First Friday Art Truck Show I was Dressed UP! Friday September 4th we had an art truck. We had costumes. Some people put these on and were photographed. This is the proof. Check them out at MENSK's new FLickr Page.
Thanks everyone who participated in the Dark Arts Truck for last night's First Friday. Drawing in the dark is no walk in the park, especially under a one minute time constraint, but our brave and trusting artists produced excitement again and again out of the void. Check back Monday for a gallery of all the pieces.
Last night's Drum Truck was an absolute and total blast. Aside from the long and unmoving line at U-haul there were little to no hitches ...omitting the constantly blaring horn at Tommy's Park when it became stuck. It was a while before we found that perfect combination of punches and curses that would stop its wail. There were cops everywhere we went, but never for us. At Longfellow square a squad car pulled up right behind us. I ran to him waving my permit saying "I bet you wanna talk to me. We DO have a permit." He looked puzzled and said, "What? No, someone got laid out across the street. I'm not here for you." I said "...oh, well... we have a permit." He said "Great, have fun."
