Tough Times, a day at the ministorage

Today, I had a bit of a realization of how tough the times are. I was helping my brother move the inventory of his patio furniture business into a mini-storage facility off Lake Street today. Four of us and two professional mover guys spent the majority of the day moving hundreds of boxes by hand from the old warehouse in NE Minneapolis to the third floor of the mini-storage in Uptown.

This hasn’t been too far fetched since we had our work up at 2nd Moon all summer with an opening for my work in May, Red Hot Art in June, 2 Shelter gigs in Sept, a Shelter gig in Oct, and Shadow and Sound  in Nov.

Here are some updates in my world… I got a call yesterday from Petra (my fav barista) at 2nd Moon coffee shop to confirm my solo show in May. In spite of having to hang the show in less than 15 days, I am wicked excited. The series is coming along quite...
