later.

Diana and Amy and I took advantage of the opportunity to dine (twice, since we went both Friday night and Saturday afternoon) at the wonderful Seva Restaurant. If you've never been there, you should do something about that a.s.a.p.

We also stopped by Wizzywig, where we saw many strange things (not unusual, though one poster stood out - click, as always, for a larger image in a new window).

Our Art Fair experience was not without incident ... Amy was injured when a huge hole opened up suddenly in the pavement of the sidewalk near the parking structure, and swallowed her whole ... I won't post the gruesome photographs, you'll just have to imagine the carnage yourself. Paramedics just happened to be on the scene fixing up someone else (true!), and when they finished handling the emergency, patched Amy up well. Her knee & leg & arm took a good week to heal, but true to her gracious nature, she did NOT sue the city for the millions in damages to which she was entitled.
