Tucson Buds!

Went out on 4th Ave, our main "party street" in Tucson. I hardly ever go out when I am home, so this was kind of a big deal. I also hardly get to see my good Burningman friends Selina and Eric, so it was great to go out with them, have some hemp beer to celebrate upcoming 4-20 and catch up with whats been going on in our lives. Eric has become a bootlegger, making and selling his own wine...which is pretty tasty! And Selina has started selling her hand made glass jewelry. They are both extremely creative and productive people, so they are very inspiring to be around. They are also very much in love and are super sweet to each other, it is so nice to be around their kind of love... Such great people, I am glad to be friends with them!

We hung out a little mexican food place with excellent cheap tacos and live music. Heard an amazing blue grass band...actually I think they were a collection of people from other bands just getting together and making some music. It was beautiful. Next was "Fatheads", an awesome bar attached to a glass blowing shop, which has neat art everywhere made by local artists and fun graffiti on the patio walls. The bar top is fun and unique too! It is a long, giant plexiglass case that holds a bunch of local artwork for sale. Selina has a section of the bar for her selling her own glass pieces (necklaces, bracelets, keychains, and her unique dreadlock accesories). She is really excited about it, as she should be. I am really proud of her for putting her beautiful creations out there for Tucson to enjoy!

Eric and Selina will be leaving Tucson at the beginning of May to spend the summer in Oregon. They are going to work on a farm or something...escape the extreme heat of summer in Tucson, work with nature and be surrounded by good people. How nice! Big green trees and lots of grass and plants, Oh...I'm jealous! I have yet to travel to that area, so hopefully I can make plans to visit them this summer...maybe fly out there and drive with them to Burningman... hmmmm sounds like a great idea!
