Supplementing my first Paseo blog post,
Doug Dawgz Blog: The Paseo , I've added my wife's and my "tour" of the Paseo Arts Festival on a cloudy but great Monday. This is essentially a duplicate of what is found here ...
Doug Dawgz Blog: 2007 Paseo Arts Festival
The 31st Annual Paseo Arts Festival was a smashing success, despite mildly inclimate weather -- temperatures were pleasant and only a mild sprinkling of mist was an inhibitor, perhaps more than "mist" before this cloudy Monday when the pics below were taken! Even if an occasional rainy drizzle fell over the Memorial Day Weekend and prompted many to bring, and need to use, their umbrellas, the art, the performances, and the dawgz, were
absolutely outstanding!
"
Dawgz," you say? Yeah, P.D. Eastman (writer of <i>Go Dog Go!</i>) would have been proud! The pics below do not begin to capture the significantly large audience of dawgz at the 2007 Paseo Arts Festival!

The 31st Annual Paseo Arts Festival was
nothing if it was not a
PARTY, a
BIG Dawgz
PARTY (but, as for me, forget about climbing up to the top of a tree to have a dawgz party in this post ... that just ain't gonna happen ... it was all pretty much happening on the ground, anyway)!
Musicians performed ...
Matt Walsh's Acoustic Blues wowed the audience ...

"Cookie, Cookie, will you lend me your your comb!"
GREAT hair, Matt! Immaculate and evocative! How cool is this?

Matt had better watch out for hair-snippers like Delilah, though ...

The
Suspicious Contra Band knocked the crowd out, too ...

To keep everything on the up-and-up, there were traditional dancers! Yea!
(Doug Dawg is a big supporter of the traditional arts!)

God only knows what they were doing, but, that said ...
STOP! I gotta know right now!
Do you love me? Will you love me forever?
I gotta know right now!
Whoops, got carried away with Meat Loaf ... back on topic ... is this an
"arts" festival,
or what?
Art is much more than pictures/paintings/music.
This event had all bases covered, from the "indoor" ...
