This past week's concert at Anson B. Nixon Park was by Beyond the Pale, a Celtic band who played original songs and traditional tunes (when was the last time you heard "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor"?), with the Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face" stuck in there as well. The evening started out hot and sticky, but as the sun went down it cooled off nicely. I even felt a little breeze, even if those around me didn't.
There were a couple of kids demonstrating Irish dancing, the usual cute toddlers rushing around as fast as their little legs could carry them (with parents at their heels), and a bearded fellow who danced by himself with great enthusiasm and abandon.
State Street Pizza & Grill provided the food, and just like last summer they ran out of pizza before the show even started and had to summon backup. One New Bolton Center researcher learned from his experience last year: instead of returning to his seat and missing the second and third backup deliveries, he stood his ground at the pavilion and was the first to score his slices when they arrived, still hot in an insulated bag.
