We've had a few cream puffs this week at State Fair, but that hasn't diminished our desire to tell you about cool stuff that caught our eye. We start with some good seats at the ol' ballpark and follow up with notes about a Michael Jackson book, a decadent East Side dish, a fun backyard toy, a great loaf of local bread and a cool place to find cheap (and sometimes reliable) merchandise.

A party for your classic holiday sweater
I tried to determine if this was indeed a Sunday morning Christmas party or possibly the remnants of an all night party the night before. Either way, the group was complete with Santa Clause in a stuffed suit, gaudy sweaters matched with pink sweat pants, sleeveless snowman vests with bare arms and turtlenecks or dickeys covering every neck.

Red Dot offers budget-friendly eats in Mama's old space
Red Dot features a small and spendthrift-friendly menu of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. Red Dot also offers kids' menus, but the small space readily retains cigarette smoke, and we would think twice before bringing children along here for dinner.
