First Friday, ya say?

People, music, food, and art, what a splendid way to spend a Friday evening.  Prior to this past Friday's Art Walk, I've never attended.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the array of individuals that brushed past me as I made my way to and from. 

I was taken aback because in a world where everyone is so isolated, everyone in the community was mingling amongst each other.  Parents and their toddlers mingling with the hipsters, and yuppies mingling with the street vendors.

It was a treat.

I just wish this was the Oakland portrayed in the news.
