Sunday Mornin

Joe and I stayed at the home of Laura and her Grandmother Saturday night. Had an awesome breakfeast and then saw this stuff:

Went to the biggest protestant church in Uniontown with Laura's sister Jan and her friends. The preaher had a decent message about how Christians shouldn't expect their life to be great by default.

We went to see W that night with Jen. The movie seemed less artificial as it went on and it was comforting that it was a sympathetic film. Afterwards we went to Coffee with the brothers Howell, but got yelled at by a neurotic woman.

Crocodile Night

The other night our friend's at the Castle had a party and I got to utilize my crocodile get up. I lasted about 30-45 minutes before I took off the head and reverted to a pioneer costume.

Welcome to 1948

The first part of October was spent preparing for the the Donora Smog Commemoration. After disassembling shopping aisles and painting the walls, we turned the Central Drug Store into a makeshift gallery.

I did some word paintings that ended up as either enticing examples of the work inside or prominent window decoration.

Kellen created an indoor campfire from recycled materials and sketchy soldering.

The Freeman utilized some found wood.

Ross did a few pieces with cloth and Iron Oxide. He's also pretty much responsible for the legitimacy of the Smog Commemoration's advertising campaign. His smoke-stack logo is on banners that line the streets in Donora, and is also seen on the sign of the Donora Smog Museum. The Museum is located across the street from the gallery space we hooked up. Whereas our space was an old drugstore, the Smog Museum was formerly occupied by a Chinese Restaurant.

The Weather Channel and some other news station showed up. They covered the museum but not the gallery across the street. Strange event overall. We felt surprisingly good about the whole thing in the end.

Antomcial Insights and Shrimp Crusted Wontons

Thursday morning was spent in Donora.
Deanne from Donora wanted us to paint the shelving unites on the walls of the Drug Store with white spraypaint. For some reason none of us thought that this was not the appropritate solution for paintiing the walls. With 10 cans of paint we had covered 10 sections of shelfing with one horriblly splotchy coat. There were 24 sections fo shelving. We had also filled the place up completely with toxic chemicals. Ironic considering this was in Donora. After realizing that it would take 50-75 cans of spraypaint to finish the job, we used the Smog society's card to instead buy a 5 gallon bucket of white eggshell and rollers. After we took a lunch break, we painted the place and sent for a ride back to CAL.

That night was the Jason Shorr show. Joe made a bangin rice dish with chickpeas/mushrooms/blackbeans/tofu. I made a bunch of Ore Ida fries that I got with free coupons. The lecture went well and then we went to this girl Brittney's art show at Jozarts. She has better brie than we did. Her art was pretty good too.

After that went to Lagerheads with Jason and that was pretty fun considering we got 13$ worth of free food each from the Art Club. BAM

There was a party afterwards but I left way early.

stamped on them. Today at work I made 800 of them. Baked a bunch of carrots, zuchinni, and chickpeas and served it over brown rice for dinner today. Fixed my bike. Fixing my life.
