Festival-goers in the Northeast can find me at two festivals in July, one in August, and one in September:

only a handful of days 'til the close of the academic year for our middle-schooler and his fellow students here in NYC, and the sense of anticipatory joy the kids feel is contagious.  the attitude in brooklyn seems a bit…
