Spent the weekend in Prescott for the 41st annual Phippen Art Show & Festival. On Saturday I was on the jury to name the top three winners in seven catagories and also best of show. Fortunately, I got to share the burden with a sculptor—Ken Rowe—and this guy:

The night before, on Friday, we roamed Whiskey Row, having a drink at the Jersey Lilly, above the Palace, and then catching a co-op art show, where some very talented kids kicked out the jams for tips.
Jammin' for tips on Whiskey Row
I threw in a five in the tip jar and when we got outside, I asked Kathy what she threw in and she said, "A ten." I had to laugh. It was either the drink we had at the Jersey Lilly, or we both have a soft spot for kids who are out there trying.
Mark Lee Gardner just shared with me a photo he found online that is pretty amazing if you have ever wondered what Billy the Kid's bibbed shirt with the anchor on it, looks like:
Anchors Away!
