I will admit these types of events don’t lend themselves particularly well to recaps. I will however list and briefly describe the highlights of the event from my point of view.

I was kind of concerned I’d have trouble finding the gallery at first. This was my first visit here and, yes, it’s a few blocks from the bus route. Hint: Blossom Street (the street itself) is the next street south of Floyd Street, the cross street south of Block 7 Wine Company. So if you have been to Block 7 before, you pretty much know where the Blossom Street Gallery is already.

I got to meet Levi Rosen, Michael Craft (very briefly), and Melissa Watson (who runs the Blossom Street Gallery). I have nothing but good things to say about all three or for that matter anyone else I met tonight (and I don’t remember that many names, but I did talk to a few other people despite my relatively shy mood).

I, of course, got to see a lot of great art, particularly the paintings of Levi Rosen and the photography of Sam Li and Michael Craft. Really though, I can’t think of a single piece there I wouldn’t be proud to have on my wall. Without being too specific, there are pieces there for any budget (and I have seen some truly stratospheric prices for artwork at other events I have been to). Some even take up a relatively small amount of wall space if that is at a premium for you.

I have pictures as do others; I got to meet two other photographers who were mere guests at the reception. Combined with the Second Seating event, I have enough for a quite massive upload to Flickr now. It’s just a question of free time…
