I hope everyone had a lovely 4th!

I certainly did! See the ten wondrous exhibits below.

1. Man playing a trumpet on the subway to Coney Island. He doesn't look as if he enjoys his job:



2. Not eschewing sartorial loudness, er, magnificence:



3. Trav is pensive on the subway.



4. Killing time in the Freak Bar before Trav's presentation on P.T.Barnum in honor of his 200th birthday at the Coney Island Museum:



5. Dick Zigun making the introductions:



6. Trav (blurrily) plugging his book, No Applause-- Just Throw Money: The Book That Made Vaudeville Famous:


7. Lorinne Lampert performing with her ukulele:


8. Trav talking oh so engagingly about P.T. Barnum and his legacy:


9. Lorinne and Trav S.D.



10. Trav and I, post-talk:



And then, like all good Americans, we went to a barbecue in someone's backyard, for which we are lacking photographic evidence.

Happy 4th of July, everyone!
