Anyone go to the CityArts Festival?

I missed it this weekend. It would’ve been a great Mother’s Day thing to do, you know, if your Mom’s into that kind of thing.  Anyways, if you went, I’m curious to hear about it. Let me know.

The reason I missed it: I was in Little Rock (beautifully pictured on the left) attending a show by Romallice, a band whom David plays bass for. They played at Cajun’s Wharf , a very cool place right off of the river. Most of the place was a wooden patio. Little Rock actually reminds me of a blend between the West End and Bishop Arts District, but with a river. … I took three whole photos with my phone while I was there. See them under “Gallery.”

Since I was but, I missed a couple of things — the CityArts Festival, for one. I also missed a gallery walk on Dragon Street, as well as some openings in Oak Cliff. But I still have time make up for them. If you’re in the same boat I’m in, you can still catch some of the art. Some of the things I plan on visiting:

If you’re looking for something (besides the above) to do this weekend, the 9th Annual 24-Hour Video Race will commence at the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station @ 11:50 p.m. Friday. Teams have 24 hours to create a short film. These videos will be screened May 18-20 at the theater.

Alright, kids. Take care.

By the way…

This one, for some reason, is taking me awhile to do. Please refer to my older site, Valerie Wong Art, to check out some old pieces.

Wow… This is Kinda Embarassing

I haven’t blogged in a week. My excuse (but not really an excuse at all): I’ve been really, really tired. I posted some photos of the White Rock Local Market that attended over a week ago.

It was my first time. And don’t get me wrong; The White Rock Local Market happens multiple times a month at Green Spot Market. My friend and I biked there one day for practice to get a feel for it. You know, just in case we’d feel like biking to the market sometime. We learned the hard, painful lesson of the huge uphill back home (between Northcliff Drive and Garland Road). There’s a chance  I might be going back this Saturday if I can wake up early enough. Anyways, I bought some delish, buttery lemon cookies from Wackym’s Kitchen. Can’t wait to buy her cornmeal cookies next time I go — tried them and they were amazing. The description on the site says that there’s supposed to be art, although I didn’t see any this past weekend. Well, I plan on revisiting and I’ll keep you guys updated.

Oh yeah, let me know if there are any upcoming events worth checking out. Until next time…
