Eating My Hat Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass

On September 27, 28 and 29 the TSES was lucky enough to be one of the invited participants at the 2013 DUMBO Arts Festival, an annual celebration of art, music and culture in the DUMBO neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York. Our parking spot in the Pearl St Triangle afforded us a great view of the bridge, immediate access to amazing food vendors and heaps of visitors.

In popular media, the Tri-State area is depicted as rich mecca of culture, jostling with bodies, ideas and creativity. As someone who lives outside New York I always wondered about the accuracy of this representation and half-assumed that the epic tale of NYC was an accidental exaggeration that had grown over time. After encountering a mere fraction of New Yorkers* at the DUMBO Arts Festival I am delighted to report that I will be eating a side of hat with my ketchup chips. My assumption about the greatness of New York woefully under estimated the amazing people who make that place possible. Visitors to the TSES at DUMBO entered the space with inquisitive and open minds. While some had heard of tar sands, many had not, but all were uniquely willing to discuss their thoughts, explore the van and engage with difficult topics. Nearly every person we met (including the remarkable younger visitors who came by) asked smart questions and provided us with useful information, references and anecdotes. To say were were overwhelmed by the support for the project would be an understatement.  We left the festival exhausted but regenerated,  ready to tackle the continuing discussion about the Keystone Pipeline, oil sand and the future with renewed gusto and knowledge.

*Please forgive my naive use of the term New Yorkers to encapsulate people from Greater New York. I know not what else to call you. I realize the importance of regionally specific community identities and apologize if my lazy use of language implies otherwise.
