My friend, Greg, took this photo this summer.

Lazar's Wedding

I slipped into New York for 30 hours to be there for my pal's wedding. I'm very proud of him. I thought it was wise of John to separate Jennifer's family from the rest of us. Instead of being assigned to the kids' table we got half a room.

Kansas City

My sister is the director of legendary gallery Leedy Voulkos Art Center. She curated a massive group show that includes me, my wife, my sister, and my brother as well as STRETCH, Hugh Merrill and a number of other important people to her. My family members came in from Minnesota, Michigan, & Iowa for a quick reunion. Our friend, Kevin Dowd was giving us a special behind the scenes tour of the newly rennovated Nelson Atkins Museum of Art when we ran into former kcai school-mate, Robert Parke Harrison.

Random summer stuff

We invited the local fire dept to my son's birthday. They let the kids climb all over and in the truck to try on the gas masks, sit in the drivers seat and check out the tools. Hugo got to shoot the water cannon down the street and the kids got naked and ran around in the water. My buddy Daniel who owns an eatery called Bread & Roses hosted a vintage and classic motorcycle rally on fathers day. And my brother and Alex visited so we surprised him with a visit to the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim. You drive around in your car and Buffalo, Yaks, Elks, and Peacocks follow you around and stick their heads in your window (not the peacocks) for bread. I still have Buffalo saliva all over the side of the CRV. We ended up doing a short hike to the Dungeness Spit. There's also a couple images of a recent show of black and white paintings at The Art Mine by Port Townsend painter Newel Hunter.
