It's been a very good, fun, long weekend. I'm functioning in a rich sleep deficit now that will reveal it's degree more as the week progresses I'm sure. Thursday I went with RavenGirl to the Burning Man talk by Larry Harvey at the Rich Auditorium. That was followed by a late night dinner with the nice boy.

Friday evening into the wee hours was spent with the Grateful Glutton crew at the Ripe Atlanta event at City View Sculpture. We all went in costume, bearing gifts for the event. The event's turnout I'm sure was cut down dramatically by an impressively intense storm just minutes after things started that lasted an hour-ish. We watched lawn furniture being blown across the neighborhood from the front porch while we waited for the wind, rain and lightening to quiet down enough to make it out. The rest of the night was perfect - no more rain at all and comfortably warm, especially for those in cozy, layed costumes. The sculptures were incredible and beautiful. Movement. Fire. Participation. Performance.

Saturday was the Artery iron pour in Emory Village. Tommy and Chantell made it out and to the pour and carved sand molds. Envie performed in the courtyard. There was a bigscreen presentation on the gamelon that was quite well done. That entire evening for me went on till today.

Then today started with brunch with the nice boy in Decatur, riding around in his jeepster that he's now trying to sell, on a glorious warm sunny day. That was immediately followed by all-day laundry, darning a snipped shirt from Friday night and a visit with the family.

Now I am tired and I must sleep.
