I thought I might get by again on Saturday, but in the event did not.  Even on a work evening, they seemed to have a pretty good crowd, and I did get my custard, some baklava, bread & seseme sticks.

The band was playing with some impromptu dancing, and everybody looked to be having a great time.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130709.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130709_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130709_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130709_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130710.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130710_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130710_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130710_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130711.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130711_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130711_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130711_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130712.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130712_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130712_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130712_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130713.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130713_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130713_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130713_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130714.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130714_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130714_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130714_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130715.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130715_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130715_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130715_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130716.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130716_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130716_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130716_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130717.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130717_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130717_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130717_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130718.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130718_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130718_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130718_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130719.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130719_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130719_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130719_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130720.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130720_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130720_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130720_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130721.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130721_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130721_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130721_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130722.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130722_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130722_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130722_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130723.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130723_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130723_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130723_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130724.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130724_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130724_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130724_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130725.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130725_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130725_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130725_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130727.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130727_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130727_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130727_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130728.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130728_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130728_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130728_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130730.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130730_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130730_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130730_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130731.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130731_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130731_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130731_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130732.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130732_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130732_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130732_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130733.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/26\/09\/p2130733_tn.jpg\" title=\"p2130733_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p2130733_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No Pepsi, Coke!
