Last night was a super awesome block party thrown by my friends Thomas and Jenni’s neighbors, in Fremont/Wallingford. These neighbors are, first of all, super cool, and I’m super jealous that I don’t get to live in their neighborhood. BUT I got to join in the fun anyway.  There was local beer, hot dogs and veggie burgers, sodas and live music. I missed the first band (artist?) but saw the 2nd and 3rd acts. They were both really good – but the last band, the Hong Kong Tailors, played a billion different instruments (including my favorites: banjo and accordion) and they were funny and nice to boot. I hope they make it big.

This street is about half a mile from where I grew up in Wallingford, and it’s full of really fun creative arty young couples and families, and I miss it a ton. Wallingford, some day I’ll come back to you. I promise.
