 You've seen them on our website, read about them on their blogs and in the Herald Journal and seen their studios in The Link. If you read my weekly update (which clearly you do), you've gotten an in-depth and insightful summary of their life in Sparkle City every seventh day for the past 2 months. Maybe you've even been by the Showroom and met them. And soon...you'll be able to see them on the big screen. (Depending on what size television you have that is). It was an exciting Monday morning over here when Spartanburg's City Channel film crew rolled in and set up their cameras. Look for the AIRs to air sometime in late August. You won't even have to Tivo it...apparently it runs about five times daily...

Despite the heat, we've remained incredibly active over here. Last Wednesday we were given a tour of the Johnson's art collection over at the Carolina First Building. It's a pretty sweat little collection of paintings by Southern artists. And by little I mean that it covers almost every square inch of wall space on four floors of expansive office space. Reminded me a little of my art collection. The AIRs have remained busy as usual. Especially with the launching of their "August Initiative". Arielle and Rachel helped Hub City last weekend during the Writer's Conference...sounds like it was fabulous. Rachel continues to write, read, and interview interesting people. Arielle's been experimenting with some new etching techniques as well as playing enough Wii Tennis to win the video game Olympics. Im not yet sure what Wii is but it sounds fun and addictive. Derya is knitting and planning "potluck and fun" nights. The first will be on August 18th and you should all come eat some food and watch a movie with us. Look for details via Ms. Altan. Nicholas is busy making art as usual, helping out with some cool t-shirt designs for Hub-Bub, and making us all smile with his Hollywood fashion sense.
