G: Well
well well. What have we done. What have we not done is the real
question. Yes, we have not been doing our blogging. We don't know why.
We just don't seem to have it in us lately. Perhaps we will switch to a
different format or something to inspire us. Meanwhile, since the last
news we put up, here are some things we did, in approximate order:
I
took some pottery to Artists on The Avenue, a new shop in the Arts
District in Hyattsville. A box fell off my cart on the way there and I
lost quite a few pieces to breakage, and a bit of my heart. But I went
on and have about a dozen items there,
check it out! We
hosted the October First Friday party, the first time in over a year.
It was big. I had fun. Lot's of folks really enjoyed it. Yeah.
On
Saturday the 4th I went to a memorial service for Bob Holloway. His
widow, Jeri, is a longtime potter at the studio, and a wonderful
person. I didn't really know Bob, but went in support of Jeri. It was a
lovely service with lots of beautiful live music.
That night we
went to Dana's Prince themed birthday party at her place in Dupont
Circle. She has a really nice little apartment, and a great rooftop
hangout spot where most of the party was. Purple Rain was shown inside
all night, and people came in great costumes, especially our host (who
wore a light blue latex dress) and Hopi, who took the time to sew
things on her clothes and draw herself a mustach to look like Prince.
There was a pretty big Greenbelt contingent there, and we did most of
the dancing and staying late. It was a very good time.
On Sunday
I helped out my studio mate Mary with her Artful Afternoon project,
carving small plaster blocks and using them to print with paint onto
sheets of paper that could be used to wrap gifts.
Thursday the
9th we went to the New Deal to celebrate Amethyst's birthday with her.
John and I mostly hung out with Joe and Andy. It was very fun. Lot's of
people there.
The next night we went to what used to be My-Li
and is now The Lotus Room (I think), a Vietnamese restaurant in Silver
Spring, to celebrate Izolda's birthday. Good company there too.
On
Saturday the 11th we went to Six Flags to ride rollercoasters for
John's birthday. Luisa had given us some free tickets (although we'd
forgotten we could get those anytime from John's uncle who works
there). Superman is still one of the best coasters around, but most of
the others were just okay, or painful. But we had a great time. That
night we went to Renee and Alex's for some gaming. Fun.
On Sunday we spent a good part of the day with Dave playing Rock Band, which rocked.
The end for now...
