Tonight was the 9th annual party of our one-block-long street. Each of our parties has been a big success. It helps to live on a block full of foodies, where hardly anyone ever moves away. The offerings tonight were perfect. And sitting around the firepit into the wee hours was so campy, especially when we all warmed our bare feet. We are keenly aware of how sacred this event is. If you have even a small organizing gene, good neighbors, and someone with an invitingly shaped driveway, I say go for it! We start at around 5 on a Saturday, and it has gone as late as 2AM. Our first party took a good bit of organizing and effort. Sinde then, it takes only minimal volunteer time for a few people each year. It is code to bring a dish that is homemade and known to be a crowd pleaser. Somewhere, under the radar...
