May. 8th, 2017 12:52 amI had to wait 20 minutes but at least I arrived at Harvard Square early enough to see Noble Dust setting up and performing sound checks. Gretchen and the Pickpockets are also folk with trumpets. Elephants was playing alternative rock at the same time. Aisha Burns is a violinist but didn't play violin there, boo-urns, but she did play really good bluesy rock. I didn't have enough for Lisa Bastoni's album of what I assume is the same somewhat melancholic and yet sweet folk she played at the Mayfair. She sang about how when her daughter was even younger, she was afraid of going in the water but one hot summer's day she went swimming in a stream and sung a song by her friend who lived in Germany for a while but is now back here and making music, and talked about how she's going to take her kids camping and had them in sleeping bags to practice and they were up all night, and said that it's important when singing a song dedicated to your grandmother that your instruments are tuned. I'm sorry to ninja edit that in but it's really good advice.
One of the dances was done to a speech by Malala Yousafzai. One of the dances was by a troupe of 70-79 year old women. Some of them were by students of various ages, some were ballets or interpretative dances. I don't think Albino Mbie was officially part of the Mayfair but he played anyway.
Someone was selling Pakistani jade and malachite and pendants made from the bones of nilgai and skulls made from the horn of nilgai.
Someone looking at the crystals had malachite green hair
For her grand finale, Sara climbed up on a pole supported by four men pulling on it and do a hula dance with five hoops and she was talking about how hard it was with the wind.
I did get Celestis for Ashley, though. Right before I made that excursion to get Celestis, I ran into Immelman and his friend. I also ran into Kitty Zen so I hope I didn't use up all of my allocated serendipity for the rest of the season. There are still many more things to be done.
Out of all the possible days this week, this was the nicest. It could stand to be 17 degrees warmer (listen: a long long time ago, there was a cereal called Fruit Brute (I keep writing Fruit Bruit, which is a real word by the way and they are homophones) with a somewhat scary for the target audience mascot which is why he's defunct and my friend said it looks like you can save either 17 ¢ or ° if you buy his cereal and he said that he'd love to save 17 degrees to use on a cold day and I think that if I could increase the temperature by 17 degrees C or even F on a day like this, I'd do that instead. I may have told you about this before. Or I may have only thought about telling you this) but at least the sun was out for about 2/3rds of the event and even when it wasn't, it wasn't rainy.
Kirby has green hair tied in twinned knobs that she says makes her fit in as an art student and a tattoo of a mountanscape on her arm and a t-shirt with the American flag made as a peace sign that she said was originally ironic but has become more and more sadly relevant each passing day. She drew this with chalk and won second place.
This is the first place winner and if you ask me, it deserved it.
Someone did another skull for Cinco de Mayo, even though it was actually Siete de Mayo.
Eagles are the perfect symbol for this country. The only reason they're still around is because of environmental laws and protections.
This painting is done by Vincent Van D'oh or possibly Claude D'ohnet or even Henri de D'ohlouse-Lautrec. I made the last pun by the way.
There were people with ladders so I assume that one day there will be better pictures.
A few of them I can't find include four goldfish around a dusky red sphere, the moon and three stars and a neon owl, the Jaws poster, a woman playing guitar, the Dance at Bougaval, Red Horses, and a sunflower. Last year someone replicated The Kiss.
Chloë was wearing a Vote Obama 2008 t-shirt she says she's been wearing daily. She asked me if she could share it and I said that people probably do though I have no idea where they end up. She asked me where I was going and then she told me she was heading to Chinatown to have some bubble tea.
Despite the imperfect perspective, Brynna said my drawing of her was amazing and told me she's never met another Brynna or Brenna for that matter. Apparently Brynna is a place in Wales and comes from a word meaning hill or mound while Brenna possibly comes from the Gaulish name Brennus, or possibly an Irish name.
Normally Harvard Station reminds me of the first stage of Dr. Wily's castle from Mega Man 4 as if that's a spoiler or the Fifth Ark from Final Fantasy XIII but there's a brightly colored tessellated tile mural called New England Decorative Arts and painted by Joyce Kozloff.
Isabelle and Anna are from France, where Russian and Ecuadorian efforts to suborn elections have been much less successful. I'm pretty sure irony is when they call the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys for not putting a fascist in power.
Conall mostly works in digital but once painted something in Halloween facepaint and he said it took two weeks to dry but looked really amazing. The battery on his phone was dying so he couldn't show us anything. I didn't hear most of it because it was one of the older trains and very noisy and he had to leave by the time we went aboveground.
Julia likes to work with acrylics. Once she was on a volleyball team with only six people and four of them were named Mary. Some of Julia's friends were at the 90s Bar Crawl and I said that there were a lot of people with chokers and/or flannel but that's normal and it's hard to tell who's dressed like it's the 90s and who's just dressed as themselves. She had an unfinished work but she posted it on snapchat and now it's lost to the aether.
Burning Question:
who the hell designed this place, Daedalus and King Minos of Crete?
