Last night I attended the Mobile Arts Council's Fall Fundraiser, "Come Get the Skinny" - Silent Auction, Loud Party. It was very well attended and there was so many great pieces of art to bid on - a testament to the local artist's support of the Mobile Arts Council. A big crowd, live music, fun decor and The Smoking Gringos taco truck all contributed to the "Loud Party" atmosphere. The bidding was hot on a lot of pieces - I had my eye on artwork by Kate Seawell, Jennifer Grehan, Amber Lane, Anita Westerberg, Kathy Whitinger and Amer'ica Jones. There was even some artwork by Jo Bonner - I didn't know our Congressman was a painter! Also, spotted: Mobile City Councilwoman Gina Gregory.
Here are some "party pics":

| AMAZING food from the "Smoking Gringos" truck! I am going to have to find out their daily routes so I can get some more! |

| The party spilled out onto the sidewalk and street, with live music. |
Also, if you've never been to downtown LODA for artwalk (2nd Friday of each month), October's is supposed to be great!
