City Overheard at Capitol Hill Block Party
FRIDAY NIGHT—
Event Patron 1 (watching Band of Horses): “Do you like this band?”
Event Patron 2: “Oh, I love them!”
Event Patron 1: “The singer’s got kind of a muppet mouth.”
Event Patron 2: “Yeah, his funny mouth is one of my favorite things about the band.”
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT—
Spencer Moody (to cop): “Why are you being so mean?”
I thought Block Parties were supposed to enliven the street and create community. The Capitol Hill Block Party was like a Mini-Gated Community; to me it felt like the antithesis of the whole 'feel' of the hill. I hated it.
