Hey babes, come a little closer, I have some information you might find useful. There’s a place between SW 4th, 5th, Couch and Davis where you can go for completely free of charge to pick up a few thrills. Whatever poison fits your palate, they’ve got it. If you’re jonesin for a jolt, you can pick up some action starting at noon, Saturday, August 28 for the Second Annual Old Town Block Party. The party won’t be shut down till 10 p.m.
A cornucopia of delectable dishes can be acquired from local food carts mongering their eatables that might just pair perfectly with a (readily available) icy cold beer. The musical line-up is far beyond copacetic, featuring Deelay Ceelay, The Joggers, Mean Jeans and Lovers outside of DJs manning the faders all the live-long day. Ace Hotel will be featuring a rummage sale that just might yield the perfect artifact you were searching for all summer. And while you might start to feel like all this stimulation is border-line hedonistic indulgement, the whole block party is to benefit a list of local charities, including Sisters of the Road, Transition Projects, P:ear and Rosehaven. Live guilt free!
If you happened to attend last year, this year promises to be an even bigger and better way than before to close out that golden month of August (which is more like the month that summer began).
