Lily Street Sale

Yesterday, Lily Street had a huge street sale. R. and I were up an out around 9 setting up stuff for the day. Before we could even open the garage door, the early birds descended like crows to carrion and started rummaging through our stuff. It was a chaotic 15-minutes as I accidentally sold one of R's books to an intense and aggressive buyer.

Later, the day settled down, friends stopped by, we met the neighbors and in general had a good time. Ironically, I don't think I made very much money, but it certainly was fun and had a nice ambiance. I like to know that I am connected to my neighbors and my neighborhood. I used to live in Pacific Heights and I felt alone and isolated, but here in Hayes Valley I feel more like an integral part of the 'hood.
