A couple of friends and I went down to Cherokee St. today to check out the goings on at the Print League Holiday Sale. We parked at Mud House (which was rockin', not surprising since their coffee is rad) and walked all the way down to Compton and back. There were a lot of people on the street today and I was happy to see a lot of purchasing, even though art seems like a novelty most of the time in St. Louis. Stopped by Firecracker to visit with my friend Matty, and ran into another old printmaking chum Brooke there. Visited for a while, watched an exhilirating letterpress woodblock printing demo, and fleeced since time was limited. Went to All Along Press to see how things were going there (none of my bags had sold yet, boo). Bounced across the street to Snowflake to visit my darling, and tallented artist herself, Angela. Headed back east, stopped at one more place that I don't know the name of, and headed home. There's a lot of cool art for sale down there this weekend. Wish we would have had time to stop at Cranky Yellow, which is always fun, and Fort Gondo, but we had to get home so we could go to our mundane jobs. It's going on tomorrow too. If anybody actually reads this (which is doubtful at this point) you should really check it out! It's a nice walk and lots of good stuff.
