Funkytown’s Mayfest
seen on bank of Trinity River north of FW
On drive to work recently, I saw this promo for Fort Worth’s mayfest. Painted in yellow on the banks of Trinity River just north of FW. You can see the Courthouse building in the background, and yet another sign of future growth (construction crane.) Mayfest is next week. We missed the other well-known Arts Festival last week. These two back to back events make Funkytown a happening place!!!

Montgomery’s new ward
"inside" the plaza
Check out the website for Montgomery Plaza, located 0.5 miles west of downtown Fort Worth. This picture was taken on a rainy day, but a great cool plaza with shops, residences, and eateries.

2009 Cowtown T-shirt and logo
I have survived. The Cowtown run was great. Over 17K people participated. I ran the half-marathon last year, and truly a quite scenic run through the arts, museum, college districts…very uniqe. ( I couldn’t take pictures while running, so the T-shirt logo will have to suffice.) Go to the website and check it out…race weather was few degrees above freezing with a crazy wind chill. Fun, nonetheless.

Arts Fifth Avenue
evening shot of studio
Earlier this evening, I had a chance to check out few of the many classes offered at Arts Fifth Avenue near downtown FW. More specifically, I took a djembe class. It was a pleasure learning from well-known percussionist Eddie Dunlap. Tonight made me realize that sometimes you just have to go out and seek things. I’m glad my wife found the website through some local mag, and investigated this cool local arts center. Classes offered included tap dance, hip-hop, jazz, etc. The Mondo Drummers signage you see next to the center name is Dunlap’s percussion troupe.
