A running account of life in the gallery and arts district

Back from Scottsdale

Scottsdale was quite an adventure. Played golf at Camelback in the rain, or what passes for rain down there. The locals were scurrying about trying to dodge the drops; some sort of Oz syndrome no doubt.
The resort, FireSky, was nice, new, and close to the galleries. The folks in the galleries were all very nice, low pressure, with one exception.
We went to the Scottsdale Performing Art Center and saw Hubbard Street Dance Theater. We also saw lots of names of groups that pass through Eugene at The Shedd.
The food was out of this world! Lon's at Hermosa, Elements at Camelback, and Digestif on the new Southbridge area, come to mind as ones to experience. We have just as good here in Eugene and we try to support the local restaurants but when in Rome...
Glad to be back.
