This weekend marks the umpty-umpth (43rd, according to the banner) annual art festival. Divided into two separate shows -- the crifty crafty I can't believe anybody would make this much less buy this show on the south side of the street, and the ultra shi-shi I can't believe anybody would pay those prices for an inlaid wood chess set show on the north side of the street -- the art festival brings many surprises but one big guarantee: rain all weekend.
Be that as it may, the art festival goes on as scheduled, and this year an art festival scavenger hunt has been organized for all those going forth. Below is the official list of
Take a digital picture as proof of your discovery and submit it to pasblog at gmail dog com for verification. Official list and rules are below and also outlined in a bit more coherent manner over at People Are Strange. Void where prohibited. Yada Yada Yada.
Sadly, I will most likely not be participating in the scavenger hunt proper. However, if I get a chance to do some cleaning, I bet I could find a lot of it down in my basement.
