It's beginning to look a lot like Art Fair
"Jewelry is out in booths," said a co-worker at TPTIBLOT, "Paintings are hanging on canvas walls. It's going to start pouring any second."
The scene is set and the weather has taken its annual sudden mid-July turn for the worse. Art Fair, annual second scourge of Annarborites*, has indeed arrived. For the next four days, Ann Arbor will be crawling with insane tourists from out of town who like to waste money on hand-woven caftans, wooden flamingoes wearing shoes, and bright pink paintings of nothing with little bits of things glued to them.
I will, like all of the other Annarborites, make grumbling excursions into the madness. "Might as well get out there, since we can't drive anywhere," say the Annarborites, secretly liking the opportunity to people-watch and buy things at sidewalk sales. I will buy greasy, overpriced food on the Union's courtyard and laugh at people who actually buy things from the fair.
Art Fair would be a lot more fun without all the art.

There are po-pos all over, just waiting to pull over out-of-towners. I saw them get two, and then there was one without a victim.
