Global Arts Festival 2010

What an awesome Global Arts Festival this year!  Thanks to everyone involved in the planning, booking, setup, performance, and clean up.  There was a really good turn out of FPC-ers along with neighborhood traffic and supporters of NYCreates and the vendors.

A persistent drizzle started a little after 3PM, but "the band played on" as threefifty duo played a shortened set and the vendors packed up more quickly than they might have preferred.  The light rain didn't dampen the spirit of the crowd or any of the performers, however.
