I’m waiting for my clothes to dry. Jeans take a very long time to completely dry, and when they aren’t completely dry you put them on and the pockets are slightly damp, which then translates into a cold and wet feeling on your legs. I don’t like it, so I will wait for my jeans to dry. I am heading down to Cobden once my clothes dry to put up posters for the small town documentary exhibition. The opening is this Monday, November 13 at 5-7pm on the second floor of the Student Center at SIUC. I encourage all of you who read this blog…(all 3 of you) to come out to the opening. It will be a festive atmosphere, complete with overpriced cheeseballs and some sort of colored punch. Oh, and there will a lot of photographs too. We have 12 people in the class this semester, and each person will be display 10 – 12 photographs, so it will be a pretty big show. Come out and see some of the work that I’ve been doing this semester. I would also like to thank my good friends from high school that have been reading my blog religiously to keep an eye on my saga in Illinois. Their devotion has been truly inspiring, and their readership has been what helps me wake up each morning and tackle the day. A special thanks goes out to my devoted readers in the lone star state, each of whom has been following my blog more closely than their own lives.
Small Town Documentary Exhibition Opening
SIU Student Center
November 13, 2006 5-7 PM
The show will be up until December 10, so if you can’t make the opening, come by and see the work at your convenience.
And an extra-special thanks goes out to Chase who inspired me to start my blog. All of the aforementioned people are forever indebted to him, though they’ve never met him. In fact they should send him money via PayPal. He’s saving up for a celesta or a harmonium.
Not really. I don’t know if I can make the show opening. Is the exhibit up for a while?
maybe you should post your link to pay-pal, so anyone who wants to donate to your cause can do so.
