If you’re not heading to the Dog and Pony Sight and Sound poster show Friday, you should probably be thinking about going to one of the First Friday’s.

First Friday in Springfield
Springfield’s First Friday will be held at 1624 Perry Street. From the SPAR Forum:

The space is 6000SF so we will have lots of space to mingle. We will have karaoke set up in the loft so it is going to be FUN! Some food, alcohol and setups will be provided. Bring the usual and your folding chairs.

By the usual, I’m assuming absinthe and bongs. I’m kidding! Disclaimer: my wife’s parents are the ones selling this house. They have sold the top floor, two left! Here’s the flyer for what we all affectionately refer to as The Perry House. Photos!

Read what I wrote in my previous post.

no one wants to listen to your stupid ass comments.

get a life, douche.

Johnny, thanks for the ringing endorsement of interacting with people online. I'm sure many folks will be more compelled to discuss this and other issues given your thoughtful feedback. That, and you're a soft bottom that couldn't intimidate a stray kitten cornered in a dark alley.

It looks like this may be a pretty sensitive subject. Sounds like I better keep a pretty low profile. The SRG Goon Squad, the Springfield Gay Mafia, or Realtors with plenty of time on their hands might come after me.*

Shut up Michael.

stupid ass.

I forgot to add the following caveat:

The closest to redemption some of the recent First Fridays came was the inclusion of Shaan Batten's design effects/elements/whatever. I suggest heading right over to Nest Living in Five Points and buy two of everything.

On an unrelated note, I was just thinking how Guinness is my favorite beer...

Regarding First Fridays in S-field:

Notwithstanding Joey's disclaimer and the fact that it looks like a VERY beautiful house, can't Springfield consistently find at least ONE house per month that is actually occupied by its owners?

And no, I'm not offering to host First Friday with my piece of shit house (I would prefer to not poison my neighbors with lead), but there are a few thousand other homes in the historic district to choose from, so I feel confident that 12 can be secured on an annual basis.

Don't get me wrong, I, like many people, like checking out houses/spaces on the market, but First Friday in Springfield has become more of a marketing ploy that a legit. 'hood house party.

Conversation at a recent First Friday:

"Uh.....I really like your....uh....stainless appliances and other fixtures...uh...looks like your contractor did a good job painting [insert uncomfortable silence]. Uh...thanks for the import beer"

@adam (not beaugh) it is a good tagline. It's a riot!
