First time for everything…
Starting with last Friday, I bought my FIRST piece of art work. Of course this took place at our annual Art After Dark event, which is by far one of the best collections of artists under one roof and for one night only. I found my piece on the 3rd floor- the student section. There it was, a splatter painting with bright colors, it basically spoke to me that I had to have it. The artist was a University of North Florida student, Bethany Alden Riggs. It currently is hanging in my office and makes me smile when I see.
Saturday was my FIRST assist in booking an opening act w/ the help of course from my K-girl. When the question came up in our office one day, “Who should open for Third Eye Blind?”, Katie and I locked eyes and had the same group in mind- Shawn Fisher & The Jukebox Gypsies. I am so pleased to report that they got the gig and completely rocked it. This group is going places and we are thrilled to have had them on our stage.
Sunday was the FIRST time I actually had lunch and dinner at Moss Fire Grill. I frequent the place often, but never usually twice in one day. We switched it up though by enjoying the upstairs patio for lunch with the sun shining on our faces. Then for dinner, the couches, best seat in the house of course!
Monday brought me my FIRST Kenny G experience. And boy was it one. The stage was jam packed with instruments, a huge projection screens, camera men, crazy lighting and a box in the middle of the auditorium for Kenny to stand on to boot! Quite a spectacle of a show, but for those in attendance all were in awe.
For the FIRST time I embarked on a road trip to Tallahassee Tuesday afternoon. Representing the American Advertising Federation, I headed to the Rally in Tally event. Having never been and also not being too political I was a little nervous, but very excited for the new adventure.
Wednesday was my FIRST time visiting the Capital building. We had appointments all day long and met with many different people. The experience was amazing and I can’t wait to get back!
Thursday was the FIRST time staying in my house alone with no roommates, that’s all I could come up with for Thursday, lol.
And right now will be my FIRST John Edward experience...
