So this weekend was the Nook Farm Harvest Festival. As many of you all know, Nook Farm used to be the name of this immediate neighborhood. Anyway, we started out the day by, of course, going down to the Half Door to watch a game (Peter) and struggle with the massively difficult Saturday New York Times crossword puzzle (me).
So like I think I've said, tomorrow is the Beer and Game paired dinner. (Squee!!!!) Dr. Pete and I noticed that not only was the bar closed tomorrow for the event, but for several days thereafter. For the ever frightening description of "renovations."
Come to find out, they are getting rid of their lovely barroom lump (pictured above, with glasses on it). Sigh. Legend has it that the lump started as the tiniest crack, and proceeded to grow, imperceptibly, into the small hill pictured. You actually can rest a glass on it, but it is not recommended that anyone over a certain amount of alcohol consumption do so.

Many a good drink has gone down that way
O'er the lump in the bar when the drunken men sway

Hey, and there's one of our bartenders! Isn't he attractive?
So then it was off to the Nook Farm thing, which was mostly over by that time (we missed the roving Mark Twain impersonator, damn), but caught these lovely ponies on tape. So, as a reward, PONIES! And yes, apparently all I can say is "ponies."

That sounds like a fun way to spend a Saturday, Kim! Btw, that particular crossword puzzle is insanely difficult.
Have a great time at the Beer and Game Dinner! I'm sure it will be just fantastic.
And that's really too bad about the bar getting rid of the lump. There's something kind of cool about a glass sitting at an angle. Awesome song, too!
It's also too bad you guys had to miss the Mark Twain impersonator. Boo! As an aside, when we were in Williamsburg a few years ago, one of my favorite things was listening to the impersonators. They were great! It really made you feel like you were in another century.
But the ponies video is wonderful. Adds a very nice atmosphere to the Festival.
As always, awesome job on the blog!!
