On Adams Street in front of Farah and Farah (across from The Carling) they have a whole row of food tents set up. I saw Indochine, Burrito Gallery, and others named as being vendors. I can hear them doing mic checks and warming up the musicians up in my apartment next door. I'm getting pretty excited.
