Jason Kihl entertained the crowd at Elmo's with an awesome mix of 80's music. I left earlier than I really wanted to, but, snapped a few shots before I did. What I did hear was AWESOME! 

The weather is warming up, and the locals are stepping out in Bisbee! Saturday night's third annual Art Mart 3 show at Kathleen Pearson's studio in Old Bisbee was great fun! Many old friends and new ones turned out to see the wonderful art by a cast of many... Diane Bombshelter, here from Tucson especially for the show, talks about her amazing black velvet paintings. I love her outfit - especially the roller skates! THREE GIRLS! (That's what they wanted me to mention in my blog) Pat Panther singing and playing guitar Here's Greg behind the bar (and in front of the mysterious window to nowhere) I had to buy one of these awesome sugar sculls by Juliette Beaumont! Entertainment was provided by Pat Panther. Refreshments provided by all! Greg was behind the bar serving up beer and wine. Kate was writing up orders for art (yay!) and looking fab in her Scull pattern dress. Here are just a few shots from the show.  Thanks, Kate! It was a pleasure taking part in Art Mart 3! (I ...

I'm pretty sure we're in store for more wind. But, today...right now...it's thankfully a bit still!

Well, we made quite a spectacle, wearing our shiny garb and walking up Brewery Gulch toward the mountain trek up to the Shrine today at high noon.  Satan was in attendance, but Big Brass was keeping him in check. Still, since Chew Mee (I mean Satan) brought the explosives, we had to be careful.... Louise was there all dolled up for Easter, but, all she cared about was drinking the Limoncello... The HCA was represented, giving their blessing to the strange ritual about to take place. And, then...Andre was put out of his misery. Yes, I know that you folks don't know about Andre. There's a good reason for that - Andre was laid at my doorstep by Chew Mee, after I was chosen to give him sanctuary while he "slept". You need to check out Louise's Blog for more information about that. For now, my work here is done!

Bollywood Style...

Ok, I'm kidding ...but, Main Street was closed to traffic today for the Copper Classic Car Show. It was quite the display of fancy, shiny, colorful cars, hot rods, low riders and a few dust covered and otherwise rusted vehicles. I kinda liked it.  After about 20 minutes of wandering among the cars with my camera, it began to snow a bit and I headed home. Later it poured for a few minutes, giving way to brilliant Arizona sunshine. Not much more to report, as I decided to hole up at home for the rest of the afternoon & evening. What can I say? Cold weather makes me want to hibernate! Happy Oestre, all!

This evening I went out with bisbohemian & his lovely wife to Terry Wolf's Full Moon gathering in the desert. It's a good thing we rode out in their jeep, since the road was rocky and bumpy the whole way once we got off the main road. But, wow, was it worth it! Terry's "off the grid" property is magical. We all gazed out at the several mountain ranges we could see from our comfy spots around the big bonfire. And, as the Full Pink Moon rose, we got to howling, setting off the wolves Terry owns.  The party is probably still going on...we just have early mornings tomorrow. But, at least we got to hear a couple of songs around the crackling fire. So nice!

It's been a few days since I've posted anything on my blog. So, I'm making up for lost time by posting a couple of photos from a place I visited today with a friend - the Coronado National Memorial . WOW...pretty dramatic country in these parts! I looked down across the vast landscape that encompassed both Arizona and Mexico...and, I could practically hear the hoof-beats of horses long past, and explorers discovering (and often dying for it) a new land. Amazing!

So, this morning I'm searching for the perfect YouTube video to accompany my post (filler, I say! I'm still a bit stumped as to what to say...guess I need to get out there and find new material). And, everything is upside down! Oh, by the way, check the date on your calendar. Not only is it APRIL 1ST - it's...you guessed it...APRIL FOOL'S DAY! Here are the instructions for viewing the new YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/t/new_viewing_experience
