Computer woes and crossed eyes

Since this temporary electronic imprint of what I love to do has been updated: my computer finally gave up the ghost, have been using other people’s computers which makes me feel like a jerk, have had some amazing art shows, pooped out the best artwork I have ever pooped, got a haircut, and my son is now a 7th grader. Things have been crazy but amazing, and it seems as though winter may *no jinx* be coming to an end. These are the shows I have for July, and would love to see you out and about.

best as always,

Christmas time.

It’s been a busy weird week.  Cody left for California, then Arizona for his holiday grandparents visit.  Krist left later that evening for Wisconsin.  Then Beeky left for Wisconsin a few days later.

Sooo…me and the kitty are holding down the fort.  Scary quiet in the house, but taking these few days of alone to work a bunch and get things organized for 2010.  It was a beautiful day out, and I really enjoyed just being outside, mobbin all over Portland putting up flyers and watching people rush around getting the last of their holiday together.  Honestly, it was nice just watching, not having to worry about keeping guests happy, doing dishes, forgetting something and having to run to the store, ect.  It was just me and my bike, and the crisp sunny beauty of my city.  Have a wonderful holiday everyone! xoxoxo

Help if you can!

This is a repost of a repost, but please donate if you can! Cyclists are a part of traffic. End of story. There are a ton of us, please keep your eyes out, if you drive a car. Being hit is one of the scariest things out there, please be aware of cyclists, and share the road.

Watch For Bikes!!

It’s definitely been a trying few days. On the night of Saturday October 17th, while riding his bike home, a car hit Ian Mcdougall, guitarist of our band Riverboat Gamblers. He sustained some pretty heavy injuries including a broken hip, a broken wrist and hemorrhaging under the skull along with many lacerations, torn ligaments, bruises and and scrapes.

He was rushed by ambulance to Brackenridge hospital in Austin and stayed in the ICU for 2 days before being moved into his own room where he is undergoing physical therapy while awaiting the results on X-rays and MRIs as well as a deluge of other various tests.

That being said, the prognosis is better than we had first thought. We are happy that he is going to be ok and that he is alive and with us. Unfortunately, not only is he in for a long recovery and is in a lot of pain, but he will be celebrating his birthday in bed with hospital food.

On another unfortunate note, there are a pile of bills currently gaining a Mt. Everest-like summit from all his hospital expenses. We set up a PayPal account for our band mate and friend to try and help him get on top of the debt and focus on his recovery. His PayPal account email is ian.gambler@gmail.com. Anything you can afford to give will be greatly appreciated by Ian and his family. Thank you all for your support and we wish Ian the speediest of recoveries.
