NIGHT 13 OF 31
Mermaids
The fest leans toward the water without leaving the fire.
ACCESSORIES
Shells on a string. A shimmer scarf.
DECORATIONS
Nets with lanterns in them. Blue-green glass on the tables. The sea is already doing the set.
ATMOSPHERE
The fest leans toward the water without leaving the fire.
FOOD
Fish cakes, kelp-salt crisps, lemon on everything.
DRINK
Cucumber and soda, very cold, called sea glass by the stall.
MUSIC
A low wave of voices and a drum like oars.
ACTIVITIES
Walk to the shore look, not into the water. Scales stay dry.
THE PARTY
Shimmer hour when the sun is gone and the lanterns do the shining.
AFTER DARK
People sit on rocks like a choir that did not rehearse.
OF THIS OCTOBER

A FRAME, IF YOU WANT ONE
You in scale-pattern cloth and a shimmer scarf on mountain shore rocks, lanterns in nets, dusk, elegant, no text.
STALL
Shimmer scarf
Light cloth. Reads as scales when you move. Packs flat.
