WELCOME ~ 2010 ~
Goodbye 2009, it’s been swell. Starting out the new year right by attending the Phoenix First Fridays Art Walk. I had my camera on some strange setting and so the photos that I took are closer to how I really see things since I developed “dancing eyes” due to the brain surgeries. I usually take photos so that I can upload them onto my computer, where the screen and scene is stationary. That way I can see what I missed or couldn’t see while I was there. When things or I am in motion, it is next to impossible for me to focus on anything. It is very trippy and inconsistent so sometimes are better than others. I guess it is like that damn box of chocolates, “I never know what I’m going to get”!
The art scene was rockin’ tonight. LOTS of music and, of course, art. I have noticed an increase of beautiful, young, hippie, free spirited people and VW buses and VW bugs. Lots and Lots of dreads and cool wool hats. This makes my heart sing.It is always so great to see people bringing their dogs out, too. It just keeps getting better all the time.
There is a large police presence now and they are cruising through the crowds on their big, brown horses. Actually, the horses are very cool to watch. I think that would be a great job for a horse, you know, if you were a horse who had to have a job. They get to walk around and see art and hear music and check out all of the groovy people!
So, it is 2010 and what a wonderful way to welcome a new year. Embraced by the downtown Phoenix art love. I did get 2 free hugs, by the way (I LOVE the Free Hug people)! So….2010….. bring on the sights and sounds and magic of the arts! I hope to ride this wave all the way into the shore and beyond.
Enjoy!
