The annual Ann Arbor Art Fairs start next week (July 16-19). Does anyone
plan to check them out or do you plan to leave town during that time?

I may visit the Art Fair to check out a friend's band. I'll be playing
with the Mr. Largebeat band on Sat. July 19 at 3:00 pm at Liberty Plaza.

I won't be leaving the area, but I don't have any specific plans to attend.

I'm on vacation, for two weeks, starting this weekend. I'll be
at the Fair each day. I love it. Great fun.

My office is in the midst of the Art Fairs, and I will be working that
week.

I'll be getting back from vacation on Wednesday evening, and I'll end up
biking down at least once or twice. Mostly for the people-watching.

I hide inside my house except for when I am at school. The car gets parked
in front of the house on Tuesday night and doesn't get moved until it is all
over. We live on South U near Washtenaw and have no driveway. I may walk
down with STeve for a couple of hours for one day. Other than some of the
music and the fun of the food court, the Art Fairs hold little interest for
me. And I am uncomfortable in crowds.

My son would like to go. We'll be there at least one evening during
the week.
I just asked for the day off next Friday. We'll be there then.

I'll go. The bus lets me off right in the middle of it all. :-) And my
favorite (one, the only one left) vendor is close by, so I'll have to check
her out.

We go for a little while to look at people but I can't take the smoke for
long.

Should we have the traditional Tuesday night Grex dinner
gathering at a downtown restaurant?

We once bought a ceramic lamp at an Art Fair - years ago. Still works, too
(if supplied with bulbs). Now we have a daughter that is an art major, and
have no lack of art. Wouldn't dare buy any art at a Fair.

I might go on Friday but if the weather is really nice, I'll probably
go to the lake instead.

I'll probably be working one of the non-profit booths at least one day. So
I should be able to visit the new location. I may see other stuff, too.
Jeremy Kittel will be fiddling on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, I hear.

I found it in a brochure that was delivered in the mail a few days back.
I've not looked for on line, though.

I'll be right in the thick of it. In addition to my 'regular' job at the UGLi
right on campus, i'm volunteering at information booths in the State Street
and Street ('Original', formerly 'South U', now North U/Washington area)
Fairs.
I'd be up for dinner Tuesday except I'm not exactly swimming in cash at the
moment. <suddenly remembers the largish check coming from SummerFest shortly
(hey, it's more money than *i've* ever made in two days before. . . .)>
yeah, i should be able to be there.
