Last night I went with some friends to do the First Friday Art Walk along Santa Fe Drive in Denver. Apparently the first Friday of each month this happens in different spots with different galleries around town.

This was something I had heard of before, but never really took advantage of until a friend texted me yesterday asking if I wanted to go.

I was particularly impressed with a lot of the art, especially the Kanon Collective (right), although there certainly was a fair amount of bad art there as well.

Truthfully though, what I may consider to be bad art, others may consider it a masterpiece. But there was only so many landscapes I could take last night before I needed to just totally and completely avoid the galleries with that type of art in favor of enjoying the beautiful night by people watching, which was excellent.

There were all kinds of people out enjoying the night and the art. Everyone from goths to yuppie grandparents were strolling along having a good time, making it that much more interesting of a time for me.

And while I seemed to hit an art overdose after about three hours, I would most certainly do this again. It was a great time on a beautiful night with a fun atmosphere and, most importantly, free booze at many of the galleries.

Of course, when you're selling paintings for $2,500+, I think you can afford a few bottles of wine.
