PLEASE VOTE.

Please help us out and vote on your favourite pieces of artwork for the upcoming art show at the Edge Gallery August 6-12.

First in a series of polls leading up to our art exhibit for Rachel Boese Art @ the Edge Gallery from August 6-12.  The first exhibit for this talented young artist is also her last ( for the next few years anyway). Rachel is leaving for the west coast to attend an art school and pursue her dream. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Rachel Boese Art Exhibit Underway.

Rachel Boese Art. This is how the show/exhibit is going on. Set for August 6-12 at the Edge Gallery in the Exchange of Downtown Winnipeg. We are having an opening night on the Friday. Admission is up to the partakers all based on donation. There will be a variety of artwork from teeny tiny small to huge water colours and acrylics.

The story behind Rachel Boese and her art is simply that she is a talented young artist who has been accepted into to famous art school, Emily Carr in Vancouver and is leaving at the end of the summer. this exhibit is sort of a send off for Rachel and she embarks on her artist's journey. My suggestion, grab a painting before she's famous!

Rachel is known for her Marilyn Monroe collection. In addition to the paintings, Rachel has a wide variety of photography, mostly outdoor stills. These photos are very unique and done really well.

I look forward to working with Rachel and Serena from the Edge Gallery. It's a great chance for me to use my experience in PR and advertising. As well, it's a great way for me to help out a friend and plan something special.

We will have musical guests perform on Saturday August 7th. Be on the lookout for core area poster advertisements, announcements, and Facebook invites!

Follow Up

Well I'm baaack. Nothing really to blog about over here, hence my lack of blog posts. I lost track of the weeks, might be around week six?

I've done so much on my summer to do list. Unfortunately it doesn't feel like enough and the summer seems to be flying by.

Joey is registered in school and a daycare that is situated in the school. The subsidy forms have been sent. Soccer practice will be over at the end of the month. And now it's time to find my little hellion another sport or activity.

I've been working as a promotions host for CURVE 94.3 and 99.9 BOB FM since the beginning of May. It's actually quite fun and I get to meet all kinds of interesting and cool people.

The art show I was intending to put on will be during the week of August 6-12. Still a lot of work needed to be done on that one. We Hope to get a liquor license and have two musical acts perform. Fliers and ads must be designed. As well as a whole lot of planning.

I've been having a stressful month at my other job. So this much needed vacation we are going on this weekend will be exactly what I need to chill out. We have been invited for a cabin/cottage birthday party on the beach. NO CHILDREN. Hot tub, satellite TV, you name it.

And the best part is that I get to drive there in my new car, purchased on Friday.

On the down side, IPP production is still lacking. I need to book a ghost tour soon!! Instead of filming early since I am way busier than I thought I would be, I'm going on the tours, meeting people, picking my spots, exploring the spots, writing the script, taking photos, setting up interviews, and setting up Facebook invites for shooting dates.

Ps. And I have to start reading assigned books for Chris Pety's Canadian Literature class in the fall...
