    yup. they plan this stuff out way in advance, i'm glad it's that far off though, gives me time to work on new stuff i might want to include too :)

    it's a local theater but yeah, they get a lot of people wanting the exposure so i feel lucky. i do graphic design as part of my job but the drawings i do are on my own time for my own enjoyment, hopefully i can parlay that into something where i can get some extra cash too
  • How awesome!!! :) So happy for you!!!

    not because of this, no. some personal stuff going on. my heart is going to be a completely ripped mess over the next month so i'm hoping i can focus on this and maybe make some new art to keep myself occupied.

    i know it's an illogical fear, it's like everybody that will be at the party tomorrow are all friends, family and coworkers....but just having my art up on the walls, it's like putting a part of myself up for display. and i hate being the center of attention. makes me wonder why i agreed to the reception part in the first place :o lol

    but thanks, i hope it goes well! if i can manage to sell even one print over the course of a month i'll be happy!

    i know, it was weird cuz i had left work a bit ago, just went in for a little bit to get some stuff shipped out, my dad had called my office to ask me if he could pick anything up for tonite, and then he got a call from a sister who gave him the news, and my sis just called to tell me. he just took off for a walk so i'm gonna go over to their house and spend a little time with them. my mom was upset by the timing.

    i hope tonite goes smoothly anyway

    thanks! trying to keep positive :)
  • last night went well! despite the fact my parents weren't able to be there i had a good turn out, and it came in waves so it wasn't like there were a ton of people and then they all left lol lots of friends, my boss and her daughter, students from the lab came out too. it really touched me to see everybody there.

    one of my friends is dating someone on the city council, he made an announcement about my exhibition at the council meeting! :eek: he also took a pic of me next to my centerpiece print so he could put in the city newsletter :)

    overall it was a great experience, i was so anxious and worried too about the weather deterring folks - it was pouring all afternoon but thankfully the rain stopped like at 5:30 and held off the rest of the night! had a late dinner with friends afterwards.

    OMG i feel SOOOOOOO relieved...whew! i'll share pics when i get them from my sis :)
