a wednesday evening on the island of brooklyn
Some of our crew spent last Wednesday night at the outdoor Feist show in Prospect Park. Well, actually, we spent the evening outside of the show, as we always do. It's much less crowded, got more room for bocce and wine is (sort of) permissible. It did pour on us for a while, but we waited it out, huddled on umbrellas.
This shot is from my cameraphone and somehow the low resolution, low light and rain make it a perfect pointillist homage to Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.

urban bocce (.com!)
Fall means it's time for another Urban Bocce Tourney. This time, it was held at Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn and on the beach in Far Rockaway, Queens.
Tim and I came into the finals with a buy as the top seeded team, only to loose to the Super Mario Brothers inspired team called Power Up... heartbreaking.
Congrats to Adam and Daz who finally got to kiss the trophy after so many tournaments.

good show
We had some great show karma yesterday: were able to avoid the long line on the way in, got a free round of Brooklyn lagers, got seats to sit and watch the massive dodgeball tournament (left) while the music (ted leo, center) started, and then were able to walk up to almost the front row (tim, right) along the side of the stage. A very good day at McCarren pool.

on your doorstep
Brooklyn has a bunch of old fashioned businesses that still survive, like the knife sharpener that drives around in a truck with a bell, just like the ice cream man. This seltzer and soda truck is often parked in front of our house in the mornings, with bottles piled high.
