Farrington Smith Gallery

So I like the action movies, I gotta admit, and I made Adam go see the latest with me earlier in the week.

Then at 4:30 last night, I wake up because he’s sitting bolt upright in bed looking out the window saying, “Wow! It’s incredible! WOW! Oh my God, it’s just amazing!”

So then I’m fully awake, fumbling for my glasses, not sure if whatever is so amazing is GOOD amazing or BAD amazing…and I’m saying, “What? What is it?”

Adam says dismissively, “Oh, it’s this implant they put in my eye.” And he lays his head back down on the pillow, mumbles in response to my furthur questions, and is sound asleep in less than 30 seconds.

I get up and play on the computer until the adrenaline in my system dissipates. So I’m a little tired today, but I won’t argue if you say it’s fair payback.

This Friday, April 28th, the Royal St. art district will be celebrating After Fest from 6-10 p.m.

Lots of galleries are participating; come look at some art, walk around the good old French Quarter and have a drink. We will all be there in our newly spiffed-up gallery; Scott and I have been repainting and Scott has been rearranging. It’s looking great, if I do say so myself!

Also, in this week’s Gambit, our local weekly paper, you can see one of our fish prints on the Shop Around Town page. I haven’t seen it yet, but a friend called to say she thought it looked very eye-catching.

Adam and Scott are working on getting a new round of prints ready for the Jazz Fest crowds we hope will be here for the next two weekends. I think I’m going to Jazz Fest for the first time ever on Sunday, so I’ll post about that next week!

ETA in May: I never really posted about Jazz Fest, but I went one day both weekends, and I sort of get it now…even though I still don’t like crowds or sun without shade. But I imagine I’ll go again. Elvis Costello was great playing with Alan Toussaint and I had about 3 different amazing snacks involving crawfishies.
