Time Passes. The artists
get older. But they have more art. And some of them have bigger
homes. And are more pregnant. And make art about that.
This year's event was held at Irene & Gary's fabulous new home.
It had a fire burning in the fireplace but wasn't too hot.
Miraculous. Also, this year we were graced with presentations by
visiting artists from the east coast (Brad and Damon!), in addition to
the Nashville contingent. Goal for next year: get Rose to
come from far away Valparaiso. [Is that the right town?]
