Haven't been taking advantage of eating at all the food trucks parked around my neighborhood, but I did make a point of trying a sandwich from Turkey To Go. It was simple -- just pulled turkey on a plain hamburger bun, but somehow it was pretty sumptuous.
Checked out 1,001 Chairs at the Walker and saw chairs of all sizes and shapes set up outside on their patio on the corner of Groveland and Hennepin. The official name of the event was 1001 Chairs: An Observance in Honor of Silenced Voices. And when I say all sizes, I mean it. There were some Duplo-person sized chairs out along with the human-sized ones that people donated.
Saturday was an all-day affair. Found myself at the sculpture garden again, on one of the most hot and humid days of the year. This time I was there to dance. Good timing, right?
Thank goodness an ice cream truck came by (got a massive Bomb Pop, ran into cwethern chewing on a Ninja Turtle).
After that Bunny and I headed over to Joe's Garage. There was talk of a celebrity showing up there. Sure enough, lights and cameras were being set up in a back room. Then they wheeled in the woodchipper. That's right. Celebrities don't necessarily have to be people, just a noun. I consider the Empire State Building to be a celebrity, for instance. And an actual prop button can even be elevated to some minor celebrity notoriety. And on Saturday night Bunny and I got our photo with the Eager Beaver woodchipper that had a pretty memorable cameo in the Coen brothers movie Fargo.
Loving the hot weather, by the way. Reminds me of when I lived in New Orleans and of telling people who complained about the humidity there that it gets much worse in Minnesota.
Have a drink and remember all those snow emergencies we had last winter.
Have one helluva week, Chester.
