Non-NYC-local people: I will stop posting Housing Works stuff of no relevance to you sometime soon, I promise.

NYC-local people: Guys I can't believe I forgot to tell you about this earlier! Today is the Housing Works Open Air Street Fair, which means that we are selling a BAJILLION books as well as CDs and records and things for a dollar each, and also there is thrift store stuff too. It is all nonprofit - the money goes to Housing Works - and it is supercheap, which combined means guilt-free book buying! And I know there is lots of awesome stuff, because my job has been to keep the tables stocked and I am having to seriously restrain myself from running off with all of it. Which job I am sneaking away from for a moment to tell you all to come if you have a chance at all.

Because seriously, is there a better way to spend a gorgeous sunny Saturday than in a tiny cobblestoned street in NYC that is COMPLETELY FILLED on either side with $1 books? I submit to you, no! There is no better way!

My roommate is there right now! (Or she was and perhaps has left already?) But sadly, I had already promised another friend to meet her for lunch and studying/writing time so I could not go. :(

Awww, that is a shame! I think there is going to be another one later in the summer, though, so you should have another chance. I hope your roommate picked up some cool stuff!

WHY AM I NOT IN NYC FOR THIS.

And why did I sleep through the library's book sale today too. *mourns*

I think there is going to be another one later in the summer!

. . . odds seem low that it will be a weekend when you are here, BUT MAYBE.

ONE NEVER KNOWS!!!

Odds are definitely against it, but.

(Also I really do not need to acquire armloads of books to lug back from NYC and find shelf space for... but books!)
