New Project

Well, last night Andrew and I found a new thing out about Lubbock!  Apparently Lubbock likes ART! :)

Our wonderful landlord had invited Andrew and I to a pre "Art Trails" party, and then a caravan trip through the art trails. (so first, yes we hang out with our landlord.........really? who does that right? but ours is amazing....so we do)  (and, second we walked across the street (to our landlords house) and had a pre art trails drink)

To get on with it, we went to the Lubbock Art Trails......It was so neat.  We went downtown and seriously every little nook and cranny of downtown was filled with music and art.  It was so great.  At times like these I wished more than anything I had my camera......(my stolen camera) back.  It was so cool and so inspiring.  We saw some serious abstract art, crazy paintings, wonderful photography, jewelery, sculptures, woodworking, statues, and atfully inspired people. It was so great (did I already say that?), Andrew and I felt like we were at home, between living in SLO all the way up to Willits......we feel so comfortable around hippie colorful people.  It was really nice, and I thouroughly enjoyed it.  One really cool thing that we saw is glass blowing!  I signed myself up for a CLASS!  How cool is that.  Apparently my landlord is friends with the guy who does the glass blowing, so....I cant wait for that!

Anyway, there is something that I have been wanting to do for a while now, and I dont really have a camera to do it with. But I have a new project that I want to start. 

Lubbock, although its kind of a funky huge city with a small town feel, has some cool things!  I decided that I want to go around and take pictures of all of the company signs.  most definitely not all of them, but the cools ones.  I thought it would be fun. However, I have to save up to replace my camera that.......ahem someone broke into my house and stole! :( Im still bitter......can you tell.

Anyway, I was very pleased with the art trial and cant wait to do it again. The only thing I think that they should have to improve the trial.....is add a farmers market!!!! :)
