Supplementing my first Paseo post, the 31st Annual Paseo Arts Festival was a smashing success, despite mildly inclimate weather — temperatures were pleasant and only a mild sprinkling of mist was an inhibitor, perhaps more than “mist” before this cloudy Monday when the pics below were taken! Even if an occasional rainy drizzle fell over the Memorial Day Weekend and prompted many to bring, and need to use, their umbrellas, the art, the performances, and the dawgz, were absolutely outstanding!

Dawgz,” you say? Yeah, P.D. Eastman (writer of Go Dog Go!) would have been proud! The pics below do not begin to capture the significantly large audience of dawgz at the 2007 Paseo Arts Festival!

The 31st Annual Paseo Arts Festival was nothing if it was not a PARTY, a BIG Dawgz PARTY (but, as for me, forget about climbing up to the top of a tree to have a dawgz party in this post … that just ain’t gonna happen … it was all pretty much happening on the ground, anyway)!

Musicians performed …

Here, Matt Walsh’s Acoustic Blues wowed the audience …

“Cookie, Cookie, will you lend me you’re your comb!”
GREAT hair, Matt! Immaculate and evocative! How cool is this?

Matt had better watch out for hair-snippers like Delilah, though …

The “Suspicious Contra Band” knocked the crowd out, too …

To keep everything on the up-and-up, there were traditional dancers! Yea!
(Doug Dawg is a big supporter of the traditional arts!) Or, non-traditional, whichever this is! See Pseudo Dance for just a bit more (less, actually) about this group, which contains this greeting: “Welcome to the dance underground of Oklahoma City!”

God only knows what they were doing, but, that said …

STOP! I gotta know right now!
Do you love me? Will you love me forever?
I gotta know right now!

Whoops, got carried away with Meat Loaf … back on topic …
is this an “arts” festival, or what?

Art is much more than pictures/paintings/music.
This event had all bases covered, from the “indoor” …

“Hello again. And now do you like my hat?”

I do. What a hat! I like it! I like that party hat!
I’ll see you next year in your party hat at the 32nd Annual Paseo Arts Festival!”
