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.

the Tuesday night dinner was enjoyable last year. I'd be up for doing
it again.
As for during the fairs: Most of my day will be spent working the
parking lot at Angell Elementary School. I will be at the CTN booth
(somewhere in front of Burton Tower ... no longer in front of the
Liberty St. Post Office) for a few hours on Thursday afternoon.
Music: If I can find out when/where/if George Bedard is playing, I'll
try to show up there. I'm also going to try and catch Psychaetropia.
(haven't heard them, but I've got a friend in the band ... not sure of
times, but I believe they'll be playing from the front porch of a local
business)

Re:#16, These days it's just Mr. Largebeat, with mostly a new line-up.
Just started playing again this year after a four-year hiatus.

Tuesday sounds great. I'll see if I can get there with my latest
inspirational playthings. Any suggestions for the restaurant?

What does an "extra art fair" mean? Are they expanding? (I'm a bit
out of the loop, you see.

There has been some drama between the South University fair and the local
merchants, such that thisyear the original South U fair is moving and the
local merchants are putting on their own fair. In recent years there has been
a smaller merchant-sponsored fair on one of the side streets.

this is the third or fourth year for the new fair, though it's greatly
expanded this year. In past years, it's just been the portion of Church St
below South U and was called "Art Fair Village". This year, the Original
Street Art Fair moves to the other side of campus, so the new one is expanding
to the whole of the South U fair area, and changing it's name to (i think)
"Ann Arbor's South University Art Fair" or something, although I still think
of The Original as the south U fair.

Local merchants do, which is why I know a bit about the South U one. The
problem is that the fair on South U didn't bring in any money for the South
U merchants association, unlike the State St and Main St ones and their
associations. That's why South U doesn't get extra police patrols, and thus
has the gang banger problem the other areas lack -- they couldn't pay for
extra coverage. So the South U merchants ousted the existing fair and decided
to start their own.

The distinctions between Art Fairs are pretty much irrelevant, even for the
interested patron. That doesn't stop the Ann Arbor News from following the
soap opera like the Paparazzi chasing after Princess Diana, though.
