    Long lines still at the five food trucks tonight at Dinnerware. I stood in the MaFooCo one with Penelope Starr (“Telling Stories” blogger), waiting for Korean tacos or Kimchi Quesadillas (not sure what she was going to order).  A guy told us the pineapple jalapeno popsicle was terrific from the Cyclopsicle cart.  Also chatted with David Safier (Blog for AZ) and Mac Hudson (Ward 1 Council aide).  Terrific, well attended event in downtown, with art, music & family fun. Hope David Aguirre repeats it.

      Thanks for letting us know. I had planned to make it down there but instead ended up at Tucson Tamale Company after doing the Pit n’ Proud walk around Reid Park.
      I am hoping that this will be a regular monthly event.

    Dinnerware is located on the NE corner of 7th Avenue, just east of Stone Avenue.  Thanks for blogging on this new fun event.
