Total Blam Blams, Alexis & Festival Of The Arts 2011

Been pretty busy so I haven't had the chance to post some pictures from Grand Rapids' Festival Of The Arts this past weekend. This was the 42nd year running and it's always one of the best times of the year. The weather was fantastic and there were a ton of things to do around town. I even got a chance to go into the Grand Rapids Art Museum. They had an Audubon exhibit as well as a few plate pieces by Picasso. Unfortunately I had to work two out of the three days, so I missed out on a lot. I did manage to catch local acts Alexis and the Total Blam Blams who both had killer sets. Make sure to check out the links on the right side of the page if you haven't already. You'll find both of these face melting artists under there along with many other fantastic Grand Rapids groups. I took some pictures of both as well as some other ones around town. For some reason, my camera was set to a lower resolution(unbeknownst to me), so that sucks, but here they are nonetheless:
