Oddones Holiday Bizarre at Der Harrisburg Maennerchor

I believe it was my wife who recently told me that my blog posts are getting way too technical. Of course, I just came off of a month where I did nothing but work, so this site didn’t serve for much more than archiving snippets of code… I suppose I can see how such posts just aren’t approachable for some of our friends, so this week I’m going to try and dedicate my posts to the non-technical, boring, everyday life stuff.

Restlessness on Friday night caught up with us, so we decided to head to Harrisburg for the weekend to catch up with friends. I think my in-laws are still convinced that I made the trip just to pick up my Willie Parker jersey, which was shipped to their house (Apparently, I won an eBay auction on an authentic jersey–for what I paid, I’m definitely not complaining!). Of course, I decided to stay home for the nationally-televised Steelers-Bengals game on Sunday and missed out on seeing the Bus stop in on Scruffy Duffy’s.

I stopped at the Oddones Holiday Bizarre at the Maennerchor on Saturday (which I found out about via Beyond Second). I guess I partially went just to see the interior of the building, since it’s not very public. I was happy to discover that the local art community is still doing well, as it was a pretty good turnout. The prices seemed to be extremely reasonable, too. I was hoping to add an official Jason Smith-designed (C)ondemned t-shirt to my wardrobe, but alas, there were none to be found. I settled for this pretty cool silkscreen shirt of the Broad Street market for $8.
