Fête de la Musique


my most favorite place to spend a sunny saturday is in harvard square.  this past saturday my lovely friend suggested we head to harvard square for make music 2010.  make music stems from the french festival “Fête de la Musique” which first happened 28 years ago in paris.  now, over 300 cities celebrate the beginning of summer with similar music festivals, all on the same day! 150 artists stationed all over harvard square played from 1pm-10pm. 



while i waited for my friend to arrive, bubble tea in hand, i watched a band of 14 year old little dudes playing their hearts out.  it reminded me of being their age and having monster crushes on all my older brother's cute guitar playing friends.  it was very sweet. 


we then decided bud light limes and blt's at charlies beer garden were a good way to start the day... from there we wandered all over harvard square, stopping wherever pulled us in.  we made friends, we bought yummy smelling soap, smashed soft serve in each other's faces, and cyrrene stood by as the perfect wingwoman as i awkwardly flirted with a cutie pie guitar player.  i walked away with his record and perhaps a butterfly or two in my tummy.  we ended the day with micheladas as we watched artists of all genres support each other on a truly fantastic day.  i do have some photos but i've been too busy getting my ass kicked at dodgeball to upload them yet. (team not in the face went 0-11 last night. zoinks!)
