PS 38 Spring Carnival Tomorrow.

This spring carnival sounds like a lot of fun and it's for a good cause, of course, the PTA at PS 38.  The sign lists pony rides, an obstacle course and giant slide as just a couple of activities.  And there will also be food and raffles.  If you'd like to stop by it will all be happening at the PS 38 schoolyard, that's 450 Pacific Street between noon and 5pm tomorrow.

Photoville: Cool but Hot

Did anyone attend the event we blogged about called Photoville?  We went last weekend and, although the event was a great idea, it was an unfortunate weekend to have it because it was sooooooo incredibly hot.  They had delicious food vendors and the photography exhibits were wonderful.  The spot was just under the BQE in Dumbo and it was in a concrete lot, no shade, and the shipping containers seemed to be giving off heat even more.  We hope people went the weekend before when it was less sweaty.  Maybe they'll rethink doing this event in June/July if it happens again next year.
