Sorry to keep being so absent. The art show now has a date, 11 Oct. Will be me & a few others showing & selling. i have over 200 pieces, some are the framed paintings (well, most are colored pencil drawings) with the buttons for frames, a lot are just mounted on firmer paper, also out of my art i made a ton of greeting cards, i glued my art down to greeting card paper stock, complete with envelopes, & i also used the old fashioned cassette tape plastic cases into frames. i reduced several of my art & glued these inside, & on the back put a string to hang on the wall. All my art is ready to go. Still might have to make the food (Vegan sausages & Vegan crackers), but a group called “Food Not Bombs” may cater. They are an activist group that generally feeds the homeless and hungry. One of the woman showing with me works with Food Not Bombs & is going to ask if they will cater. They do catering to big events, like Animal Rights conferences, etc. Also will have sparkling cider & hoping to get plastic champagne glasses for these, hee hee, like they do in upscale art galleries. Also hoping to have a friend play his guitar, & Arnie’s son may join him. He also sells musical instruments & will have those at the show, too.

And since last week i have been going to & from Oakland, Ca (about 70 miles from where i live) to protest at ringling brothers circus, regarding the abuse the Animals endure. Mostly for the Elephants, but the Tigers, Horses, Etc. You can check out here: https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2359

This week, starting today, i’ll be going back & forth to San Jose (a little farther than Oakland), from Thursday til Sunday. The great part is i found a friend who lives near me, has a mini van, & we go together. i don’t drive, the busses are killer expensive, plus it would take 50 times longer to get there & back.

Then next Tuesday i’ll take the greyhound bus to Sacramento where ringling brothers will be again, i’ll be there from Tuesday til late Sunday.
Another activist has a room reserved from Wed til Sunday. i have to leave on Tuesday in order to be there in time for the events on Wed. my first real trip in a loooong time. Can’t afford it, but i’m going anyway, for the Elephants, Tigers, Horses

Love & Huggggs to you all
