Actually, there were a few creatures stirring. La Festa Italiana organizers hired security guards to keep an eye on Courthouse Square during the overnight hours. They really lucked out this year. It was chilly, but dry, and they seemed to be having a great time.
Plus, they let us park our van wherever we wanted. No worries. We would be long gone, and out of the way by the time the party started rolling.
I always get questions on the odd hours I work. Most of the time, it really isn't all that bad. It does have its charm-- and no traffic.
