Sliiiiimer.

What's cool about being back in school is, even though I'm planning on playing hooky tomorrow (it's not that bad.. one of the two classes I'd have is cancelled anyway), and even though my classes are simple and largely patronizing, I still feel that my time is much more productively spent on the whole. You know, in the /Cosmic/ sense.

I've got a lot to do in the next couple of weeks; can't have this show being an abysmally embarrassing failure.

Here's another list, this time of things I need to do to be ready/prepare for the show:

1. Finish the paintings I'm working on.
2. Start and finish at least four, preferably five others.
3. Somehow obtain some old wood or something for those five other paintings to be on. Some some some!
4. Get a few pairs of shoes.
5. Paint those few pairs of shoes.
6. Take some decent photographs of some of my pieces.
7. Design and print postcard/flyer thingies of those photographs to distribute and hyperbolize.
8. Design and print namecards to hand out in effort to seem much more legitimate than I actually am.
9. Get Sheldon's bass built.
10. Figure out how the hell I'm going to hang everything.
11. Do some reconnaissance. I haven't even seen the place I'm going to be showing yet.
12. Get in talks with the folks at Atlas about when and where and whatnot.
13. Make sure Razi and Amaryllis understand that I'm serious about the reception being entirely their responsibility.
14. Be really picky and finicky about the reception they plan.
15. Figure out a way to convince people to come to a vegan Straight-Edge art reception.
16. Come to terms with the fact that no one will show up to a vegan Straight-Edge art reception, as it really isn't the art that brings people out in the first place.
17. Pay escorts to dress hip and trendy and cool and show up at the reception to mingle with the four or five people I'll be able to guilt into attendance.
18. Figure out a way to incorporate Revolver Ocelot into the reception so, even if they hate my art, no one can deny that I have the cutest, awesomest roommate of all time.
19. Invite Biz Markie to the reception.

Phewfta. I'ma be a busy boy!
