The Giraffe's Name is Sydney, by the way.

Last Friday we got our art on.

We met some friends downtown for First Fridays and the ArtsTech benefit.

We browsed and noshed and perused and were seen and saw and mixed and mingled and toured and bought and actually scored some B-List Huey Lewis rock star parking.

Old men wearing red cowboy boots wandered between the galleries.

A gang of hula hoopers paraded up the block.

A wooden motorcycle parked outside of The Mojo Collection.

Live, walking, fish-netted advertisements for June First Fridays caught our attention.

Models with Amy Winehouse bouffant hair strutted the makeshift runway.

And we saw a lot of art. I actually ran smack into this piece, hung a little low.

And we took home a giraffe wearing a beret and a monocle. It was a good night.

Thanks to Joe for most of the photos, as usual.
