"That was extra fun because then they got to be seen and people talked to them," DeBey said. "And then I realized that my customers really liked to meet the people."Bringing artisans and customers together in the First Friday format allowed for a more personal connection. Customers enjoyed hearing from the artisans about why they do what they do and how they create their works. The customers, should they purchase pieces from the artisans, also had the opportunity to have the pieces signed, DeBey said.

It wasn't all love and flowers and Woodstock in 1969 - Sydney Morning Herald

And here comes Quentin Tarantino’s new fairy tale movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, concerning the grotesque Charles Manson “family”, who went on a murder rampage at the home of actress Sharon Tate on August 9, 1969, shocking the world.AdvertisementWe are much given these days to reaching back and commemorating the dramatic events of the past.It’s a safer and more satisfying pursuit than confronting the present; or worse, burdening ourselves with anxiety about what might happen in the future.We can dress the past in bunting and sentimentalise it; even those events that are so ghastly they still infect nightmares.The new celebration of Woodstock, of course, is a blessed relief after last year, when much of the world devoted itself to remembering that it was 100 years since the end of World War I, a conflagration that consumed many millions of lives.In the current remembrance of cool 1969, it is probably best to push aside the arithmetic that shows 50 years ago - to many of us, part of our remembered lives - we were just 51 years beyond the end of World War I, and only 24 years from the end of World War II. The most dreadful events of the 20th century were, for many in 1969, within living and even recent memory.It was a year, too, when a new war was raging - the Vietnam War would take as many as 2 million lives of Vietnamese civilians and another 1.1 million Viet Cong and North Vietnamese fighters, and killed 58,000 American soldiers ... and 521 Australians, 202 of whom were conscripted.Those of us who spent our youth in Australia might also...
