It was obvious from my first visit to Main-Lee that this new mistress would require more of my attention than dart league. I had no idea that the hours would command such time though. At least I can spend Mondays and Tuesdays at the London Underground and see my friends there. (Or so I thought!)

Now I know it would seem disorganized, but I have to knit for my writing. Combined with playing darts, they do not give me any luxury on my wrists. For each night I had to play in a match, I needed to avoid knitting the day before and day of. Even then, the pain in my wrists became so great that one night I took enough aspirin to cause stomach pain. As much as I enjoy throwing a good game of darts, I love knitting and my work even more. Add the travel I will be doing, darts in public will be no more.

So it is with great remorse that I stop playing in dart league and start using the time for my new-found hobby in art. Note some of the consolations in store:

    1) I still have Martinettes Happy Hour on Fridays at the Pub. I can play darts with Gary and other friends who happen to be there.
    2) The new restaurant 622 North will feature a couple of dart lanes. Their wine and tapas bar beckons to me!
    And finally…
    3) My own dartboard cabinet has been set up at my new place, SomeBunnysLodge. Here I can play a quick game when I feel like throwing.

Missing darts? Maybe in public, but not in private! =:8

Though I have been in Blacksburg since Halloween 2009, not until I met the folks at Main-Lee Art Gallery did the phrase “First Friday” ever reach my ears. The words reference an open house occurring once a month for art galleries across major cities in the United States. I was excited to participate in Main-Lee Art’s very First Friday hosting since they opened. The artists and I were not sure who would attend, but we all wanted a fun night.

There was a nice crowd which appeared right at 5 o’clock that evening, and in an hour Main-Lee was packed. The fingerfoods were a delight and some of the more savory ones were gobbled up faster than expected. The gallery hopping continued to Judy Garbera’s Art Pannonia where she and her son Andy were hosting their First Friday. All I can say is that Andy makes an awesome foie gras pate, and that the paintings featured in that gallery would make wonderful additions to any room.

Of course since the London Underground Pub is nestled in between both galleries, we had a MUST stop for a bottle of champagne. Why the bubbly? Well every Friday the Blacksburg Martinettes meet between 5 and 7 o’clock for a TGIF Happy Hour and toast the end of the week with at least a bottle of champagne. From all the fun we had, this First Friday is only the beginning! =:8
