Catching up with men in ruffles and tape.

Chil', Ive been one busy bee lately, not just at work but on the gogogo in my personal life as well. I haven't posted in a coon's age, so if anyone is still out there reading this, delurk and let me know.

A couple weeks back was Dr Phil's annual Pirate's on the Columbia party; nothing like a bunch of guys in ruffles. It's funny how some people really make an effort and others.....not so much. But that's ok, to each his own. This year Phil went all out and pulled out all the stops. A good time was had by all.

Phil and Kirt, ayyyyyre matie! This was one of two photos I managed to take that night that didn't turn out a completely usless black shot. It was so frigging cold that I didn't want to take off my gloves to take photos. Plus we had to constantly gage our distance from the bonfire to maintain the correct bodily temperature at all times.

And while I'm on the subject of temperature, let me just voice my disappointment at the weather this past summer. Or was there even a summer? Maybe it fell on a weekend so I missed it.

Enough bitching....

Last Thursday was the art walk on Alberta and the Roommate and I made some tape people and talked the staff at our favorite neighborhood wine bar to let us station them there. I must admit they were a big hit, people stopping and starting and taking photos even. Here are the two photos I took that evening. Yes, I am lazy.


Little boy sitting on a wooden barrel. Inspiring!


This piece was called "Three Sisters", one represents white wine, the other two red and rose. In keeping with the setting and all. I'm so clever. Sometimes.

Ok, that's it for now. I'm off to go downtown and work for a few hours. Then hit the party circuit tonight. Have fun and stay pure!

I think they're brilliant Susan.

Someone's going to pay for these.

I really do think they are nifty. I'd love one in my cube at work....how hard would they be to ship? Not sure of the rigidity or fragility of them....

They probably wouldn't be too difficult to ship, plus the shipping charge can't be too much since basically I'd be mailing a box of air. Shawna, if you want one let me know where to ship it, I suppose I could part with one since it would be "on display" in a far off city.

Can I use that one to replace some co-workers? Your art pieces are almost as transparent!
