Every first Friday of the month the Phoenix Art Museum and Science Center are free from six to ten o'clock in the pm (props to Katie Mae for her good deal hunting skills). Free is my favorite four-letter word. Love is my favorite, too. Olen might think I have another favorite four-letter word...food!...yeah, yeah, that's what I was going to say...ok.
So to make our frugal outing complete, we hopped aboard the new Valley Metro Light Rail for our commute to the museum. When I say "we", I mean, me and Olen, Katie Mae and Jacob and Bethany and Chase.
Have you ever taken The Rail? Well, it is a trip. Literally. We were experiencing some serious sardine love up in there. The first couple stops (we had 13 to go) our group had the whole car to ourselves. Then we had to switch trains and by stop four loads of people were flooding on. That's because there is another "First Fridays" going on in the streets of downtown Phoenix. Olen's new BFF told us it is an "urban movement of local crafters, vendors, musicians and artists". I'm always up for a good urban movement and Furmin had me sold (he was one of Olen's new BFFs), but our group was museum bound. Our BFFs insisted on getting a picture together and then one of us, too, to document our Friday night light rail ride.
Furmin and Juan had just come from "the best Irish bar in Tempe" and were feeling friendly. Furmin announced that someone smelled good and started searching out the scent by getting reeeaally close to this one girl next to him. I was unnecessarily close to Olen and the wall to avoid his searches, but when the girls around him came up clean, he announced that it must be I who smelled so good. So yay me! I won the ol' "Who smells so good?!" on the light rail test.
The museum was wonderful, as always. I especially loved the American art exhibits. We were a little bummed out that the fashion exhibit was temporarily closed, but all the more reason to go next month. You're all invited. See you on the rail.
Even though the lightrail was totally cramped I have such a fun time! Maybe not as much fun as you and Olen cause we didn't make any new friends, but there's always next month.
ReplyDeleteOk Molly, you didnt happen to get that random guys name did you? He looks like these twin guys I know named Mitchell and Marshall Glass.
ReplyDeleteAnd my bro in law has a roommate name furmin, so I wonder if that's the same guy.
Also, Miss Molly, I think my laundry pile might be bigger than yours. I am going to take a pic and post it on my blog later today. We should see whose pile is bigger! Katie Mae can be the judge!
Girl, check out my blog, you and I are having a laundry pile contest!
ReplyDeleteOh man! Now I wish we could have gone! Looks super fun. In London when we rode on their subway one day it was so cramped you couldn't even move! Getting on the subway was the same way it was like a current of people. If they were moving you were going with them if you wanted to or not! And then when I went to Mexico City the same thing happened. Except my purse got stolen and my leg got molested. It was pretty scary!
ReplyDeleteHey I know that "strange guy"! He is my friend's brother! hahah! How funny. He is a twin, so it is eaither Mitchell or Marshall. Can't tell haha!
ReplyDeleteOh, um, sorry to the strange guy. Poor kid got caught in my picture and became blogging material. I don't blame him if he didn't want to smile. What a trooper.
ReplyDeleteyou are flippin hilarious.
ReplyDeletefavorite four letter word paragraph was my all time fave :)
and what the heck is Marshall Glass doing in your photos... that really threw me for a loop.
looks like a smash of a time. and i totally dont have to ask, i KNOW you smell good, yo.
Ok, so it's Marshall, huh? Talk about your small worlds...
ReplyDeleteMARSHALL (You're one popular guy) - I owe you an appology. You're not strange. Sorry you had to squish in the light rail by my sisters. Fun night, eh? :) See you next month.
Looks like fun....and free can't beat that.
ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous in that color of purple! Wow, that is a color keeper for you. Sounds like a fun date and free is one of my favorite four letter words too. Among many. :)
