The Great Googa Mooga
- David and I went to the first annual GGM in Prospect Park, Brooklyn -
- GGM is a food and wine festival that offers local cuisine and music to attendees -
- Mother in Law’s Kimchi, Champagne by Terry Theise, and Milk Bar’s cereal milk ice cream were my favorite vendors -
– the best musical performance at GGM was by Peelander-Z, a Japanese group -
- the five band members dress in bright colors and look like they’ve stepped out of a comic book -
- at one point, one band member jumped rope and did the limbo in a squid costume -
