 It's been a busy week everybody. I took an adventuresome trip to North Carolina last Thursday and while I usually focus on the artists, I think I'll share a little of my experience. Highlights included an intimate presentation to 15 MFA students at Chapel Hill about HubBub's residency (everyone was very impressed), a free ticket to Cirque de Soleil in Greensboro (where the man seated next to me becamse very friendly...he put his arm around me at one point and kept offering me popcorn), and finally a 3 hour tour of an amazing artist-in-residence program in Greensboro called "Elsewhere". Elsewhere is the craziest place I've ever been (see photo). Basically, artists come and live in this space for a month and create site specific installations out of all the junk that has been housed in this: ex-furniture-store-turned-army-surplus-store-turned-thrift-shop-turned-house-of-pact-rat for the last 50 years. You wouldn't believe it. Learn more at www.elsewhereelsewhere.org Tuesday I drove down to Savannah to give a presentation at SCAD. Tune in next week for an update on that.
And now for an update on the artists because...well...they've been busy too.

Potluck and Fun was a big hit again this past Saturday. There was plenty of Bollywood and Indian food for all. Sorry I missed it - good job Derya for putting these great nights together. Rachel and Nicholas headed out to Jazz on Main to spread the word about Hub-Bub. Look for Arielle and Derya this upcoming Friday at Jazz on Main before you head over to The Showroom for the Wiyos. As far as projects go: Nicholas and Derya are talking installations, Arielle is painting on glass and getting geared up to help out at the Deaf and Blind School, Rachel's doing Poetry Outloud, Nicholas is making kid-friendly art or the Cannon's Show which goes up on Monday at Cannon's Elementary. Come see what they've been working on as they'll all be exhibiting there. The show will be hung on Monday and you can check it out for the next month anytime after that.
That's about it. Come hang out tonight for the film "We are Traffic" and stop by tomrrow night for the Wiyos.
