A year ago today David and I drove up from NYC to find an apartment here in Cambridge. (That was the deal we made when we decided I would go to grad school at Sarah Lawrence. We agreed to move back to Cambridge when I was done.)

We looked at four apartments, but while we were waiting for the rental agent to arrive and show us the apartment where we currently live a parade went by. And it wasn't like boy scouts and shriners--it was the Leftist Marching Band, Bikes Not Bombs, and a lot of crazy looking marching bands in drag. We thought it was a good omen. It was.

Today they had HONK! again. No cars, only people on bikes or on foot or on stilts. We walked up to my coffee shop and I took some photos. It was pretty much pure joy and everything I love about this city.





I love this photo and this giant bird puppet was very cool:



I should have taken some video because these hula hoop girls were awesome:

They gave us monies. See?
