ARTWALK 09

This year is my 2nd time doing the Artwalk. Last time was in 2004 and I had a great time! Missed the last 4 years , they have increased to 65 participating galleries, from 2004's 30.

Artwalk is like a moving bar, keep walking, keep drinking, keep looking, keep chatting. You know how expensive could some of the artworks be, I feel good to just go into the galleries, grab a beer, grap some chicken wings, just leave with your oilly fingers and drunk face. Being a bit silly, who cares?

Chris and I started at 7pm from Sheung Wan's The Cat Street Gallery, and walked along Hollywood Road, Hijiri joint us and we walked down to Kau U Fong, there are a few good exhibitions with local artists' works.

Hollywood Road near the escalator is still the busiest area, we did a few of them and then took the escalator up to Prince Terrace, it is my favourite area for the Artwalk, can comfortably drink a bit outside the galleries. Good to take some rest there as we walked for 3 hours already.

Old Bailey Street where we do Friday happy hour every Friday, saw those mirror works a lot, good to have a closer look and made a photo of us on it.

Managed to do a few more on Hollywood Road before they finished at 24.00, sure, still a lot more I wanted to go but I am happy with what we achieved.
