September 2014 First Friday Art Walk in Bend, Oregon

I wanted to go downtown tonight. It was a beautiful night, in the low 80s. I tried my secret parking spot but it was full, so I was forced to park about three blocks away. Everyone in town was thinking like me.


It was more about the people watching tonight than viewing the art or drinking the free booze...
