Entry #8: 2nd Street Festival, Meet Ploome 7.31.2011


From start to finish, yesterday involved anything and everything to do with creativity on 2nd street in Philadelphia's Northern Liberties.  The 2nd Street Music Festival brought artists of all varieties; musical, craft, fine art, and performance art.  All boutiques, studios, bars, restaurants and even our bowling alley, celebrated the occasion with live art, food, and drinks.  At Ploome Studio, we showcased a little bit of what we have to offer.  Hoop, poi, fan, & juggling demonstrations were presented by myself, Mayra, Mike Icon, & Lauren Shaw throughout the day and a special fire performance by Mayra that evening.  Mike Icon, Laura Schetzsle, and myself performed at North Bowl during delicious music sets by Philadelphia's Rob Paine and our friends Terry "Helios" Fields, Liana Cameris, and Lauren Raske performed at the lovely Colors by Padmini boutique.  The day into night as a whole proved to be successful not only for us and the studio, but for our Philadelphia art and music communities as well.  I feel so grateful to have been a part of it.
