storm 021010

A white day full of muf­fled sounds. Almost every­thing a whisper.

The snow is still falling and the sky is the same strange yel­low as last night. Per­fect sym­me­try 12 hours later. It has been a night and day of quiet obser­va­tion. An occa­sional muf­fled voice heard with the crunch of boots on newly fallen snow. It is a joy to be so quiet on the inside too.

Still­ness.

snow right now!

The sky is a weird yel­low and the snow has already cov­ered the cards and side­walks. It’s 9pm. We have less than an inch. I’m plan­ning on adding a num­ber of wid­gets here on the blog tonight.

courtyard

This is what it looked like in our court­yard yes­ter­day. Over night the wind was blow­ing so hard that all the win­dows were cov­ered in snow and we couldn’t see out­side. I found this lit­tle gap and shot the neigh­bors doing some shov­el­ing. Of course after they had spent an hour doing this the snow removal firm showed up and plowed. Silly people.

We usu­ally are parked out there. But with the help of our pals David and E we put our car in a garage for fri­day, stur­day, and Sun­day. We’ll shovel a bit and get it back in place. Thing is we are expect­ing snow again on tues­day and wednesday.

This is our sec­ond huge storm since mov­ing downtown.

Was just over at the Philadel­phia Museum of Art search­ing for their hours on Sun­day. Was try­ing to get over to the Gorky Exhi­bi­tion, spaced that Sun­day was the last day. So why when I come to the wel­come page can’t I find the hours in the footer or a box?

I click Infor­ma­tion. Not there.
I click Vis­it­ing. Quick scan, Not there.
I click sitemap. Not there.

Not until I go back to vis­it­ing do I notice that under Main Build­ing that there are hours another click away. Now when I click hours under Main Build­ing (what­ever that is) I get all the vis­i­tor infor­ma­tion for all of the build­ings. What the &%!.

Putting each drawer in took care­ful aim.

Task com­plete. What a great job.

Craig was an amaz­ingly hard worker while help­ing us move. I think the rewards of going to the cafe for crepes and cof­fee was part of the moti­va­tion to get things done. Still, we had fun mov­ing this piece of fur­ni­ture and he put in each drawer by him­self. He was very pleased when he com­pleted the task. And helped me hang the George Nel­son clock too; mak­ing sure it was straight.

We could still use some of his help.
Maybe I’ll give him a call.

working on the new heavybubble gallery

Work­ing on get­ting the new adven­ture in shape. Still lots of boxes. Still no inter­net. Still tired. This post is just a short note so you know I’ve survived.

Lots of work too do to get set­tled. Excited about the pos­si­bil­i­ties of the new space. We need to paint here too. White is needed. This is a look at some sticky bub­bles that David and Erica picked up for us. I think they’ll be ter­rific on the door. When we open the door to the street you’ll see our bubbles.

Brand­ing for two spaces is going to be challenging.

I’ve got some ideas though.

craig at morning glory, philadelphia

Craig T thinks that Morn­ing Glory is an awe­some place to relax and have a good meal.
He had a ter­rific sand­wich with pota­toes and home­made catsup.

It has been a really fun visit in Philadel­phia so far.

Please come to show your sup­port for the cit­i­zens of Iran, who have risked their lives to protest the ‘offi­cial’ results of the elec­tion. Our silent protest is fol­lowed by a can­dle light vigil to honor the courage of those who lost their lives, to ensure that their voice is not dead, that their mem­ory is with us forever.

Ira­ni­ans around the world voted in the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion of 12 June 2009 (22 Khor­dad 1388) and stand in sol­i­dar­ity with the peo­ple in Iran and their true vote. We in the Iran­ian Dias­pora reject the ‘offi­cial’ results put forth by the Min­istry of Inte­rior and demand that this elec­tion be can­celed and held again. We echo demands that the Iran­ian gov­ern­ment take clear and trans­par­ent mea­sures toward insur­ing that the demo­c­ra­tic process is respected, and cease all vio­lence against the peo­ple. More­over, we demand that the gov­ern­ment respects all the rights of the peo­ple enshrined in the Iran­ian Con­sti­tu­tion, includ­ing: Free­dom of Assem­bly (Arti­cle 27), Free­dom of the Press (Arti­cle 24) and Free­dom from Arbi­trary Arrest and Deten­tion (Arti­cle 32).

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD and invite your friends, fam­i­lies and everyone…

Don’t for­get to wear GREEN.

Date: Thurs­day, June 25, 2009

Time: 6:00–8:00pm
Silent protest: 6:00–7:15pm
Can­dle light vigil: 7:15–8:00pm

Loca­tion: Rit­ten­house square (North Side)
Between 18th and 19th on Wal­nut Street
Philadel­phia, PA 19103

The point is to sup­port the peo­ple of Iran in their demands around this fraud­u­lent elec­tion and to con­demn the vio­lence. Not to push other agen­das. No polit­i­cal fac­tions, NO FLAGS (from any coun­try), let us speak with one voice.
