End of Semester=Busy, Beginning of Summer=Just as Busy
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008In the last three weeks I installed my work at the SAIC Graduate Exhibition, attended the openings to NEXT and said SAIC Graduate Exhibition (and probably a few others), launched a new, WordPress-ified version of fnewsmagazine.com (a student publication of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago), had a record release party for my roommates friend, Dietrich Gosser, at our place and had lunch with the F News staff and school president at The Cliff Dwellers where I also managed to hear Edward Hopper’s biographer, Gail Levin, give a short talk.
The next three weeks look to be just as packed. There’s still a large drawing and even larger paper to be completed for school, my mom and sister are coming to visit, Fuck Shit City is going into the studio to record our first #1 hit single, work will begin on the show I’m co-curating at Devening Projects and Editions, a couple of freelance web projects should be launching and the Rock Lotto show will be happening which is a bunch of bands that were formed by drawing names from a hat and have three weeks to write and rehearse an original song. I’m playing drums in Onion Rings and BBQ Sauce (unless we change our name).
Luckily I’ve already secured employment for the summer. I’ll be back at the consulting firm I worked for between semesters full-time and doing some work on fnewsmagazine.com here and there. Also fortunate is the fact that I will have a studio at school for the summer and won’t have to schlep everything home only to bring it back in a couple months.
