Hi All,<br><br>Thanks for the mention and the kind words.<br><br>Fellow
Dorkboter extrordinaire Simran Gleason will be showing at ON Gallery in
April opening this coming First Thursday April 2nd.<br><a href="http://ongallery.org/location.cgi" target="_blank">http://ongallery.org/location.cgi</a><br><br>Hi 'ambient interactive' piece "Haunted Garden" is something I'm very excited about. I hope you are too.<br>
<br>Simran and I are already discussing events for April and a Dorkbot
social (maybe a figure drawing class??) is on that short list. More
info to follow!<br><br>I'd love to show Dorkbot. One of my favorite
things from last year was the gallery's OSCON booth which several of
you participated in.<br>
<br>October is open at the moment, which is actually a really good
month.
The first couple weeks are usually dry and it's dark enough outside in
the evening that the windows really pop to draw folks in. I envision a
call for participants over the summer and final work needing to be
ready to go by early September (a very busy time with TBA and musicfest
and whatnot) and then we'd put the show together.<br>
<br>Let's keep this conversation going.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>ben<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 10:23 AM, Mykle Hansen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mykle@mykle.com">mykle@mykle.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I've personally thought time and again about signing up for some art classes, but having some taught to us as a group would be excellent. Some basic craft classes would be good too: fiber arts, woodworking, etc. <br>
<br>Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas on how to get this going at the moment, but I'll think on it -- anyone else?<br></div></div><br></div></div> <div>_______________________________________________<br>dorkbotpdx-blabber mailing list<br>
