TGIF! This week's Feature Friday is a vibrant cocktail of creative talent, shaking up your weekend with laughter, music, poetry, and prose.

Let's talk about the local art community, shall we? By definition, we at Forget The Box participate in, support, and downright love the arts. Every editor and contributor here is an artist in their vein, part of the very scene they're writing about.
