Santa Barbara has a thing called 1st Thursdays which I've been meaning to try, and finally did. Audrey and i embarked out after work and stepped into various art galleries as well as the Granada which has recently been restored and re-opened. it was fun to go in, look around, and have a glass of wine. we marked out the places with perks and also went to a gallery that had mini Crushcakes and a jewelry gallery that was in the middle of downtown but upstairs with live jazz music and wine, but this time not free. it was fun to look around and pop our heads into places we wouldn't throughout the week. next time... i think I'll go out a bit later as apparently it was quite the scene as Audrey was walking back to her car.
