First Friday in Phoenix


Anyway, First Friday tonight, right around dark-thirty, me and Liz. We will also go to Fused Jewels, she has a table set up. That’s where I got the fused glass Xmas deco’s at such a good price. She’s a real craftsman with glass.
I didn’t see any watches, IWC Big Pilot though. But why not? You can find anything else.

If you come to Phoenix and the weather is great, be sure to go to First Friday. What is First Friday?, you ask.
First Friday is only the most fun evening ever! It’s like what the renaissance fairs used to be, with artisans and crafters, entertainers and buskers, hippies, neo-hippies, sightsee-ers, rastas, students, old folk, young folk, in-between folk, dancers, actors, show-offs, vendors and just plain looky-loos. What you won’t find there is bored people. There is nothing boring about First Friday.
All the shops along Roosevelt around seventh avenue are open. There are a lot of galleries in that district (the arts district) and they all are open until late at night, too. It’s a real eye-full.
You’ll find the world’s greatest bead shop open. I just looked all over for their address, but I swear I’ll pick up a card tonight. They always have a big table full of $2.00 strings of beads, a real bargain. I have been getting beads with holes big enough for the twisted wire thingys, but now I think I want some beads to use on a quilt in the tie-through knot. Tie them on with a real strong knot and they won’t break free in the wash. Not good for baby blankets, though, babies can chew through anything.
