Haven’t made any post in a while … haven’t made a personal post in a long while. The summer for the most part has been great, I’m going to class, understanding the material, I’ve got a great job, and nights out have been memorable. Yesterday, I ended up with my friend V’s camera and found even more moments from these last couple of summer days, so I decided to post some pics - (the PG-13) ones of course.

This post is for Frankie … she’s a kick-ass girl who does too much … slow down girl! She interned this summer at Lawndale Art Center and has been working all Summer Long for this “Big” event. Any artist within 100 miles of Houston with $15 bucks can enter … not all entries will be accepted … so it’ll be interesting to see what gets displayed. It’s called “The Big Show 2006,” and the following paragraph can explain it better …
Not little by any means, ‘The Big Show’ is Lawndale Art Center’s annual open-call, juried exhibition. Held this year from July 21-August 25, the show has been an important venue through which emerging and under represented Houston area artists gain exposure since the show’s conception in 1984. This year’s Big Show is curated by Dominic Molon, the Pamela Alper Associate Curator for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. In 2005, The Big Show drew in over 700 submissions by 329 area artists living within 100 miles of Houston, and the selected exhibition consisted of 113 art works by 74 artists. The opening reception will be held on July 21 from 6:30PM-8:30PM. — Alice Hicks

You’ve heard of plain box spring matresses. You’ve heard of the foam in Tempur-Pedic. Now, sleep on air. No I’m serious, a matress floating in air. It does so using magnet technology to create a strong enough force to hold you and the bed up. Thinking of how awesome that would look in your room? Well think again, it’ll set you back a small $1.5 Mill. Plus its not even as cool when you realize it has 4 cables attached at the corners to prevent it from flipping or going too high.
