Saturday is Center Street Daze in Riverwest, and I'm taking one for the neighborhood by sitting in the dunk tank at 4:20 p.m. So consider this an informal invite to throw a few balls and -- if you can -- soak the bejeezus out of me.
(Actually, come to think of it, tomorrow's an entire day of throwing things -- with the Spanish-tomato fight taking place at the Tomato Romp near Beans & Barley earlier in the afternoon.)
Center Street Daze is, aptly, on Center Street between Humboldt and Pierce Streets. It runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the DIY cart races starting at high noon. This is an awesome event to bring the kiddos to -- but be prepared for spontaneous street fire, keggers doubling as pushcarts and rowdy Riverwesterners.
See you there.
