Dewey Street Block Party

Today was the 15th - or - so Dewey Street block party. Apparently it was started by a couple who enjoyed friends and dogs, so they organized this event to bring those two things together. It has now just evolved in to the whole street bringing out food and drinks (one house hosted the kegs) and just enjoy the evening. The local Edgewood police come and block off the street. It was quite the event and a lot of fun Over the evening there were around 15 or so houses that were represented. Larry (my roommate) was sure to get me going meeting everyone.


Dewey Street: with people.

People who I met:
- An English man who is the principal at a local school
- A very nice older lady who knew where and what Gonzaga is. (I am going over to her house during basketball season to watch the games)
- A Indian (country, not Native) Anesthesiologist
- Larry's Mother, who is awesome
- A German fellow who is apparently the Assistant Dean of the Computer Science department at Carnegie
- Some girl who talked to me about my shirt (Flogging Molly)
- A Podiatrist who only talked to me about Seattle Grunge after I mentioned I was from Washington
- And other various mothers and their children.
