It's time again for First Friday in Downtown.

Just a week after Arts Walk, we barely cured the post-arts-walk-hang-over, and we're already preparing the next party in town.

Everyday Olympia has the details on participating locations.

Featured at einmaleins will be Hatched Egg'rs
This one is for the families. (Read: Please bring your Kids!!)
You gotta come and see Scott Anderson’s “Stuff for Kid’s Rooms”.
It’s fantastic and now available at einmaleins.


Of course, the usual refreshments and fun will be provided.

See ya in Downtown.

A friendly gnome by the name of Olim just “walked in” to visit us at einmaleins.

He’s from Gnomediaries.com and comes with a special message about climate change and how you can do your part in making sure this planet stays as beautiful as it was intended to be!

Come and stop by tomorrow during First Friday and say Hi to him!

And visit www.everydayolympia.com for more info.

To celebrate the opening of the Olympia Farmers Market for the 2008 season einmaleins is very excited to host Kirsop Farms.

They will showcase their farm and present their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
And we certainly will have some tasty treats and noone will leave thirsty either!!

Wouldn't it be great, if we could create a huge directory of local artists from all over Olympia.

Well, we listened to your ideas.
Here it is:
Everyday Olympia just created a supercool local artist directory .
All local artists are invited to send us their contact information and we add them to the directory.

It is FREE!!!

Here is what we need:
Artist First and Last Name*
email*
Studio Name/Business name/Artist alias
W ebsite address (don't have one? Contact us, on how you can get a simple "electronic business card" through EverydayOlympia.)
Contact infomation ( phone, address etc.)
Medium: so we can see what you're doing, and for later use, when we want to add a directory by genre!!
Location: Gallery, where you art is displayed/ local store where your art is for sale.

What a great night we had.

After we closed shop at einmaleins, we walked around a bit, to take in the atmosphere downtown.

It was really awesome!

Considering everything that we should be thinking about the event, downtown and safety, the economy, Bush and Riots and Karma and everything in between. It was cool to meet new people, friendly people. People being excited about being out in downtown on a Friday night.

The Black Front Gallery had a great show and their place was humming.

Many stores that I hadn't connected with in regards of First Friday were open, their stores lit up new shop owners were gracious hosts and showed us their space and welcomed us in.

Ahhh,

it's a good time to be in Downtown Olympia!
