brief update

The guy at Paragon just called - he'd forgotten they're having a three-day show in early March, so I won't hang mine until after that comes down. I'm relieved - I was not looking forward to hanging two shows in what could have been two days.
So don't rush over there to see my work until mid-March! :-)

Busy, busy

Hi everyone -

I just found out in the last couple of days that I've been accepted for shows at the Paragon Ballroom/Cedars Jazz Club (I-25 and Fillmore) and the Pikes Perk on South Eighth. Turns out, they both need work starting in February. As in 11 days from now!

Fortunately, I've got a lot of work on hand - Paragon has room for at least 30 pieces. Also fortunately, they're both willing to have work there for three months or so.

FYI: Paragon doesn't charge a commission and Ron, the guy who books art shows, has been great to work with. The only caveat is they don't want anything risque (and I know you ladies like to raise eyebrows) because they frequently have wedding receptions there - which tends to mean elderly people.

At the very least, I'll get a few more eyeballs on my work. If you're interested, Ron's cell phone number is 510-1450.

The show at Pikes Perk will be Red Rock Canyon photos. Because I just noticed it looks very easy to add images, I'll throw one in here. Well, actually, up there.

See you!

ONE, the MOVIE:

A Contemporary Journey Toward a Timeless Destiny

ONE the Movie, an independent film, has now been seen on five continents by over 100,000 people. The film was made by Ward Powers, a trial attorney and father of three who lives in a suburb of Detroit. After waking one morning with an idea to make a film exploring some of life's big questions, he ordered a video camera and ventured out with two friends and a list of questions designed to discover the meaning of life. No one had any filmmaking experience.

"The universe comes to the rescue when a group of friends decide to step outside the lines of everyday existence. Armed with only a digital video camera, a list of 20 questions and a dream... these suburban dads set out to become independent filmmakers in search of the meaning of life. Miraculously, they are joined in their quest by many of the world’s greatest spiritual leaders, authors, icons and masters of our time. The movie weaves the novice filmmakers’ remarkable adventures with the answers to life’s ultimate questions in a journey that just may transform your way of seeing the world ... as ONE."

Over time, they ended up interviewing great teachers, leaders and philosophers, including Deepak Chopra, Ram Dass, Thich Nhat Hanh, Father Thomas Keating, Riane Eisler, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Robert Thurman, Father Richard Rohr, Sufi Sheik Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Mantak Chia, Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev, and many others.

The film will be shown in Denver on Friday, January 19th, and Saturday, January 20th. Since it is an independent film, it is not showing in first run theatres and has been brought to Denver by Kerensa Meadows of Connecting Heart Spiritual and Life Coaching. Come see the movie with others and explore some of these questions together.
