Paste Up 2008

Finally I got around to scanning the post card for the Paste-Up show! I think I may need an update in the scanner department- this one is very aged, and unlike wine, it is not improving. But I digress. I spent yesterday gallery-sitting for the show but alas and alack, it was rainy and cold AND it was Father's Day so the traffic in downtown Lowell was a bit sparse. At one point I was standing in the doorway and a woman stopped to read the placard outside so I hit her like a football tackle and made her endure my little tour of the pieces in the show I liked best. She was interested, but kept glancing out the door like waiting for the police to drive by and save her from this kidnapping. Also had a group of three come by, a friend of mine who had been steered over to the gallery by my compadre at the quilt museum, and her guests from New Zealand. So, it was a slow day. Not too many dads say to their kids, "Hey, I'd really like to go to the Paste Up collage show today!" as a way to celebrate. Oh well.

The opening was the night before and it was pretty well attended.

The 'dad' of this house spent the day playing golf in the pouring cold rain, then home again to his place in front of the tv for a marathon of basketball, baseball, and golf (not in that order). In fact the golf part isn't finished yet and we have to take our positions at noon to continue. I was going to take him out to dinner but he wouldn't budge, and instead of even cooking he requested a Sweet Tomatoes pizza. So, it was a Mother's Day too.

During my down time at the gallery yesterday (between watching Ming Tsai kill a lobster on my phone and corralling dog walkers on the street) I actually did some stitching. Today I pursue that plan with the hopes that it will actually be something someday. Lettuce Prey
