this weekend was art-a-whirl in northeast minneapolis. kristi and i visited “johnstock” on johnson street ne and 29th avenue. we even toured the old hollywood theater – that was awesome!

this is the main entrance. i don’t think any of it is renovated yet, but there will still be a show hosted there soon. “waiting for godot” by theatre pro rata debuts in july.

it’s a huge, amazing space. very impressive. i admit i was also looking for orbs. (i haven’t watched enough ghost hunters lately, i suppose.)

i would’ve really liked to see what was at the bottom of these stairs, but they were closed to the public.

then we crossed the street to see a bunch of crafty booths and live music.

pretty low key, but the sun had only recently come out of hiding after a very rainy morning.

we felt very awkward in this studio because we felt like we were wandering into someone’s house (humans win!) but at least picked up a great compilation of local music. chris koza, caroline smith & the goodnight sleeps, halloween, alaska and many others.

we also took a break in the park, sitting among the dandelions and soaking up some vitamin d.
