It is early evening - that magical point in high summer when the day lingers long into the night. A gentle breeze caresses the air, teasing it with a slight chill. Night sounds stir in the background, caught out by the slowing tempo of the day and the summery evening. The mood is one of peace and ease, basking in the lingering light and warmed by the ground and nearby buildings that now radiate the day's accumulated heat into the cooling air. Even the sounds of the nearby express way seem muted.
The location is a converted warehouse on the way to Davis, a college town just west of Sacramento. The warehouse has been converted into a suit of function rooms. An ugly parking lot has been sculpted into a formal garden to accompany the function rooms - and on this summery eve, the doors to the function suite have been flung wide open. There are buffet tables arranged inside and out to allow the guests to move and socialise. The art work on display is spread all over, placed to best effect.
The social function is simple: a local art group is displaying the work of local artists. This is a casually formal event and not aimed at the local glitterati or the captains of culture. The chance for free food and a relaxing, care free evening, are not things to turned away lightly.
Naga hears about the event through her legal Contacts. It's another fine place to network.
Kaze hears about the event through his martial arts connections. Some of them are in attendance as a show of support for some of the artist groups whose work is on display. Interestingly, some of his Street Contacts are interested in the event as well - curious to see how an old bric-a-brac store with a terrible story has been renovated and given a new lease of life.
Skye discovers a flyer advertising the event and decides to go simply because she can, now flush with the first pay checks from her employment.
Phoenyx discovers the event by accident - Campanella was doing some cleaning at the Circle of Creation and he dropped a flyer advertising the event. The venue lies some 10-15 minutes outside of the city, so is not too far away, and the nature of the event means that she doesn't have to glam up or dress too formally. The Obrimos can simply go, hang out for a while, and then quickly get back to her duties without too much trouble. Perfect.
