This past Saturday I journeyed down the 110, across the 395, and up the 295 to Marvin Gaye Park in the Deanwood neighborhood of NE for the annual Capitol Hip Hop Soul Festival. There was a fair amount going on here – good rotation of musicians on the main stage, vendors hawking their wares, a fashion show, indoor performance space, delicious crabcakes, sunshine, cool breezes, and at one point, people randomly walking around and giving out Blue Bunny frozen yogurt bars (side note: try this stuff, particularly white chocolate raspberry). Pretty fantastic. Tough to beat free fro-yo, greasy carnival food, and live hiphop on a warm July afternoon.
