more police action

last weekend, finally warm again. i've been hitting-and-missing for a few weeks due to lousy weather, all thanks to a bit of technology i'll tell about later.

but this last one was nice. the people came back in droves, bigness cartside.

the police were also there. On saturday, for a good half hour to 45 minutes (about 3-3:30) they boxed in the crowd around the cart with two paddy wagons:

no real reason for it -- just harrassing us. I don't even think they were really trying to get us to quiet down.

a guy passed me an almost empty beer, offering me a tip if i threw it out for him. I would have done it anyway.

the cop spotted the hand-off, though. started questioning the guy. asked me. I said someone put it on the counter, I threw it out. "just doing my job, didn't see who." they pretty much left it at that. the guy thanked me later.

it didn't drive the people away, though. the lights were flashing -- I guess it was kinda our own disco.

this coming weeked is supposed to be colder again. I also have my first catering gig as the Red Chef -- a CD release party at the 169 Bar.
