First Thursday (May 2009)

So I was cleaning out old photos from my microSD card in my G1. They were photos that I had taken when I owned a Blackberry Curve. Anyway, I found this group of pictures of when Tausha and I went to participate in First Thursday. This was in May 2009, mind you. So they're a little old. But Tausha and I had fun.

We had to start our evening with the usual tasty treats from downtown. It really doesn't get any better than this: A pita from the Pita Pit (Falafel with sprouts, hummus and tzatziki sauce of course), croquettes from the Basque Bar and Carmel Apple Cider with extra whip from Starbucks.

We then headed over to The Modern Hotel. This hotel was remodeled and opened for the public to see. The hotel opened thirty-four rooms, with more than 65 visual and performance artists to display their talent. It was pretty cool. I did not get any pictures of the insides of the rooms and how the artists diplayed their stuff. There were rather interesting ways how the artists "took over" the rooms. Some of them prominently displayed their talent, others just made their room look "lived in" like their room was their art studio.

When Tausha and I were walking back to our car, we saw these, just sitting on a business window ledge outside. We thought it was hilarious.

And, of course, you can't go downtown and not climb on this and try to look cool.

Isn't she so cute?
