morning afternoon evening the wee hours the low-down TW12

Indestructible Lunchtime Noon Even from a distance, the sound is unmistakable: the clanging of metal, the screeching of horns, a romantic rasp and sizzle. No, it's not a new TW album - it's lunch. Like a welcome rest stop mirage looming out of the highway murk, Chef Bruce and Chef Sefton appear from short-order nowhere and begin to cook Lunch lines: Bone Machine Meanwhile, it's Down By Law on the small screen, and card games on the front porch, or play Boggle with Ellen... Bad Idea Carnival 1:00pm "to the carnival is what she said / a hundred dollars makes it dark inside" The carnival's back in town, tugging at you with cheap thrills and a larcenous hand in your pocket. The carnies here don't look too responsible, but that won't stop you from watching as they set up the dunk tank and the cannon. Recreate the real sideshow feeling with a cone of cotton candy - available in the traditional flavors: blue and pink Calliope cacophony: Night on Earth In the neighborhood 2:00pm Since it went so well last year, the tent-setters are inviting the floor-crashers to another Tent City block party!! So, campers be ready with some vagabond hospitality - street games, a tour of the tents , and a little trick-or-treating,!! Bring candy (and costume?), or else have a trick at the ready. If you like your sweets from a bottle, then, head over to Missy's Tasteless Malt Beverage Tasting. Rank in categories like "worst to get sick on," and "best when warm" -- more painful than it sounds! (even from your tent, you can hear: Tom Waits -the Orphan Bootlegs)

TW Iron Chef! 3:00pm OK, you never made the cut at cooking school, and you were taken away in cuffs from the Pillsbury Bake-Off. But you've still got a chance to take the championship belt at TW Iron Chef!! All you've got to do is whip up a couple dishes in a stone-age "kitchen stadium" using nuts, berries, and the "mystery ingredient." Oh yeah, and you've got beat the best - Bruce and Sefton return to defend their title! Shiver my timbers 4:00pm Spend enough festivals lingering around the pond and you'll be hooked: the pond air gets in your blood, and from then on your dream is to build boats out of trash. So bring up your latest creation for more junkboat racing! This year, propellers are allowed, but no TJ... To really set sail, lend a hand in launching uncle Bob's old sailboat, and marvel as Joey X slips on a black gondolier number and serenades you from the deck of your very first Gondola rowing the while in tight circles. Foghorn: Swordfishtrombones Sight for Sore Eyes 5:00pm Every artist dreams of having a gallery - until they learn about the 50% house cut. Well, the rules are different here at Battery Farm Gallery - just draw it, paint it, shoot it or find it, and we'll add it to the show. So slip your contribution in among Tina's Prom photos, cardboard saints and carved pumpkins, and enjoy a bona-fide TW Art Opening!! Marvel at the spread of miserable white wine and questionable cheese-on-toothpicks and remember, all sales are final.
