Dan Logan and I drove down to Midtown for Second Saturday. First stop was Spanglish Arte, which was still organizing for the night. We were a little early. They have a lots of cool art there, so check it out on 23rd near I St. if you are in town. Only one of Monica's pieces was out, which was of some concern...

20th St. Gallery (on, you guessed it, 20th St.) was really good this time, fantastic paintings of clouds and landscapes by Dennis Stanford, check out Tobin Rodman while you're there. The Viewpoint (2015 J St.) featured amazing photography by Bob Fera, Mike Mayda, and Terry Nathan. The center of the gallery held Nathan's photos of smoke spirals influenced by microcurrents, chaos theory in action. On the perimeter, Fera and Mayda's fantastic images of galaxies and nebulae. This is why I wanted to be a space explorer when I was a kid - I never understood why it was such a bad thing for the Robinsons to be "Looooost iiiiiin Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace".

We also hung out with Pastor Becky and Co. at Midtown Friends Community, where they gave away free cookies made with Fair Trade ingredients (which Dan had helped bake the night before)! All 200 cookies were gone by the end of the night. Monica - earlier in the day - had drawn a picture of herself holding art. When life imitated art, I had to capture it (see photo above)!
