| Saturday was the day for the Van Buren Street block party. The giant speakers are ready. | 
| The fire hydrant has been opened (the 79th precinct ok'd it) and the kids are already at it. | 
| One young lady was dancing in the water with a bucket over her head. She was beautiful! | 
| Two blocks down, at the Hattie Carthan Community Garden, there's a drumming circle -- anyone can join in... | 
| ... and ladies (including a clown) were doing African dance to the beat. | 
| The clown's stockings | 
| Just beyond the ladies dancing, and the drumming circle, there was a bouncy castle for the kids. | 
| At the end of the day, the bouncy castle gets packed up like a big sleeping bag. |
