Gypsy Picnic!

posted by on November 3 2010

Ho, Bananarchists,

As mentioned in a previous post, we will be participating in the Gypsy Picnic this coming Saturday!  This is your real last chance to get frozen bananas this year, unless you go to extraordinary lengths.  Come support us from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Auditorium Shores!  And vote for us for all the contest stuff, because I hear we can get prizes or something.  And who doesn’t want that.  Question mark.

Since some of you probably don’t know what the Gypsy Picnic is, we have prepared a preemptive FAQ, or NYABPSBQ (Not Yet Asked But Probably Should Be Questions), for you.  Here it is:

Q: What is the Gypsy Picnic?

A: It is an Austin trailer food festival in its first year, to be celebrated this Saturday, November 6, at Auditorium Shores.

Q: What time is it at?

A: As you might be able to guess from the beginning of this post, the event goes from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m.

Q: How much does it cost to get in?  I am a poor and lowly!  All I have is this drum!

A: Never fear!  It is free entry!  However, you will need some money if you want to buy anything.  Maybe you could play your drum on the street corner for a few hours…?

Q: Will there be real Gypsies there??

A: We do not discriminate, and neither do the festival putters-together, and we hope to see people of every tribe, tongue, and nation at the Gypsy Picnic.  We especially hope that our friends the Romani people will send representatives to sample our vittles.  This way we will taste in a small portion some of the honor we lay at their feet by vending at this festival in their honor.

Q: Will the Gipsy Kings be playing?

A: Not that we know of.  But some other bands will be.

Q: Will Sufjan Stevens be playing?

A: Now you are being ridiculous.

Q: What other mobile vendors will be there?

A: How can you even ask such a question??

Q: I want to pay with a credit card!!

A: Well, that’s nice.  But bring cash anyway.  Also, that was not a question.

Q: Will you have your full menu?

A: Unfortunately, we’ve been compelled to limit it.  But we will still have several regular menu options as well as vegan options.

Q: How will my attendance further the Bananarchist cause?

A: By coming out and supporting us, and voting for us for stuff, you will be helping to educate the public about the validity of the frozen banana as a dessert, which may eventually lead them away from the evil doctrines of Cakeism and Ice Creamism and to the noble and glorious doctrines of Bananarchism.

Gypsy Picnic, Gipsy Kings, Romani people
