I was one of a few singer/songwriters performing in the breezeway areas connecting the buildings. I did not make it to any of the galleries but there was a huge crowd. Check out www.youtube.com/lukeaustindaugherty for my Celtic Improv "unplugged." It was a cool gig. Check out "Robbing the Bank" on May 2nd 6pm-9pm at the Art Bank on 811 Mass. Ave. during First Friday activities. Along with the visual art, I will be anchoring a Bohemian style jam session. Hope to see you there.

It was one more night I knew I could do something else. I support the artists there but I think there are much more visually riveting experiences in this city than this. Don't mean to break any hearts but the percentage of good stuff is not so good. The community supports this huge event because it gets people in from the 'burbs but it is a means, not an end. I hope.

Great art, great location and great people watching! I'm glad they added a one-piece show on the first floor. I've never been able to get to all the studios I want to - this way I can at least get a sampling of all the artists.

I'm very excited about going.

Another weekly newspaper had an article about it that made it sound like it was all about the alcohol in years past saying it had a "Mardi Gras atmosphere". We never got that feeling. Sure, there are libations but it never felt like a booze-fest. It is good art presented in an unintimidating way.
