Skowhegan14

So it's been a couple of days since I posted anything due to both me being busy but also the frequent storms that knock out the internet here/force the computer lab to close. Yesterday I worked with Fresco for 12 hours straight. It's a strange and unruly/antiquated medium that very few facilities in the US are equipped to teach. I liked the fact that it was a new skill that I feel I can use if necessary but don't really see myself getting too involved with. I don't have any photos of it but I will in the coming days so I'll post em' when I get em'. Instead here are some photos of the other night when i got invited (only a handful of people get invited) to a post-lecture reception which I went to following the really great lecture by Harmony Hammond. The post lecture receptions are held in the very secret and isolated "red barn". Its a very amazing house built in the 40s with wood and other building materials from barns and other recycled parts which make the place feel like it's from the 19th century. It's definitely haunted too.One of the participants is a bonified palm reader she read all of our palms and it was actually pretty amazing. For most of the reception I just hung out on the porch with the staff members whom after chatting up my knowledge of bad movies promised me they'd smuggle me out with them when they goes see Batman when it opens. I am very much excited about this.
