17th Street Festival - A blast!

Saturday was cloudy but it didn't rain! It took a bit long for the tents to be set up but the festival went well. It was very well organized, many thanks to the committee members and volunteers.
Sitting around was not much fun, especially with the mosquitoes out in force, but people-watching on 17th Street was a blast. A few friends came to visit and help, and I met some interesting personalities. Maybe I'll join again next year!  

17th Street Festival Art Show, September 24, 2011

I was accepted to participate in the art show of the 2011 17th Street Festival Art Show in Washington, DC on Saturday, September 24, from 2 - 6 pm.  This is my first time to join the festival so I am excited and nervous at the same time.  My husband will be away on a fishing trip so I dared to ask a friend to pick me up (and tons of stuff) and help me set up.  She was very kind to agree but she'll have to leave at 3 pm.  I will be on my own after that.  Then there is the problem of getting me and my stuff home.  I plan to take a cab, of course.  Hopefully, some of the art festival people will help me lug my paintings and stuff to the cab.  Oh dear...  What a big worry!  I hope all goes well.
