ArtLoveMagic

ArtLoveMagic is an organization here in Dallas that does exactly what the name implies. They hold art events and I went to one on Friday. Last week when I decided to go, I told my friend and classmate, Nick, about it and he said he wanted to check it out too, so when Friday came, he gathered his posse (random people from the dorms) got on the DART and headed my way. He called to see where I was and I told him I had taken a wrong turn and was lost downtown instead of where I needed to be in the neighborhood of Deep Ellum. He yelled at me. "What are you doing driving downtown by yourself??!!" I thought it was cute, he's 19 and concerned about me. I told him "Relax, dude, I've been in far more dangerous places before. I won't get out of my car, I promise!"
Finally I found the place and a spot to park with out having to pay (bonus!). We met up and had a blast dancing, meeting random people, getting faces painted and watching really cool artists create pieces. Later, the group walked with me to my car (I had to go to work in the morning, ugh, always ruining my nights) and they headed in another direction to Geo-cache.
I'd only be 20 again if I knew what I know now!
