Well now that it seems like I live in the Pacific Northwest going out in the rain is no big deal. I finally got into the Laramie Enduro, but now I am second guessing that decision, as I have felt a bit lazy and unmotivated to get on the mountain bike for some reason, well just this week. Perhaps it was riding 9 days in a row, bad idea. After a week in Houston I was so excited to get back on the bike I went a little crazy. Anyway took yesterday off and, well, felt like I should keep the wheels spinning to get all good and ready for Laramie. Didn't want to drive up to Ned so decided on Heil, which is not my favorite, but it's close and I could get in a short ride.
Saddled up the ol' blacksheep and headed out under low clouds blanketing the foothills, reminiscent of my time riding a real horse across the Mongolian steppes. Ran into Bobbie Bensman, on her road bike. She started talking about the Vapor Trail 125 and that got me thinking about entering, but found out it's full and there's a waiting list, that might be a good thing.
Luckily I got a late start this morning and avoided the marble size hail that pounded Heil Ranch. The hail looked like snow, and for a minute I thought I had traveled back in time to March. I got rained on the entire ride but I am used to it, now that I live in PNW climate, so no biggy. Along the ride I started to notice all these cacti bunnies and snapped quite a few photos, they were everywhere. I have a strange obsession with bunnies, as is expressed in my art.
Art, hmmm, yea need to get on it. I just can't seem to get away from the bike and it's difficult for me to fit in both. Lately I find myself doing more business related to art. Sending portfolios, working on the new website, sending images, securing shows, etc. etc. I have been thinking of new ideas and projects, but at times I feel like I need an army to execute these grandeous ideas.
I just got into
Art Prize an American Idol type of contest. Catch is that it's in Grand Rapids, Michigan but there is large amount of money being offered to the winners. So who knows, the chances are very slim, but I got into my top choice venue which is an art museum located in the old Federal Building. More to come on that later. Will probably be requesting folks who know people in Grand Rapids to come out and cast their vote for an inflatable rabbit and rubber rabbits.
