E.A.S.T. was held on the second and third weekends of November. My attendance this time was not as intensive as previous years due to travel and visits. It was still very enjoyable.

Here are three tips for those of you attending next year:

1. The event is HUGE. Use the map to plan what you want to see. Time spent researching ahead of time pays off while touring.
2. The quality of the art is all over the place. It goes from junk to masterpieces. Again, research well to save you some time and disappointment.
3. Talk to the artists. They have interesting things to say, and they love to talk about what they do. You will never annoy an artist by asking him about his work.
4. Surprisingly, people in town don’t know about E.A.S.T. despite it’s colossal size. Spread the word and bring some friends!
