It would be nice if the pdf was set up for copy and pasting, but its not.

Also, Joey over at urbanjacksonville.com is reporting that this will be the last art show in the Basement of the old Hayden Burns Library. Thats a shame as the guy doing all of the coordination for that show is pretty much a one man wunderkind.
I suppose it also means that Rinaman and Co. are finally getting the construction going, which is good news in another way.

Yes, definitely. I'll take that trade off as long as things don't stall out later.
I absolutely love the shows down in the library basement... from the art to the music to the break dancing to the skateboarding... It is a very cool setting!!
agree w/ BridgeTroll...that's my favorite "venue" during Art Walk.
My favorite too. Looking forward to tonight... haven't been in a couple months. It'd be cool to do a MJ rendezvous. Anyone up for a meet & greet?
I wandered through briefly...something felt a bit off tonight, not sure why, so I didn't stay long. Didn't have the same vibe; it was probably just the grey skies. Anybody else have a different experience?
I thought it was a great crowd tonight....especially given the heat/humidity....London Bridge and Burrito Gallery were overflowing at 7pm
