The Nomi and Michael Burstein MooTour 2006!

[gnomi]

CowParade has finally come to Boston! The Bursteins have decided that we must see and photograph each and every cow before they disappear into the stockyard in the sky.

You are cordially invited to join us for MooTour 2006!

When: Sunday, August 6th, 11 AM until whenever. Rain date Sunday, August 20th.

Where: All over Boston, but starting in Copley Square (SE corner of Boylston and Dartmouth)

What: Join the Bursteins as we pursue our quixotic quest to photograph every single cow in the 2006 Boston CowParade!

Details: Starting in Copley Square, we will use the map of the CowParade to try to see and photograph every cow statue we can. We'll be doing a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes. If it's hot and sunny, you might want to wear sunglasses and bring a water bottle. We'll also be jumping onto the T a lot, so if you have a T-pass that will be a big help. (Remember that on Sundays, a T-pass holder is allowed to bring a guest.) And if you want your own pictures of the cows, make sure to bring a camera as well.

Special bonus: In order to fortify ourselves before going on the MooTour, we'll be enjoying brunch at Rubin's Kosher Deli. If you wish to join us for brunch, please let us know when you RSVP, so we can make an appropriate reservation.

I'm going to hope that you have to use the rain date, because then I can come with you. We'll be in Newport, RI at the Newport Guitar Festival, looking at guitars and playing them (and not buying any, oh please, not buying any!) that weekend.

Cowbot!

More Cows and Critters

As it happens, there is also a CowParade Wisconsin 2006 taking place in and around Madison, Wisconsin, with more than 100 bovine statues on view. See <http://wisconsin.cowparade.com/> for details.

Of special note in this region is the city of Racine, Wisconsin, which is now in its fifth consecutive summer of adorning its downtown streets with animal statuary. Past subjects have been dogs (Dog Days of Racine), cats (Cat'n Around Downtown), bears (Downtown Bears It All), and fish and otters (Downtown Summer Splash). This year's subject is birds and birdbaths (Bird is the Word). You will find links to photo galleries of the four past years' creations, and to some preparatory drawings for some of this year's avian oddities, at <http://www.racinepublicart.com/>.

Alas, teddywolf and magid's aunt will be visiting that weekend. Mostly to see Joshua *wink* but still.

We'd love to join you, but can't because I have to work... but could we join you just for the brunch part, so we'd still get to see you? If so, what time are you planning to meet?

BTW I hope you'll be posting pictures! :-)

We're sorry you'll have to miss it.

As for brunch, please send e-mail to MooTour@mabfan.com if you're planning to join us. mabfan is coordinating all the timing through that e-mail address, to streamline the whole process.

And, yes, we will be posting photos afterwards. I'll be sure to post when they're up.

OK, I wasn't sure whether that address was just for cow-trippers... I'll drop him a note. Thanks!

Oh man, it is SO tempting to abandon Seth for a weekend and head up there to enjoy the fun!

Hee! If you happened to find yourself up here for the MooTour, we'd love to have you join us! :-)
