first friday
is an event held in Anchorage every month during which the art galleries around town open up their shops & provide hors d'oeuvres and wine to the public as they make their way though their gallery & around town.
a night out on the town for sophisticated people minus the bar + rich, (expen$ive), beautiful art
or, as we saw it - a free bar crawl around town in fancy boutiques.
it was pretty awesome!
some grapes here, some crackers & cheese there, some fresh spring rolls here
& free wine everywhere.
(sign me up!)
I really did enjoy it & I do plan to go back and visit some of these galleries when they're not packed front to back, left to right with people. I even spoke with a man at one of them earlier in the afternoon about their "local artist" wall where they feature a different artist each month. Well tonight I got to meet the photographer who's work was on display - and this man working there said I might even be able to get my stuff up on their walls. How cool would that be??
who knows!
so if I were to pick an Alaskan "must have" tshirt, this would be it.
I'm gonna have to get one eventually.

I spent all afternoon walking the Coastal Trail that runs along the Cook Inlet.
The sun is out, the sky is blue.
It's beautiful & so are you.

I also live vicariously through your blue sky. You may have sunshine AND snow AND meese (plural of moose....duh) but I have um...lots of flannel shirts? Ya. ;)
It looks beautiful up there. I'm glad you're getting out and about and enjoying yourself! I'm beginning to move out of the "wow! Ohmygosh! everything is so great and new!" and in to "Ok cool, lets hang out, lets chill. Its too cold to run but i'm ok just staying in. Come over and lets be comfortable because thats easy and fun too". I do still want to make more friends though. Point being...yes! I'm so glad you're off to a rolling start....keep it going!
