We attended the Squeaky Wheel member show where @terry was elected to be a board member on his way to becoming the treasurer.

I have been working a bunch on the cycles project coming to the Burchfield Penney. RPCI donated the old intranet server to the project. Here you can see it in its new home which is not really the environment it was used to. At one point someone was sweeping up the dust in the room.

The server is used to process weather data and create playlists for the server.

Inspired by the Haters Gonna Hate unicorn bike meme from a while back I decided to make @mike a bike unicorn for his birthday. The materials I had where copper piping, a blow torch and some solder and flux from the hose repair project. This makes me think I could make those sprinklers. I kind of want one that looks like a unicorn throwing up.

Had a great time at the City Of Night event at the silos. The art was interesting, we saw so many people we know, and we danced. I even saw people I know from middle school which was so last century.

We all danced our asses off. I felt so bad for @Dianne as I know she loves it so much but its gotta hurt with that shoulder. At one point I inhaled a lot of rust by accident and could talk normal for about an hour. I hope I don't come down with some rare iron borne bacterial infection.

















This was by far the best piece.

We saw this at an art store here in Key West. The one giving birth has a little nonkey head crowning.

He was hungry for the crocheted food and rats.

We hit up the annual Peep Show fundraiser art show for Squeaky Wheel. It was at Dnipro, The Ukranian Center at 562 Genesee St. This makes it two weekends in a row at that place.

I had such an amazing night. Saw a lot of people I had not seen in a while. I only wish we had gotten there a little earlier so I could have seen Holly and Brian's video. I think I missed a lot of stuff but I got a great picture of @holly in her costume with the homunculus.



I got to wear my new red photographer pants from express with my white crystal fox tail. People seemed to really love that one. I got lots of compliments although I think some of it was just people blinded by chest fur and red suspenders.


I had the most fun in the ball pit. I think I was there for an hour. The artist had set up an adult ball pit and filled it with crocheted food, condoms, and rats. It was pretty hillarious. The detail work on the food was awesome.

Somehow, everytime I hang out with Rita, I never manage to say goodbye. She is so fun.


The whole evening was pretty awesome until wee hours when everything fell apart.

We ended up having an impromptu party last night. A bunch of people came back from comedy night with @heidi and then @terry came back with robert, john and e:yesthatscacey. We tried out the rock-it 3.0 on a the styrofoam frim the chocolate fountain packaging and it was amazing. styrofoam is definately the way to go.

I finally broke out the colored pencils that @hodown and I had bought back on our thanksgiving trip.

I also realized I like making paper dolls. Now I just need better scissors. Robert had on the cutest lilac cowboy shirt. I was jealous. I wish I got a picture. As you can see in the picture.

@mike saw this the other day at the mall, I thought it was cute but not $50 worth.

We headed up to silo city last night for the art shows. The art was really good, from photography to installation. They had multiple grain silos open with exhibits in each silo, as well as, music in the middle of the open area between them.

We escaped into the darkness as for a bit and found a silo which had the bottom of the funnel part sawed or rusted off. We put our heads up inside and the sound was incredible. A giant confined space, echo chamber, stories high and probably 40 ft in diameter. With @terry and @enknot singing it was so awesome. Even clapping was awesome.

The only bad part was all of the rust in the air made my eyes and lungs hurt. Especially the first time we were in there and @terry thought it was funny to be smashing on the metal funnel. Every time he did it prices of rust fell from the ceiling.

I had @terry capture the sound on my phone


All in all it was a great time. I wish I could have taken more pics but it was too dark or I was having too much fun most of the time.
