I got me some WordPress Upgrade Blues
First they let you know that there is a new upgrade. The write up is enticing in that it promises that THIS version will fix so many little things that have been driving everyone crazy. So I get reeled in. I kind of remember how much of a pain in the ass it was last time i upgraded the software.

I Love my Moo Cards
I’ll admit it I am a blatant, copy cat. Shannon Baird, my new best friend from Portland Oregon had these moo cards as her biz cards. I adored them and had to have some myself. So I went to the Moo Card site and ordered some. Of course I used my own name and address on mine.
You can use over 50 templates or you can use your own photographs that are divided into little moo sized bits. They are very cool. I also bought the little white moo card dispenser about the size of pez, which is fun to whip out to present someone with your card. Check it out.

Everybody Loves Trailer Trash
The other day at Danneman’s Coffee Grant Henry was royally obsessing about Hollis’s upcoming party for the release of her new book, Trailer Trash and he was blathering on about hoping that at least 25 people would show up for the party. Grant was especially worried after the AJC’s Access Atlanta came out last week with the wrong date!

Eileen Gets Gussied Up
After catching a look at Lucious Lamar, who it turns out is only a step-brother she has never met, Eileen decided to get dressed up in case he drops by for a visit. Problem is Grant hasn’t seen Luscious since someone borrowed him and Grant can’t remember who. So if you know where Lucious ran off to please let me know. Grant would like him to come home and Eileen is waiting.

Meet Lucious Lamar
Grant Henry is wicked funny. I just about died laughing when I got his e-mail with several pictures of Lucious Lamar, Eileen’s horny, alcoholic brother. Oh my god, they are funny and damn, so is Grant.

Meet Eileen
This was one of my better finds. Sam Crawford was moving his video production studio, Mamarama, from 130 Krog Street to LA last month. I bought a couple of big items from him for Mary’s studio while he was moving out. When I came to get my things from his office, Sam pulled out a large box and gave it to me and said you can have this wooden model, I have never put even put her together. He said, your sister can have her if whenever she sees her she sends good thoughts to my for my company.
Friday afternoon when I went to the Felted Heart studio, Mark, Mary and Sean had put her together as a surprise for me. It made me smile. Mary’s husband, John, named her Eileen because she does.

Mark Needelman, The Art of Construction
Mark Needelman is an artist first and a construction person only by happenstance since he really is an artist in everything he does and he one of those people who can do anything ( welds, sews, makes airplanes, fixes cars, does concrete sculptures, dances, does CPR on people choking in restaurants, listens carefully). I have had the pleasure of working with him on Mary Sweeney’s Felted Heart studio. It was a dumpy little cinderblock cave and together we transformed it into a wonderful work space in the 658 Studios on Angier Avenue.
