interesting characters

i ventured into phoenix by train tonight, excited to attend 

my first, "first friday" event. first friday is an art walk

held in downtown phoenix on the first friday of each 

month. thousands were out touring galleries, studios,

 cafes, coffee shops and pubs. the vibe was fantastic; 

the artwork, wide-ranging; musicians played in the streets 

and on porches, and there were more than a few

interesting characters out and about.
