off to the fall gallery walk

I have been looking forward to the Fall Gallery Walk this year for many reasons...

first, it's already been a year since the last one and I am glad and grateful that my friendship with Natalia (she was the one who even introduced me to the idea of the river north gallery walk affair) has deepened and grown so much over the last year. I have a lot of friends, but not a lot of girlfriends, and I love that Natalia is so many things to me, a friend to talk to on the phone, a friend to giggle with, a girl friend to shop with, someone to talk to about art and life with. I have always said the best thing about working at Starbucks was meeting Natalia and I am always certain that statement is true every time I think of her.

second, I love the idea of fresh art, the buzz of energy around the galleries, the free wine and nibbles of food laid out. It is like one big revolving door of a party that every one is into and having a good time. And it's not contained to one gallery, it's not in Lincoln Park, it's full of lots of people I wish I could get to know as well as I've gotten to know Natalia...

so. I'll let you know when my post goes up at chicagoarts.blogspot.com
