After leaving the food festival, I headed to see a movie.  While walking, I ran into this madness.

Hello, up there!

I needed to cross this street to get to the theater.  I heard loud music, but couldn't see what everyone was cheering for.

Oh, of course.

There were tons of Mexican-style dancers in colorful uniforms.  I'm not sure if this was a competition or a parade or something else entirely.

Please let me through...

It was not to be.  I had to walk the long way to get around.  I was almost free and then...

A farmer's market.

ARGH!  I'm happy to have such booming cultural activities, especially in the rain, but the timing is just terrible.

The farmers market crowd lost me another five minutes as I tried to weave around everyone.  I suppose these are good problems to have.

Food festivals, parades, farmer's markets...construction?  On the way back from the movie, the subway stations were closed for construction, so I walked four avenues in the rain.  Yuck.
