Tuesday Salon Is Over | reed

Last night marked the final Tuesday Salon. It's been a long, crazy run. If someone had told me, back in January, that we'd make it this long, I'd have bet against it.

Best of all, I think I know tons more people through TS than before. To be sure, one sees people at parties, restaurants and bars. But most conversations tend to be somewhat stilted or fragmentary. TS, by contrast, enabled me to think "wow, that person seemed cool...I hope they come back another Tuesday".

There were good times and bad. My pretzel Salon, in the absence of Annie, had to be a low point. The numbers for four square varied from almost no one (two hot weeks were like that) to so many people on both squares the lines were deep for each.

Will TS be reborn, like the phoenix, one day? I'm not sure. But for now, I'm just appreciative of all the good times we had.
