Arts Council Volunteer award

Merle rotated and replaced my tires in one day! Woot!
I went to the Strega for gnocci and then went to see the downtown arts walk on James Street put on by the Arts Council. The new Mayor was there, and Charles Gervais, and Virginia Hatch, and a whole bunch of others. The Arts Council had a volunteer appreciation award waiting for but I don't know specifically for what since I was mowing down fluffy pillows of potato pasta when they were handing the awards out formally. Rob had Maja Bannerman doing a performance at the Fine Grind, as well as the Art Under Glass, Stephanie Jones did sampler theatre performances at the spectacle shop across the street, Ernest has his Lego paintings (real lego to make Apple icons!) at the CRAM Gallery, and Suitcase in Point performed at a jewellery shop, and Elizabeth Chitty was at another. There was more, but I can't remember everyone.
Then off to see the Screamin Black Cadillacs at the Merchant Ale House. One customer had a bottle of Budweiser on the table and got busted since the place only serves beer from a tap.
