National Night Out: 5 hot dogs, some BBQ and a mayoral sighting

I walked with my neighbor to Market St and 12th and stopped in to offer assistance with setting up for their block party. Ended up spending a couple of hours helping with serving food and grilling hot dogs. Don't worry I managed to still eat 5 hot dogs and some ribs/chicken/potato salad from Everett and Jones. It's the first time I've had their famous BBQ and let's just say we made sure the sauce was not thrown away!
There were sandwiches donated by the Subway Sandwich at 7th and Mandela Parkway. Mandela Foods Cooperative also donated drinks, fruits and other snacks. You have to love businesses that give back to their community!
Some groovy beats and Mayor Ron Dellums was there for about 30 minutes. Like him or not, at least he made the effort.
Then BHboy showed up and we headed over to 34th and Peralta for the party hosted by City Slicker Farms to hang out a bit with Adelle. We also briefly visited the party at 32nd and Peralta. No I did not eat any more food.
