World's Largest Block Party

We headed out to the World's Largest Block Party last night; it's a fundraiser for Old St. Pat's Church. Two of our favorite bands were playing: Ben Kweller and Rusted Root.

Ben Kweller was on first, about 30 minutes after we rolled into town. It was disappointing how many people were there, but maybe only 100-200 were actually watching and listening to him play. He was great though, we're going to try to go when he comes in September.

After Ben, we decided we needed to get some new food to replace the nasty nachos we had purchased. Below, the "bucket of fries" that included nacho cheese, jalapenos and bacon; it was delicious!

Rusted Root was awesome. We had a great time listening to them, but decided to leave early because of my experience there last year (ended up walking about 3 miles home).

So, we went looking for a cab. Quite a few other people decided to go looking for a cab at the same time. After many false positives and a lot of cursing at people that ran in front of us, a limo driver pulled over and asked where we were going.

This is where the night takes a turn for the less-enjoyable. We got in the limo and headed for home.... (to be continued)
