art fair finds

no, this has nothing to do w/ "s..t on sticks" or some lovely baubles or cutting edge art - i'm talkin' running shoes! after our run this a.m., the AARS (minus aa) cleaned up at tortoise and the hare. p and i both picked up TWO pairs of shoes, while e and k showed some restraint and just got 1 pair. however, at a mere $30/pair, i don't feel too guilty. and it's good we went right when they opened - even at 9a the crowds were already in full force.

for all those readers (all 4 of you) who have never been to AA art fair (described once as "neither art nor fair"), it's quite an event. you have the pros - sidwalk sales, kettle corn, lots of interesting art - and the cons - lots and lots of ppl, streets shut down making it difficult/impossible to get around, trashy over-priced crap. the high temps and humidity don't help, but it's still a fun and interesting event...maybe i'm saying that since i won't be here for most of it?
