If it's June 6-8, and you're in New York, Come Out and Play

If it's June 6-8, then it's the Summer Come Out and Play festival in New York City, where there will be played, for example, amongst the remarkable range of games that sound new and fun and delightfully pointless, you will find:

The Mother of All Picnic Games:

• Competitive Picnicking

A most Human Card game

• Human Blackjack

The fascinating conjecture of a lost sport of the Olympiads having something to do with running around naked, in a maze, blindfolded.

• The Lost Sport of Olympia

Both/and:

• Super Happy Fun City Bingo
• Urban Bingo

And, especially, from our favorite Aesthleticians, a play performance, as it were, of:

• Wiffle Hurling MV

Did I mention that "Public Fun" has a definite taste that tastes different from all other kind of fun. And when it's really fun, it tastes potentially what this kind of event might taste like - just about as fun as fun can taste.
