Block Party Weekend

I went to a couple of block parties this weekend, and the Mano a Mano Kermesse as well. Had a very nice time! My favorite time was the block party on Asbury, they had pinata's all sorts of food. The best was the Filipino bbq shish-ka-bobs...darn that was good!

I helped get the candy frenzy underway with a few ritual swats at the pinata before the kids got down to some serious beating on the "star".

Best story of the day was the lady who had to use my name on her citizenship test! Apparently one of the questions is who is your Mayor? So she was all excited to meet me! I had no idea they ask questions like that...but it makes sense, you do want new citizens to be aware of local issues!
