Woozy with Cider - Selling Lemons

Just don't compromise as an Artist. Its okay if that means you and I are poor, for poor is a relative term; this does not mean you and I are a cliche. Everyone else may compromise, and you and I will remain original. One day soon, we will change history for our originality - and so the story goes - so I believe.

Tomorrow I awake at a bird's-crack-of-dawn 7am, in a 5-year-old's bed that I have to lay diagonal to stretch out in. I'll have a run, pack my camera bag and jump into a magic vehicle heading into the wild-blue-rainy-yonder of 2010 Sasquash Festival http://www.sasquatchfestival.com/. This opportunity came at 10pm Friday night as I shared beautiful wine at Volterra http://www.volterrarestaurant.com/with Ken, Brian and friends http://www.facebook.com/KenStringfellow?ref=search&sid=8lk_5y9qYgbvwSlAUa0pPQ.231058148..1. My plate contained Oxtail and asparagus, beautifully cooked. I tasted Veal from another plate and shared laughs with everyone.

Another note, early today at Queen City Grill (www.queencitygrill.com), I met with my dear friend David Remer of Remer Inc (http://www.remerinc.com/). I can't underestimate the value of a friendship that is a difference in age and wisdom. We were study buddies at the University of Washington in Art History. Oh the challenge and arguments we ignited within each other - with vigor and passion - each showing how much we knew, and well, really didn't know about facts, therefor created bullshit. Remer, much better at the latter than I, got the A. How thankful I am for his laughter, sense of humor, intelligence, enthusiasm for life and my constant challenger in Art.

So I end here.
