Summer Festival la-dee-da

Sorry I don't have any photos from Ingenuity Fest, personal crap and all, but the general verdict from most participants I had talked to was "it was okay". The technology driven exhibits were better than past years for sure. The only annoyances seemed to be that the stilt walkers won't go away and keep being included every year, the faux robots dancing around that made everyone want to throw rocks, the rude spectators, and the fact the beer cart was the main attraction. Hey, better than past years! Because as one person pointed out after some organizational issues on Friday, "Cleveland can fuck up a 1 car funeral". Personally I'm way more excited about this than any festival!

And so, we have another festival this weekend, but don't worry, no people in robot costumes. A wet t-shirt contest, monkey boxing match, and a tent full of 'freaks' who eat nails and screws would make it the best festival ever.

Friday: Studio of 5 Rings presents abstract expressionist work by Don Cox from 5-9pm. Better keep an eye out for Doctor Pee-Pee though, it is a wine tasting gallery after all.

Saturday: Waterloo Arts Festival. There will be lots of kids activities, music performances at The Beachland (with a rock stage and a folk stage), artist vendors, shopping at Shoparooni and Music Saves along with "Rock n Roll Flea Market" presented by the Beachland. I must warn you, there will be stilt walkers.
