I keep attending the public events in our town, hoping to find something that wows me. We've been here since September 2007. Either I'm not trying hard enough and there are some events I've yet to discover, or I need to lower my expectations.
On the first Friday of every month they have an art crawl downtown. It is nothing like First Friday's in Kansas City. I think they call it a crawl for a reason, because that is the only way to prolong the experience...otherwise it's over too quickly. Kenyon and I have attended this event a couple of times. The highlight is always the Turchin Center on the ASU campus...not because the art is good, but mostly because they serve food and drinks. You must remember, my hometown is Santa Fe, NM...roots like that make me an art snob.
We attended this event in March. The Turchin Center had live music playing. I've heard live music in Boone three times - once I attended the summer concert series at Jones House, at the High Country apple fest, and now at Turchin during the Art Crawl. Here's the thing...it's been the same muscician every time. A woman in dreads named Chris who sings blues like Tracy Chapman. I like her stuff, but isn't there other talent available in this town?
