Andrew Perfetti, owner of Goin' Postal, is also a musician and photographer, so the event brings together both of his passions, an appreciation for the arts as well as the music that undergirds his life. The event has also become a reunion of friends as well as a family affair.

At least three or four of the events have included an after-party at Bev's Jook Joint, which has now been replaced by a tattoo parlor, tatts seeming to be more in vogue than drinking games. Now that Andy has renovated his basement recording space, the afterparty turns to a music scene not unlike a Greenwich Village hole-in-the-wall. For the late night crowd, those who remained were treated to music from Theft By Swindle, Israel Malachi, and the core of Perfetti's former Uprising band.
We always appreciate the contributions of our sponsors. |
Here are some pictures from the event. For those who couldn't make it, you missed a great reception, but the art will still be hanging on the walls in the event you're able to swing by in the weeks ahead. 816 Tower Avenue, a.m. - 5:30 p.m. M-F.
Carla Hamilton was among the new artists who participated in this show. |
We always appreciate AJ Atwater's colorful contributions. |
Lindsey Graskey, whose work I always enjoy, continues to contribute. |
Familiar faces and new. Really special evening. |
Thank you to everyone who contributed in so many ways to produce a really rewarding experience for so many people.
