August Hit And Run

Merry Mary. Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? John Capecci (creative wiz) and Scott Mayer (event master) that's who. They are responsible for Eat, Drink, and Be Mary!, scheduled August 14-16 (see Q calendar). Since 1970, Mary's world has fascinated every homo from Chelsea to Palm Springs. Who hasn't stood at the corner of 7th and Nicollet Mall just wishing they'd brought their tam? And how many times have you lost your way in Kenwood looking for Lars and Phyllis Lindstrom's home? Despite the efforts of current resident and Minneapolis Institute of Arts exec Evan Mauer, who painted it brown and rumoredly trained his dogs to attack (ahh, love is all around!), the address is 2104 Kenwood Parkway. Pedal fast and catch a glimpse. If you've ever yearned to be Mary (it's you girl, and you should know it!), your dream has come true. Eat, Drink, and Be Mary! includes the chance to be snapped on Nicollet Mall in a navy blue A-line swing coat and brunette flip.
