Gasp, Tufty Went Outside: Thursday Night Live on Castro Street

[tuftears]

The previous year that Mountain View has tried doing a 'Thursday Night Live' in the summer, I wasn't able to make it-- their dates fell inconveniently on raid nights. This time raiding wrapped up more or less in time for me to be able to make the last Thursday Night Live. So, photographic proof that I went voluntarily into the Big Bloo Room without dracosphynx pushing me!



It really wasn't as large as I was thinking it would be. Maybe five or six farmers with booths? I picked up a straw of rootbeer-flavored honey from one and on the way back, I picked up a "Hot 'Cot Sauce" from another farmer. (apricot sauce with chilis in it)



Here's the stage. Just one stage, yup. And not a lot of chairs either, maybe enough room for 20 or so people in the main part.



They did have classic cars on display! Here's one. Looks like I took a picture of it before at the Arts & Crafts fair back in the summer but this is a different angle.




Here's a 1948 Chrysler Traveler, fully equipped with a surfboard on top!



I'm not sure if this gentleman was an Elvis impersonator or an enka singer from Japan. He struck some Elvis-like poses while I was walking by.



A few young musicians were busking for bucks here. I chipped in, why not?

There were some booths for various associations. One handed me a flyer that looked interesting; seems like the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts will be having a picnic/outdoors performances next week Saturday. Sounds worthwhile making a trip!

Thanks! Not doing too badly, how about you?

Ooh! Root Beer honey sounds delish.

It wasn't bad, but I'm guessing it's basically regular honey mixed with a bit of flavoring, as opposed to some weird combination of pollen that just happens to taste like rootbeer. :)

So who performed on the stage? :D Congrats on getting outside!

No idea! I wasn't paying much attention to the music/performance. :)
