the 8th.
no one came in really, I think Kaitlin is getting all the jublie traffic on her friday shifts. though I did enjoy the last few days of the orgins exhibit. I am leaving for Vegas after Saturday shift and soo excited to get out of Laramie for a little while. I did get some sweet sketching done while working, I think the gallery has been most useful for this I mean I can sit and sketch with a room full of inspiration around me! but nothing really went on today I just hung out and no one was there.
10th
the gallery was closed today due to the Orgins exhibit being taken down and the new Frontier sets and scape's show going up! woot so I left for Vegas eairly and will be back on Thurs. just a quick wish list for the gallery, it needs these few things to make it much more efficient and better. A swifter wet jet! ( or all the floors need re sanded and re varnished) also need Internet access this way the interns could email advisers when questions come up or blog as they are working to avoid my three to four days in one blog scenario I get into. also for Kaitlin's sanity we need to paint that front Bord that is black White or else Kaitlin will crack. The gallery also needs a better open sign and the vinyl for the big empty windows because no matter how well they are clean you cant tell there is anything in there until you walk in and not many people are Willing to try without this certainty. anyway its a working list, but I think this summer Kaitlyn and I can work on a few of these.
July 15th
tragedy struck! while I was in Vegas I get a call from Felicia Follum, last semesters intern for the gallery, who says that she herd the gallery window was broken, I was stunned called Nate and he told me that someone had thrown a brick through the window on Saturday night...I was just shocked that some stupid idiot as drunk as they must have been still could do something like that, it was just awful. so I drive home Thurs after getting up at 3am and i drive straight to the gallery for my Thursday shift, don't stop home don't get lunch , just straight to the gallery to meet Kaitlin and check it out. also Katlin didn't know about this until I told her... so we get there and there is a huge white panel in the window where glass once stood. the panel was however neat because one of the vise ting artists painted on it a very nice goat! hey way to get people's attention! yay art! however inside the show is set up but a huge mess is everywhere ( this is what happens when artists set up there own show, the art looks great and the gallery is a mess) the latter was out, the paint cans everywhere, and one of our brand new rollers was left out covered in paint, I tried to stoke it but after and hour I found it to be completely ruined! so Katlin and I started to put everything away and swept and moped when Sterling, one of the artist, came in and put up the vinyl and finished prepping the show, which is good cause the vinal needed to go up however this prevented us from opening on Thursday till about 2pm! bummer. anyway sterling was very nice our families are actually Friends with each other, small world. anyway he left and we had about ten people come in! I think sterling panting on the window panel was a great way to get people to come in! they defiantly notice more. anyway the window should be fixed next week and the show opening is tonight, Kaitlin and I are buying the food from albertson's cause its our store! more later...
