An urban hoedown

posted by Tim Nafziger on 11/19/07 at 01:57 AM

In the last few months I've reflected on urban barnraisings and urban canning, both very rural work practices adapted to city living. I'm pleased to report that some impractical and downright exuberant things have reached us here in the city as well. Last night Living Water hosted a birthday party and square dance in our meeting space. Rather than try to tell you about it, I'll just share some of the photos I took:

But I can't take credit for my favorite photo from the evening which was taken by my friend, the amazing Peter Anderson:

So don't let anybody tell you that city folks don't know how to kick up their heels and promenade!
