Dre’s Ramblings

People seemed to find any way possible to get to Artwalk 2006, as pictured above. From conversations with artists throughout most of the festival site, it would be fair to say that this was one of the most successful years ever for the event.

We already talked about the Urban Reversi game played earlier in the day. There were also Hummer limos, artists from throughout the state and the region and crowds that came from all over the country. The images that many people left with afterwards was an idea of what the downtown area could look like in a few years if the return to urban living continues. It would be great to see a crowd like this everyday:

Wouldn’t it?

Let me know what you think…

More images in a little bit via Flickr and Smugmug.

Cheers.

Yesterday’s early post included information about the Urban Reversi game being played throughout the Artwalk site and the City Center of Birmingham today. The images above are of the two teams that took part in the first game this morning.

If you’re interested in seeing how the game’s played, there may still be time left to come downtown and see firsthand as an afternoon game is played (enjoying the art of Artwalk as well). You may also click here to see the game in progress.

We’re in the process of postings images from this morning to the Flickr account. You may also want to check out the Urban Reversi group on Flickr as the pictures from the morning game are posted (they’ll be posted there as well).

Don’t forget Brooklyn, you’re next, with a game demonstration set for next Saturday in Williamsburg. You may even see me attempt to come home to the Big Apple to get in on the fun. If you can’t make it to New York or downtown Birmingham today (and if I can’t find a cheap flight), there’s always the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival later on this month.

More later,

Cheers.
