block parties

[elements.livejournal.com]

Earlier this evening I went to a block party on Boston Ave, and had a great time. I'm curious if any of the new folks I met there are also LJ users/davis_square-ers....

Also, I'm curious what other streets/neighborhoods do block parties. I'm really liking this whole "actually getting to meet your neighbors" concept. If I had a few co-conspirators, I'd like to try planning one for the Willow/Mallet/Lowden area sometime (probably late Spring).

I hope to be at the RedBones block party tomorrow evening (6-8 pm), maybe see some of you all there?

It was Suzanne Bremer, the progressive candidate. My wife and I talked with her for quite a while and she was passionate about government transparency, public transit, smart development, affordable housing.

Fred Berman, who's running for alderman at large, was also there. We had a pretty fascinating discussion about zoning. He was involved in the negotiations for the Assembly Square development.

I also saw Denise Provost (state rep) and Bill White (alderman) there, and Sean O'Donovan (current ward 5 alderman). I'm told Joe Lynch (ward 5 challenger) was also there but I missed him.

Did I meet you there? I don't have a self-pic icon but let's see, I was the one who introduced myelf as an impostor to the party cos I'm neither Boston nor Pritchard. I got there late, probably nearing 6. Short chubby gal with short brown hair.
