Craft shows, art shows, weirdos, etc.

It's been a busy week since I last added an entry. A month ago I remember thinking, man, our lives are going to get really hectic around the end of April to the middle of May what with our trip to Austin, the Felt Club and then Erik's art show. Suddenly, all those things have come and gone. We did it! So. . . now what? I guess we'll have to think of new things to do. The wheels are already turning.

As promised, here are some pictures from the first Felt Club. Here's my booth, er, umm, scaffolding?


The scene:


The shop whose parking lot we occupied:


That picture was taken in the evening after I treated my family to dinner at a hip little restauarant called Cheebo across the street from Meltdown Comics. For more pictures check out our Flicker group. The next Felt Club is June 10th - mark your calendars!

Fast forward to Thursday night and the opening of Strange Loops, Erik's painting show at the Walt Disney Feature Animation building in Burbank. We served these hors d'oevres:


But no milk, just beer. You can see his art here: Lord North, Strange Loops. He's actually pretty normal in real life, he just comes across as a big weirdo on canvas.

Speaking of weirdos, here's my little one pretending he's a seagull at Zuma Beach in Malibu. We owed the boy a beach excursion after a week of carting him to and from craft shows and art shows.

Nice tattered towel there. You'd think his seamstress mommy would fix that.
