Sizzle Like Bacon...My Intro to Interpretive Dance

Ann Arbor is known for it's eccentrics...hell, that's why we're allowed to live here :)Every summer Andi and I like to hit up all the festivals that we can in the area, and last night was our first trip to this year's "Top of the Park". "The TOP"...as those of us who invent things call it, showcases great local music, food and NOW...interpretively dancing acrobats!!! The group is called "STRANGE FRUIT" and man are they interpretive :) Dig the pix!interesting.....
So these guys and gals are balanced on a flexible pole about 13 feet off the ground. They perform a gymnastic\mime routine that chronicles love and loss.
Hey, if it makes the blonde happy I'd interpretively dance too :)

Summertime and the livin'z ez

Dogs, leaping, pools, fair fries...does it get any better??? I think NOT!
Blondie and I took in the Heritage park "Pet-a-palooza" this weekend AND THEN the "Taste of Ann Arbor" food fest.
Enjoy the Pix :)

This is the COOLEST thing that you can train a dog to do. They throw a rubber toy into the air out over a pool and the dogs run and jump and back flip to retrieve the target. It's a distance competition and some of the dogs were jumping over 19 feet from the platform!!! High flyerzBig dog, even bigger splash
Running the agility courseAt the Taste of Ann Arbor you buy tickets and visit alllllll the restaurants on Main Street to sample the fare. I ate pretty much everything in sight :) The potato patties from Shalimar and the vegi samosas were ma' favs. The swordfish skewers from Palio' were pretty good too.
