\u201cWe don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen, but we\u2019ll be here on Main Street,\u201d Carbondale Arts director Amy Kimberly said at the outset of the first virtual version of Carbondale\u2019s First Friday celebration on April 3, doing a virtual toast with co-host Cory Simpson of Thunder River Theatre.<\/p>\n

What happened was something special, with familiar faces of locals in live Zoom performances and recorded segments.<\/p>\n

There was a show by Consensual Improv, live music by Jackson Emmer and Pam and Dan, a walk through Alissa Davies\u2019 art studio, cocktail recipes from Mable Distillery and music trivia from Carbondale Beer Works, a chocolate-making demo by Mark Burrows, a sculpting demo from Carbondale Clay Center, a cat video by Sue Drinker, locally made stop-motion videos from Voices and 5Point Film\u2019s #StopMotionDuringStopTime challenge; there were madcap interludes with Kimberly and Simpson and, yes, a few tears.<\/p>\n

With a live chat from viewers running alongside the stream, Kimberly shouted out friends, mimicked the experience of running into them on Main Street and said, \u201cFirst Fridays was always about us coming together as a community, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
