Contest winner and Tampa art happenings
The winner of my exciting art contest is Barbara Waters for her super-duper spooky poem! So, I’ll be sending out her book on Monday!
Now for the excitement. Tomorrow, there will be an art festival in Ybor City (part of Tampa). I’ll be there taking pictures, interviewing artists, and generally making a nuisance of myself.
Tickets are $8, and there will be jugglers, puppeteers, an art gallery showing, and so much more! Thanks to some of my friends who told me about this event. My friend Kenny is a juggler and will be there showing off his mad skills.
I have some video of his contact juggling and fire breathing on my other blog.
Before I head out to the art festival, I will be at Flavor Fest, a big-time Christian type hiphop festival. I’ll be there doing some research for an article I’m working on; it should be interesting.
Before I sign off, I thought I’d mention something I saw on Barbara Waters’s blog while I was grabbing my link for her contest winning announcement.
Halloween’s over, so quite a few people are moving their focus over to the winter holidays, i.e. the gift-giving holidays. I found this on Barbara’s blog:
I decided to take the pledge; every year I make my presents, unless I give someone a book from my overwhelming collection. Or, I buy from the artists I’ve found on Etsy. You can also take the pledge. My recommendation is to go to Etsy. They have a huge selection of products for Yule, Christmas, Channukah, Kwanza, Hunnuwanzmas, and any other holiday we can think of to give presents on.
