AVA and Sunnyvale Art Festivals 2005

Alliance of Visual Artists Festival

Here's a couple more shots of our booth while setting up.Whew, yesterday was veeeeery busy, but that's OK. The day started with helping to set up the Pacific Scribes booth at the AVA Festival at Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, CA.

Here's a couple more shots of our booth while setting up.

It may be hard to see, but the second from the right is a real leaf with real handwriting on it.

It was great to walk around and check out the other booths of other art groups. The University Arts booth was even giving away free tubes of Winsor & Newton's new watercolor Opera Rose, blah. A very transparent water color.

Sunnyvale Art and Wine Festival

After taking a short break, I rode my bike over to the Sunnyvale Art and Wine Festival to see what was going on.

After walking around for a while, I looked around the corner, past the fuzzy puppets booth and what did I see? An ART DECO car in pristine condition! Not only was it a beatuiful car (from the right time period) but it was a Jaguar too. After my heart slowed down and I closed my mouth to keep from dribbling, I zipped right over to take some pictures. Voila! The 1939 SS1100 Jaguar!

I don't know who the other Fan is, the guy was just too close to crop out.

Blurb that was on the stand. Click on image to get larger version so you can read the words.

Come on in and have a seat.

A last look at the gorgeous lines of the SS1100 Jag. One of the many cool things is that the car was created from a kit. The ower had pictures of the car sitting in peices in crates. Here's a wonderful illustration from Bert Christensen's. And Here's a picture of an orginal brochure for the 1939 Jaguar car line from the Jag Lovers website..

I ended the day by watching the set of the David Martin's House Party band. A hoot! They do a variety of music, from big band, 50s, 60s70's, 80s, funk, heavy metal... Not only do the 3 lead vocalists (2 men and one woman) sing all these styles, they have a man and woman dancer who dress for each style, then go out in the audience to boogie and get down with them. During a metal song, dudes in the audience were doing air guitar along side Dave while he was jamming. You probably don't see that everyday.

Singing Barry White in the audience.

Playing guitar, costume dancers and singing with the audience.

It's Conga time!

If you have any kind of event where you need people to be up and dancing, you should probably check out David Martin's House Party. Some of the hardest working entertainment people in the SF Bay Area.
