What a great night we had.

After we closed shop at einmaleins, we walked around a bit, to take in the atmosphere downtown.

It was really awesome!

Considering everything that we should be thinking about the event, downtown and safety, the economy, Bush and Riots and Karma and everything in between. It was cool to meet new people, friendly people. People being excited about being out in downtown on a Friday night.

The Black Front Gallery had a great show and their place was humming.

Many stores that I hadn't connected with in regards of First Friday were open, their stores lit up new shop owners were gracious hosts and showed us their space and welcomed us in.

Ahhh,

it's a good time to be in Downtown Olympia!

I agree!

I rode my bike around downtown last night for a while. I really like clear friday nights.

I Took A Bunch of Kids Down to The Eagles Club

last night for the All City Dance and was impressed with how lit up & alive downtown looked!  I saw that gallery buzzing with people and wished I had stopped in!

Ehver Green and I walked from around the corner

to the Brotherhood and didn't get mobbed by fans.  Well we were mobbed by a strange group AT the Brotherhood.

No autographs please!

Nice Time

It was truly a nice time.  It was great to meet all of you!  I'd met Rob once before at B&R but got to meet Larry, Meta, Phil, Jason, Jim, and Christine.  Christine?  Have no idea who she was.  But, she made Larry blush.

Oh crap, a legacy

EG has got one on me for Ehver now!
