Had a great weekend. Nice and quiet. Went shoe shopping on Saturday -- didn't buy anything, but it was still fun to shop -- then went to a gallery opening Saturday night. Ran into Jacob Cooley, who told me I was looking very mod. That's my look! I also ran into Toby Gillinkin! She was my art car inspiration: I saw her car in a parking lot in Chapel Hill in 1990 or 91, and it blew my mind. I remember standing there for, I don't know, 10 minutes? -- just staring at all the decorations on her car. I didn't even own a car at the time, but I knew that someday I'd decorate my car too.
I had gotten together with Toby and another local art car driver, Deb Allen, a couple of years ago, but had lost Toby's email address. So I was really glad to run into her again, especially now when I've had a couple of feelers on local art car events! yay! Nothing on the scale of Artscape or Houston, but I'm still thrilled at the prospect of having art car things happening here.
After the gallery I went to the radio station. I ended up playing a 100% indecent show. Except for one request, for "What Do I Get" by the Buzzcocks. There is actually an indecent song on that same album, but it had a big scratch in it so I didn't want to risk it. It wasn't my best show ever, for one thing the all-indecent thing severely limited my choices from the playlist. But it was fun, and the guy who made the request said he was enjoying the show.
Georg congratulated me for getting through the whole show and still managing to say "Some listeners may find the following to be indecent" with a straight face. I must admit, I felt ridiculous after a half hour, but by halfway through the show I was used to saying it over and over. The only downside was that having to cut in and speak before every track meant there was absolutely no flow. Oh well, I still had fun!
Sunday I slept in and then lay around all day. I watched four movies! Well actually, three and a half. I had already started watching The Prince and the Pauper the day before.
