Concert in the Park
What can be better than a music concert in a lovely park on a warm summer midweek evening? Every week this couple of months, there will be a concert at a park in my hood. And we decided we’d go at the last minute. After hunting around for almost 15 mins for a parking spot, and thinking aloud about having just walked to the park instead of driving, for the 20th odd time, we managed to find a place.
The park seemed pretty crowded and there were so many children! After finding ourselves a nice spot behind a pretty girl with her dog, I left hubbs to enjoy the view and went off with my camera to another corner. The music was unimpressive. There is no other way to describe it…it was African Rhythms and it was no different from any other African music I have heard. But the crowd went along and danced a bit and showed appreciation for the artists.
It was fun though to watch the kids and adults play and dance. The dogs were all happily wagging tails and begging to be let loose to play with the other dogs. There were a couple of tents under which hotdogs and cheesy unappetizing Papa John’s Pizza were being grilled. Papa’s and Mama’s chased little ‘uns and tossed them up in the air, tickled them silly and threw Frisbees and balls. There were many people sprawled on the grass and some people sitting in camping chairs. I never understood why people don’t sit on the grass…its so much more fun than sitting in a camping chair!!
And somewhere along the edge, Void hung out with his little nephew, watching me and hubbs from afar. After much deliberation and a careful assessment of Hubb’s arms, he decided to ‘A’void us and just spy on us instead. After I was done taking pictures, we got bored and walked back to the parking lot talking animatedly about some thing. We passed a couple of desi guys with orange shirts, wonder if void was one of them…
Of course, all this happened last week and Void is absconding since the confrontation and the gentle suggestion of a friendly nudge by way of using my foot against his backside…or an elbow in the ribs perhaps!!
Oh well, Void or ‘A’void…he is The Void!! Welcome to Seattle Buddy!! [Sadly taking down banners and decorations from the party hall]
The pictures are here...enjoy!!!
