If you are anything like me, you’re probably just recovering from Bele Chere. The madness is over and the people are gone, but the memories of that Krispy Kreme burger still haunt me.
Let’s take a walk down memory lane past some of our favorite things about last weekend…
…the crowds of people..
…the preachers and the protesters…
…the refreshing snacks and luxurious facilities…
…the random flashmobs…
…the hugs and the dancing..
…the brave flying air dogs…
…and a few less brave ones…
…playing whiffle ball in the middle of a crowd…
…great local acts like Paper Tiger…
…RBTS WIN…
…Kovacs & the Polar Bear (playing La Bamba)…
…and not-so-local acts like Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers…
…Rebirth Brass Band.
So long, Bele Chere. We look forward to love/hating you next year.
Thanks for reading through to the end…
