I had to ask for help last night in updating my diary. The intention of bringing a diary over here, was to jot down notes, things to look up when i get home or just list things we had done, so that I can keep a record of sorts.
The idea failed pretty early on though when our social networking (real life networking that is) hit an all time high.
So the conversation last night sort of went…. ‘what did we do on Monday ? Oh OK, so what happened Tuesday morning? …erm so what did we do last night?’ I’m not usually so forgetful, but to have so much happening ALL of the time is really hard to keep up with ( well sleep deprivation and the amount of alcohol consumed isn’t helping I suppose)
Tuesday then…. we were interviewed by the local radio station. That was pretty scary actually. We weren’t given a list of questions beforehand, so having a mike stuck in your face and asked what the work was about suddenly felt very complicated. As soon as we have the link to the interview I’ll post it on here.
Three more of the artists were leaving on Wednesday, so we decided to have a last night out together. The evening started really nice with a meal out, but sort of degenerated after a call in to the liquor store. No, it was really a great evening, but I kind of felt rough the next day.
I bought a pair of sunglasses from the dollar store and joined Debra on the airport run to drop off Bruce and Michael. Two less in the house. We had a meeting afterwards to discuss extending the project further – next year that is. With so much documentation this side, there is more of a possibility of getting funding. This discussion needs to be continued, but we did get the basis of planning started.
We found out that the video made at the preview went live yesterday so we must have watched that about 6 times. Really pleased with this:

Although we were really tired, Debra showed Jean and I how to make a ‘Chunky Journal’ – a hand made book, in the afternoon, back at her house. We only had a couple of hours, but I was thrilled to see the book forming.
Wednesday evening I ran a class from the house. We couldn’t advertise it extensively with it being in the house, but I more than thrilled to get 5 paying attendees ( plus Jean and Debra) I taught them Momigami and we all got our hands really dirty dirty by scrounching up paper. It was a good night, despite feeling like I wanted to nod off several times.
By 10.30, it was time for Kimbal to leave – catching a bus to Toronto to meet his parents.
So now we are two.
Yikes – no, there’s THREE of us left. We all forget about David Cotton for some reason. He’s doing a residency at the Community college, so he leaves really early so that he can get a lift down and we don;t see him all day.
THREE – yes, now there are three of us :-/
