text: I recently rented a tent at First Friday to showcase my paintings. The people running it are very nice and helpful.. But the crowds are terrible! People threw their trash right in front of my largest paining 3 times! Everyone wanted to take pictures but no body was willing to buy. I think first friday was awesome, but as time goes by it seems to be less about the art and more about becoming a swap meet. And it used to be a family event but now you cant walk 5 feet without smelling weed. I wish everyone there the best of luck but I will not be attending anymore.
