I'll have scan of Norman Ham's new show of WWII stuff, at Trewin May 15, 16 for Art Walk up next blog, but stop in and see the photography for that one.

Was out and about with favorite friend to meet up with for messing about downtown, enjoyed Senor Taco first of the raffle prizes to use from Mistlin Show. I bought four raffle tickts at the Spring Show opening, won three raffle prizes, so also artel, wine for mom's day dinner I'm cooking.

Went on to Mike Frankel Show at DEVA, where got to see the photography we discussed on Wednesday, and certainly rock history on the walls, and we liked it. Show is up to June 7, and interesting to see, shots done in camera prior to processing, on site at concerts of 60s and 70s. On over then to Queen Bean, music and coffee, then over to see Mary Boutte and Jazz Bros at Clayton's, where we ran into JB, talking to Eric Benson, picking up coconut creme cake for Linda, just back from Blues, Brews and BBQ seeing Tommy Castro. He'd called me, we were already on way elsewhere to dinner, so missed chance to get in with John.

Home to bank the Mistlin show winnings in my category, 2nd and 3rd, Lori Snable the overall Best of Show Winner, and Kate Jackson for hers in mine as winner, Dan Peterson in the other watercolor category, and see rest of listings of winners in SCENE section notes Friday.

Here's note from Patterson Irrigator for Photographers.
