Category: Summer in the City 2008

Posted by Paul Talpos on Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 8:21 PM

Yeah, this year was pretty sweet

Following our enormous last daystravaganza this past Aug. 15, Summer in the City has officially gone into hibernation until 2009.

2008 was a huge year, as we (twice) broke our biggest-day-ever record, painted murals all over the place, built more Quikrete-and-bricks benches than we could count and all sorts of other stuff that you hopefully know about because you were there.

We're sure, though, that 2009 is going to be even bigger and betterer, and to ensure that we're going to be working diligently over the fall, winter and spring to scout out potential new carpool sites, figure out which T-shirt color will look best on us next year, send out your hours certificates and last day pictures (look for me on one of the ladders popping my SitC shirt Paul Pierce-style), and, of course, finalize our epic end-of-the-year video (who knows what that wacky Will McDowell will think of next?)

So in short: Thanks for a great year, come back next year, tell your friends (and enemies) about SitC, and stay in touch. On Facebook? Join our group!

P.S.: I'm sorry there weren't crepes at the last day. Blame Stephanie.
