“It’s time to leave when the white guys start to dance.”

You never lived untill you have seen middle aged aged women LINE dancing to a well played version of Prince’s P^$$y Control. Especially if it is at Foresters in McCall on a cold Saturday night.

Thanks Miss Liss for the adventure.

Can’t  seem to confirm the rumor the Mike Fitzgerald has sold the Tablerock Brewery to The Nelson Brothers of construction fame. They did the remodel so there is a connection and their have been a lot of bar stool speculation about the restaurants fate of late.

This old Hot Springs building is between Jackpot and Wells. Been meaning to take a look for years. Was hoping for a sunrise that didn’t come. Found some interesting angles anyway. Hope you enjoy.

   January 1st, 2009 at 11:01 am eThat is 8th street looking north.
   The brick building on the right is the current public library.

   January 1st, 2009 at 12:47 pm eThat is the library on the right. This is 8th looking toward 8th street market place. It where the turnaround is and the Anne Frank Memorial. I park here all the time.
3. Skelly Says: 
   January 1st, 2009 at 4:57 pm eYou’re correct. On the right, that’s the building that became part of the new Boise public library. Go to the Anne Frank monument and compare this to today’s view.
4. Rick O Says: 
   January 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pm eEveryone is right, of course. The Library gives it away. Additional details:
   - The two structures opposite 8th Street from the library (U.S. Plywood and the little free-standing house) are still there, but will not survive the eventual Library Blocks redevelopment.
   - The tallish broad structure a few blocks in the distance is the old Eastman Building, way before its abandonment and arson.
   - Sticking up behind it, the slender top of the Hoff.

My New Years resolution? Noooo resolutions!

January 4th, 2009

After a successful Christmas gallery showing. The artists of Art for Art have decided to make a go of it full time.

For something like A4A success comes in many ways. Not only did we all cover the costs of being open and make a little money on the side, we found a camaraderie and energy not often discovered.

From nurturing 1st time exhibitors to the synergy that come comes form different creative types discussing the challenges and triumphs of being an artist. In a world that is more and more gobal and corporate, this success stands out. Oh, and did I mention the recession.

We also able to help the next generation of local artists by contributing over $500 to Arte Faire.

So here is the bottom line. Beginning Friday January 16th Art for Art will be open full time.

In Vista Village-1002 Vista.

Unique ,  hand crafted and local are the what works. We will expand a little to include a wider varity of high quality local art and gifts. Including some speciality food and a few more gift items.

Watch this space for more info.

Thanks to Melissa and everyone else who have put so much energy and time into this. A special thanks to the landlady for helping us along.
