So what’s going on with me? I’ll be at Art House tonight and Bizarre Market saturday. I might be playing softball on memorial day in Springfield. I’m organizing an art show and looking for sponsors. As soon as I decide on a name for the show I’ll officially announce it. I was on vacation Monday thru Wednesday and I’m way behind. It’s easy to fall behind in your urban news in this city. So to catch me, and you, up here’s the news:
