The Gorman's Grinch pup tried with all her might to steal our holiday fun...but alas, we prevailed!

The crowd spanned the ages - new edition Dali chillin' with proud parents Justin and Rachel - the kid is a born rocker!

Part of the Redcats (rahrrrrrr!) crew with photographer Claudio Marinesco.

The Gorman brothers, two personalities - one vision...

What can you buy at a Bonamarte? Alex and stylist/party paparazzi Jazz.

Now the party was supposed to end around 9:30, here you can plainly see the owner of Shorty's 32 looking in dismay at the crowd around 11PM.  Thanks to all for coming out and making this yet another Anyway... party to remember (or not).

In 1991, there wasn't much to speak of in Old City Philadelphia (OK, the Liberty Bell). A group of UA grads started some gallery co-ops with nothing but art and drive. This idea mushroomed into a phenomenon called First Friday, a concept many art communities have caught onto, birthed in the place Ben Franklin called home.

We literally stumbled onto the scene after dashing by the Greyhound station and found ourselves crammed! into a throng hopping from gallery to eatery, plastic cocktail cup to jazz trio, sculpture to canvas, installation to inspiration. The high craft of these humorous/hideous pieces hinted at a backlash to things created without hands.

The community is certainly fueled by the local art schools, but the student feel stays with the crowd and not on the wall. There was an abundance of 'objects' and plenty of paintings -conventional only in the materials.

We've been looking back to revisit Frankenthaler, Rauschenberg, Rothko, Motherwell and DeKooning lately, and we are not alone. 

 Visit Old City Arts for galleries and information. Or just show up between Front and Third, Market and Vine Streets, 6pm and 8pm this very Friday!

Happy Holidays from Anyway MGMT.

There's chatting and fussing. There's jockeying for a table — debating what to drink and how much, but when you eat at Lucky Strike, you are a fool not to order the Rigatoni.
