Mission accomplished!

On Friday, as part of a super-busy weekend containing two art shows (though I missed one of them), two birthday parties (made it to both), meetings and a Wintersleep concert (okay, well, it sounded busy to me), I went to one of the art shows.

The original plan was to go with a friend who had to bail on me that morning and, failing to find anyone else, I decided to follow a piece of the vast amount of advice I've been given, which is to start going to events on my own. Apparently, as they tell me, Newfoundlanders are very friendly and I'll meet lots of people in no time. Seems reasonable enough and I really did want to see the tilt-shift photography.

So I went, walked around, looked at the pictures (there's an amazing one of diggers at a construction site) and walked around some more. People showed up, saw their friends and talked and talked. 

In the end, one person did talk to me with the precise words of "Four dollars please" and then I walked off with my beer. Mission accomplished!
