Will I make it through this night? While biking into town I noticed things looking pretty typical of suburbanite America except for Mt. Ranier in the background. It was almost unreal, like some fake back drop found only in movies. I'd love to spend some time exploring this city but I'm so broke I can hardly make it worthwhile. I'll have to kill somehow...
Payed a visit to Tacomas Museum of Glass. Its strange, for the size of the place you'd think there'd be more to it. Just three galleries and the hotshop inside the ridiculous cone. Karen LaMonte had a show up, her "Absence Adorned" cast glass dresses. Totally sweet. Everybody should check her out. Look up her website, her work is amazing. It was awesome to see them in person. I especially enjoyed the reclining figures, you could tell she molded them directly off a live model. Must've been an intense process.
Did some gallery hoppin' in the area. Mostly uninspiring glass shit, but glass shit nonetheless. In a way I can feel that I've found the community that will be able to support my interests. I'm not sure how the process needs to play out from here but this scouting mission was probibly a good start.
Man I've been sick the last couple of days which has made being homeless a total drag. I'm gonna get to Seattle tomarrow. I'm definately going to gallery hop and I might (if I'm crazy enough) buy a ticket to Bumbershoot for sunday. That'll keep me occupied until monday afterwhich I hope Alicia turns up 'cause otherwise I'm positively screwed. One day I'll get my shit together, settle down and do some real work. Meanwhile I'm having too much fun being a loony, fucked up, transient mooch. The End.
