Maybe it's a first-timer's perspective or a non-art connoisseur, however, I could conclude that the event was awesome.
I didn't mind the ticket price or the slightly drizzly weather.
The museums and the stops, the art exhibit and even the slightly confusing bus ride was definitely worth the time, effort and my slightly annoying phobia for crowds.
I'm pretty sure some people were there for the raves of being seen and being on print or the telly. But it was still nice to see kids there, learning more of history, appreciating local art...and even a few couples who made it a date night.
Love the art work exhibit at sacred heart Church, our last stop before we headed to IT Park for a very late dinner or too early breakfast with Lane.
I hope I could attend again next year and be more prepared despite the "tourist" look I probably would be sporting again.
