As usual, the arts were a little lacking - unless you call cheap sundresses, cell phone cases and straw carry bags arts. Pretty good food though. Huge crowd.

Arts, Beats and Eats is getting bigger, better and very crowded at the same time. I enjoy the arts, listening to the beats and ate some exotic food.
There is no art there, just beats and eats. It's called Art's, Beats and Eats because Art Van is one of the sponsors. :cool:
Stopped going, several years back. Too crowded. I guess that is a good thing.
Jazz Festival is more laid back, and nobody has spilled beer on my shoes, there.

Was there, tons of people, seemed as tho there was a little riff raff but I was there kind of late so maybe thats the reason.

I know Ipones like thin-stemmed wine glasses are delicate and must be encased as soon as you buy them, but what is that? Looks like carnival junk...
I went last night. It was super crowded but all-in-all a good time, minus the hour waiting for Third-Eye Blind to come out. There was definitely plenty of art. Wish I could afford to buy some of it.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
I'll agree the ""great"" artwork from individuals was lacking, it existed, but was hidden among all the idiotic nonsense cluttering the streets. Saw the Hatchetmen and the Ruiners play live along with a bunch of others Saturday. Parking at $15 was steep, but entrance cost is low. The $10 for 16 food tickets was set, I believe, to keep beer/cocktail consumption low [[ 10 ticket, 12 ticket respectively). Easy to blow big money on food and drinks on a hot muggy day like Saturday.
Lobster phone is a homage to Salvador Dali, look it up.
