the street fair to end all street fairs
not my words but I'll lead off with them anyway.
The Atlantic Antic is a Brooklyn Institution
The 33rd Annual Atlantic Antic Street Festival will take place on Sunday, September 30th from 10am to 6pm, rain or shine. Spanning 10 blocks of Atlantic avenue, from 4th Avenue in Boerum Hill all the way to Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights, the Atlantic Antic is New York's number one street festival, offering something for everyone:
Enjoy live performances all day long on ten musical stages, featuring blues, rock, country, R&B, jazz, music for kids, and belly-dancing.
Sample food from around the world and street fair favorites including baklava, funnel cake, grilled sardines, pulled pork sandwiches, fresh lemonade, fried mozzarella, and roasted corn.
Shop for the trendiest art, clothing, and home accessories from Atlantic Avenue merchants and a host of local vendors and craftspeople.
Families should take advantage of pony rides, facepainting, balloon sculptures, live storytelling, and more!
if there is really something for everyone why did they not list the fisting booth. aka the Caligula Experience Project. Maybe they are just being coy.
this is what I'm stoked about however:
The New York Transit Museum's 14th Annual Bus Festival will also coincide with the Antic, taking place at the midway point of the festival, on Boerum Place. A collection of vintage buses dating all the way back to 1917 will will be on display and ready to board, and visitors can also enjoy free admission to the museum, one block away on Schermerhorn Street.
If you ask my friend kb, she will tell you that I've been dying to go to the Transit Museum since I moved here. . .six and a half YEARS ago. *wow. this is the longest I've lived anywhere besides my hometown. hmmm. curious.*

Yes, I may have to go. I am taking video of various things in NYC for my upcoming visit to the Mixforts. I am trying to show all the little chil'rens what my home looks like. I have video of the 7 train, Times Square, 82nd Street in Jackson Heights, the park in Chinatown. The street fair would be good material. Also, the Met. I am thinking to go this weekend.
Kb, nyc misses you too but now you have a lot of fresh air and sunshiney mountains. Have you outfitted everyone with mountain bikes yet? I did the most biking of my life when I lived in CO. I miss that.

Krix! You were in my 'hood if you made it out. kb is right. Atlantic Antic rules! Even though I didn't dive in that much this year. And I've heard the Transit Museum is amazing.
