Hip Hudson

One of my friends wanted to see this documentary being shown in a little art gallery in Hudson, a mid-sized town about half an hour due north of Bard, so off we trotted on Saturday night.  I've been to Hudson only briefly before, and it turns out it's a really cool town!  It's got a couple of downtown blocks lined with classy old buildings painted snazzy colors, a few really nice churches, a bunch of art galleries, and lots of places with sneaky names, like "Swallow Coffee..." (There was a picture of a bird on the sign, but still!)  The gallery itself wasn't much to look at, just a big old brick building, but we had some time to wander around the downtown in search of food before the film started.  (We finally found a cheap but delicious little falafel/pizza restaurant--an odd combo, but the falafel was yummy!)  We didn't have any time for shopping, and not much time for eating, but it was an interesting place to see.

I liked the color and shape of these buildings!
