KABOOM!..'Oz, & Barbecue..

Started out yesterday am ( which was really overcast & cold btw) pedaling thru City Park over to Langston Hughes Academy elementary school for playground build event. It was some production - maybe 200 volunteers. . Folks were there in groups from different organizations or on their own like myself. Amazingly we started w an open lot & ended up w a full playground by 3pm- very cool. At the end of day the kids came outside and were so excited. The school band played at a short dedication and the project was complete. From here hopped on bike to the FQ- picked up my tux pants and swung by WWOZ to say hey to a friend at the station. . By this time pretty hungry so biked it over to the new location of The Joint for BBQ in the Bywater. After heading back to sis's for a rest & shower ended my night w a trip via streetcar over to Chickie Wah Wah to see Jon Cleary on piano & guitar (didn't know he played guitar; after hearing, he was ok but i prefer his piano playing which is pretty amazing). Well that's almost all for this trip. Maybe will take a ride over to Rouses to pick up some Hubigs pies to bring home and then lunch w sis and off to airport for fight home. Bye y'all.
