The local newspaper coverage of the festival and block party was somewhat of a letdown. The article was good, but instead of any of the great photo ops from the entire festival available throughout the day, they published a picture of a lone kid in the middle of the pile of squished boxes… and then mis-claimed that the boxes were “discarded by vendors”, which was absolutely untrue. (This may have been a function of someone who wasn’t actually at the event selecting and writing the caption for the photo…) All the vendors were very neat and cleaned up completely after themselves… and what’s more, Andrew and lots of volunteers put together all those boxes carefully by hand!!!

However, some people on the internet got it right on, and also put up awesome photos! Thanks, Worcester!

“I… immediately saw that there were a lot of boxes…”

“…this level of blissful abandonment (from which all art stems)”

“Do it again! Do it again!”

(We’ve also heard tell that hordes of angry commenters are protesting the crummy newspaper article on the paper’s website, but I couldn’t find a working link for it…)
