And thank you so much for
joining us here on Idaho today.
You know it's another week, which means
it's another issue of Boise Weekly.
So we're joined by our good friend Gene
Huff of the Boise weekly to tell us
everything that's happening around town and
what you can find in this latest edition.
Gene, it's so good to see you.
Hey, it's good to see you too.
Alright. So hey, a lot of buzz around
the warehouse food hall opening.
This sounds fantastic.
Fill us in.
Well, it's really, really cool,
and we've already been over there
several times. Nine things out.
We're gonna actually do a lunch bunch.
Kind of a taste testing thing next week,
but this week it's all about it
is open and it is really cool.
There are eleven different eating
and drinking spots in there.
You've got to go and try them all out.
And I love how you're doing.
The first person experience, right?
You know what a hard job gene?
I'm so sorry that you actually have
to go sample food and some beverage
to really see what it's like,
but I look forward to
hearing your reviews though.
Somebody has to do
it. Somebody has to do it.
I'm so glad Jean stepping up alright
and also happy 30th anniversary
to the flying and my goodness.
I grew up going there.
I know Can you believe it that that
they've been around for 30 years?
It's a Boise icon and it's
a great hang for coffee.
You know they have a great bakery goods and
I guess they're going to even be expanding,
possibly to having a lunch.
And yeah, and.
And you know they've got a great
gift shop and they've got you
know you can get your coffee
ground there and take it home.
But I like it better there.
Yeah, you know, I like it there too.
And I like to be able to sit and enjoy
the art because I love the art gallery
and they also celebrate local art,
which is always fantastic as well.
I've always appreciated that and the
atmosphere is just great, right?
Really great, Yep, OK,
so I'm really interested to hear
about this tattoo fest at Expo Idaho.
What's going on with that?
Wow, it's gonna be a three day event and
you can go there and watch tattoo artists.
Or you can go there and sign up,
you know and get a reservation
to get your own tattoo done.
They're going to be.
I don't know exactly how
many are tattoo artists,
but they're coming from all
over and you know they have all
different styles of tattoos,
so it's it's really kind of
cool to see how this art.
Has evolved into being a part of our culture.
Now you know it used to be maybe not so much.
Yeah, slightly taboo.
I think we can say that you know,
if you had a tattoo you were,
you know it's easily to be profiled
right into like like like like some
kind of social image and it's like no,
you know everyone has tattoos now.
It's socially acceptable and
it's a part of expression.
Sailors anymore exactly thank you.
It's not just for sailors and bikers.
Moms have tattoos.
Thank you very much.
OK, but yeah and we we saw a
beautiful image too of a of artistry
of a wolf and then a woman's face.
This is just incredible and I think
it really speaks to what you're
saying about the art expanding.
Yeah, it's really pretty.
Tell me about Hemp Fest at Julia Davis Park.
Test came about because you know.
People are trying to get our culture.
Wrapped around the idea of,
you know that hemp and it's
association isn't really all that bad.
OK, they're trying to create
a positive image for him.
There we go. OK, so and it's the one
day event so that the tattoo fest is 3
days and the hemp fest is is one day.
And that's at Julia Davis Park.
Got it OK all right.
So they kind of piggyback off of
each other over a span of days.
Yeah, I mean, the Hempfest is just.
Julia Davis Park. The Expo.
I've learned the thought the tattoo Fest Expo
Expo got it. OK, great,
but these are just examples of
some of the amazing things that
we can learn about in the Boise
weekly and you and you give great
detail as well and I love the
calendar in the Boise weekly too.
That just tells you know
each day for the month.
Something to go check out which is fantastic.
So many so much going on.
People go to get a copy of the Boise Weekly.
They can get the Boise weekly at
your Albertsons at Fred Meyer
at any of the Jacksons at your
favorite coffee shop, which might
be the flying in and at the flicks.
And you know, just just all over,
even at some of the libraries. Oh,
great, awesome Jean.
Thank you so much.
It is always a pleasure
touching base with you.
Thank you.
I enjoy it all right.
You take care of my friends.
Bye bye thank you bye bye.
