I went to this last year, and it was packed, but we had a good time. Not the greatest music but you can drink beer in the street and people watch, including all the trendsters dressed to impress, waiting in line to get into Sugar and Spice.

thanks for the warning.

might be the type of place where i'd want to commit suicide.

Well on the upside they serve beer out on the street and many of the North Market vendors set up food booths, so you eat well, get your drink on, and then hop over to Gallery Hop!
