The previous post was from Thursday night: a reception and awards ceremony for the artists and for anyone else who wanted to spend $50.00 per ticket to get in...

Friday night was the free opening for the public... they estimated close to 8,000 people came to the show from the time they opened (6 PM) to closing (somewhere around 11 PM). There's a couple people interested in buying Michael's painting. I hope he sells it, to offset the cost of the frame!
