Ann Arbor's Art fair

[Dubb]

I hate it.

Every year Ann Arbor is overun by the art fair, and its dour looking, starved middle aged women in "creative" clothing who snatch up all the parking in town. And every year I scrunch up my forehead at the $6 lemonades and the overpriced crappy "artwork" that always seems so unintentionally kitschy. I had to go to the bank this morning, and this year appears no different, except there seems to be more corporate sponser booths, complete with giant inflatable logos.

Anybody need a small copper insect on a stick? I can get you one for $150...

cliffs:

Ann Arbor's Art fair: neither art nor a fair. Discuss.

Tell me this isn't what they replaced the hash bash with!!

 

Hate it. :|

I went to Ashley's last night and couldn't park anywhere near the Diag. :|

Having lived in A2 during the summer, I can't stand it. The only good thing is that if you have a house close to campus you can sell parking for $10-$20 a spot.

the only good part about it is that some of the streets are still closed off to traffic at night. so you can just kinda wander around without having to worrying about getting run over.

The last time I was at Ashley's, there was a drill bit in my pizza. According to the waitress, they toss the dough for the pizza in the basement and sometimes there are tools laying around.

Yeah, but you don't live here. Stay with me for a few days evil: ) and I'll show you how inconvenient the Art Fair is.
