Interesting revision of the vendor/sponsor mix. (I picked up a purple water bottle.) Might be an even higher smoker/non-smoker population this year. Maybe I should set up an earplugs concession.

Pita House had a l-o-n-g line for food, and more lines for the restrooms. Ain't no way to make those "customers only."

Parsley's was doing some preliminary promotions.

Hey, why no beer tent?

I listened to the blues for a few minutes then plopped down @ Mojo's for the dueling pianos.

I was kind of surprised when my ~40 bicyclists on PedalGR rolled down Louis St and it wasn't blocked off. That was always a good place to regroup without blocking traffic before we headed off elsewhere.
