Mayfest Almost Here

[Townsend]

Fort Worth's Mayfest was cancelled.

Just the fest or are they cancelling May in steps to leave the union?

I got a margarita at mayfest last year, and they wouldn't let you leave this specific designated drinking pen until you finished it for some reason.  But then at night you could walk around certain areas with a beer.  Why is that?

The margarita which you purchased at Billy's on the Square actually contained tequila and it must be consumed in an enclosed area with the proper permits.  The beer at Mayfest is 3.2 beer and as such is not considered an "alcoholic beverage."  (tell that to the police when they stop you for DUI) so you can walk around with it.  There will be a wine tent, courtesy of Blue Coyote Vineyard,  this year on the Williams Green and you must stay in their fencing as well as wine is considered alcohol.  Thanks for coming to Mayfest!

I heard that they were canceling June. Because pansies bloom in June, and Yankees are pansies.

I'm from Jersey and Pansies are very hardy flowers.

Which opens up a big can-o-worms about our laws here.  If the streets are blocked off I consider it one big enclosed area.

Is there any version of that mayfest poster(that the public can buy) without the brown border?

I second that. I'd also love to have it offered on a different medium, such as canvas.

Nope, but you could probably just mat whatever color you wanted around the center part (black for instance) and frame it up however you like.

Are ya serious? How come they scrubed it, the flu thing? When we lived in Texas we made it to  every Mayfest.  It's great for the kids and it's great for the adults there is something for everyone. Since I moved out of Texas I have not been to a Mayfest there and the kids are grown and on their own. One year during Mayfest a big storm blew thru I think it was in the year 2000 people ran for cover and big hail stones fell. Texas has it in Trinity Park. That's too bad if it was really cancelled.

Apparently there was too much hoot and not near enough nanny.

I guess so. There's always next year.

They are moving TheArtist's painting to the Invitational Gallery tomorrow. It's currently in the Kennedy Building.

It's quite... large.

The mural addition he is working on at the crowne plaza is looking good too.
