Wow, that’s unfortunate. The idewalk is fabulous and all but access to drinks and a cool place to sit might have been nice too.

I get messages like that on my answering machine all the time. It says: Speak in rhyme if you're so inclined. More on Mara's poetry pants here: http://www.looseleafnotes.com/notes/2007/05/a_house_in_the_road_and_maras.html

Looks like Mara has a poem on her pants!
Ode to a cafe owner
Open your doors
Let us in please
If you don’t
We’ll sit on the street
Ok, I’m a horrible poet.
Greece pictures will definitely be posted upon my return.

Oh, I know that! Look at the second to last photo. I’ll fix the misspelled one.
Dylan’s step-daughter’s name is Kaylee and somehow I strangely mix both names together.

It appears that Sally left for vacation (not vacaton) on Friday and just forgot. Oh well. No dire emergencies, just oversights. We did have fun anyway, though I really felt for the poets who traveled long distances to read.
BTW, Colleen–it’s KYLA, not Kayla.

Gee…I hope everything is okay with the owner’s, too! I know how often you all go there and how you and Mara play scrabble there and I feel like I know the place very well from seeing so very many pictures of it on your blog, PLUS, calling you there one day….I truly hope nothing has happened to them, Colleen…! Do keep us informed!
Love all the pictures of your Sidewalk Converntion!

How great that the show went on even if on the sidewalk.

Hmm, yeah, why was it closed? Hope all is well there.
But you guys just proved your creativity once again. If there’s a sidewalk…there’s an open mic.
