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?

Block parties rock. I remember having them almost every year on the street I grew up on. Sadly our place in Porter Square is at the intersection of a main street and a frequently used cut-through so it might be a bigger issue traffic wise than a side street.

Are there any side streets near you that you could try to work together with? Your street might not be easy to close but maybe something that intersects your street is.
