art roar

The First friday Oakland Art murmur has become a roar.The news whispered to trendy ears has grown to a giant monthly block party that my images won't truly represent.You won't hear the beat coming from the DJ set-up on the sidewalk in front of MamaBuzz, you won't feel the heat in the packed galleries,or taste the free almonds at the table of letterpress, jewelry and magnets.But, you might get a sense of the trends:lots of small art pieces put interestingly on walls, sangria a gogo,pretty galeristas,and odd surprises like a jelled mustached man cranking an old machine,palying 78's.
