This is the only festival I go to here. I go for the food! Park a Gulf Power building, ride my bike. Buy some fried oysters, walk around. Buy fried shrimp, walk around some more. Ride the bike downtown.

Two yrs ago, there was a lady selling homemade fudge. Awesome. She wasn't there last yr or sold out early before I got there. The food is pricey but its a fun outing.

I'm trying to work it into my executive schedule for this Saturday. Don't tell anyone, but there is a rumor that Bob (NaughtBob himself) may be there. I like the food, the crowds, the art, the trinkets displayed, the beer, the crowds, did I say crowds?

I'm a people watcher and had a great time at my first Gallery Night a few weeks back. I am easily entertained.
