Naomi and I headed downtown this evening to watch Elmer Funk jammin' out in Old Town Square. I was thrilled, and Naomi was mortified, to see 9 teachers and other staff members from her school there. They were, of all things, dancing. *gasp!* My daughter was embarrassed to see grown adults, who she knew and loved in a very different context, bouncing to the beat in public. ;-) We also saw neighbors and friends. I love when I go to an event and end up being surrounded by people I know. It makes me feel like I'm part of a very tangible community.

Elmer Funk kicked off this summer's Thursday Night Live music series, sponsored by Bohemian Nights. Next week the Retro 80's Tribute Band will be playing. I love the free music. The kids love that Ben & Jerry's is just a few steps away when we're there.
