Yesterday's First Fridays was the most poorly-attended version of the event I can remember since I started attending regularly in 2004. The question is why-- the insane heat, the fact it was Fourth of July and everyone who stayed in town was watching fireworks or the Diamondbacks, or whether the new rules on street vending have had some effect.
I happen to favor the restrictions on the vendors-- for a while it seemed First Fridays was turning into Phoenix's largest garage sale-- and happen to think that even if the crowds dissipate somewhat because of the absence of the vendors, that the focus will turn back to the art in the various galleries. And that's where it belongs.
