Short version of this blog<\/strong>: We’re playing tomorrow night from 6-9 pm in downtown Campbell, right around 275 East Campbell Ave<\/a>. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

There’s been a neat little phenomena happening in the art world the past several years. (That, or I’m just suddenly hip to it, me being the slightly-out-of-touch late adopter and all.) They’re called “First Fridays”. They take place on – well, you do the math – each month in art galleries all over the place. It’s sort of an open house, often linked to the opening of a new exhibit. And art being what it is, music is often involved. <\/p>\n

Some other towns, not being strict bellwether followers, do their own spin on the thing, running the whole thing on the “Second Saturday” of each month. (Artsy people just love alliteration.) Redding<\/a> and Sacramento<\/a> both have monthly Second Saturday events. Locally, there’s are few particularly notable items for this month’s local First Fridays, both on the Santa Cruz and Campbell sides of the hill:<\/p>\n
