I don't have the album, and I don't even particularly love the music... (I do like it) but this video is super cool. Make sure you stick around for the end. |

| Something... | |
|
I feel like something is on the verge of happening. I feel like I am right at the threshold of figuring something out. I am just about to learn something big and important. I spend all of this time whine, whine, whining, but there is SOMETHING just around the corner. I can't explain it. It's like you are just about to come off of that ratchety chain thing that hoists you to the top of the first hill of a great roller coaster. And I have the name of the character for my first book. But I don't know if these two things are related. Anyway, enough with the pukey, profound stuff. I hate facebook. And in the words of a wise person I know, this is why: People friend you who you haven't spoken to or even seen in over 10 years, then they send you stupid little flower people pictures through a Facebook app, over and over again, and they think this makes you closer friends. Yes, thank you high-school-person-who-I-barely-even-talked-to-when-I-actually-was-in-high-school for the Apple Buddy, the Choco-Hug, the NKOTB sticker, and the invitation to write "25 random things" about myself. Also, if you could take some serious issues, and make them seem like they are just below the Apple Buddy and the Choco-hug in importance, that would be great. I'm not trying to be a party pooper here, I'm just saying. Also, notice that I still check my facebook 3 times a day. Join my Mob Wars! |

to never do NaBloPoMo again. 10 days. jeez. I did better last year I think. I even had the post started, it was called "Happy Veteran's Day" and I never hit 'Submit' before I left for work. I then, obviously, didn't remember this fact until 12:22. Too late. It's probably better this way. I am in an art exchange group and haven't finished my piece to send to Germany yet. I am volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club for their after school program once a week starting on Monday. The next art class that I'm doing starts pretty soon. I'm hosting a birthday party/UFC fight party this saturday and have not cleaned anything, bought presents or even thought about food for it. I'm working a 16 hour shift tomorrow. I have not done a single thing Christmas related yet. And I might have pinkeye. So, my apologies, NaBloPoMo, but this just wasn't the year for you. |

Disclaimer: Yes, I also see the hundred typos in my blog posts. I don't want to go back and fix them because if that changes the date/time of my post, it won't look like I posted every day for NaBloPoMo. So just appreciate my typos as I have come to. Thanks to Jen Lemen and Mike Randall for reading my blog and taing the time to write back to me on Twitter. That was awesome. Right now I am watching my husband play a preview level of Braid on Xbox 360. It looks pretty cool. And the music pretty much rocks. The backgrounds are beautiful. Well that was an easy sell, he's buying the full game as I type. I can't wait to play it. The music sounds Irish to me. I don't really understand how you can die if you can always go back in time, but I suppose I probably have to play it to figure that out. ok. I can't think of anything else. Consider this a post, please. |

| Christmas in the Country | |
|
Today I went to a huge craft show in Hamburg, It was called Christmas in the Country, and my plan was to write a whole review of it. What I thought was cool, what was totally underpriced and awesome, unknown folk artists about to make their break. Instead, an open letter. To all Western New York Crafters: 1. Do not be afraid of photography. Someone could just as easily buy one of your pieces and copy it. Let people take pictures. Especially if the reason they are taking pictures is to put your business online at no cost to you. Seriously, you should be confident enough in your art that when someone takes a picture of it you can be fairly sure that copying it would be futile. Be confident! I could have certainly taken a picture of the beautiful pottery, yarn jewelry, basket furniture, gourd sculptures, and nails hammered in to wood art pieces, and NEVER dne as well as you people. Don't fear my photos. Many other people, as well as I, want to promote you. We want to see WNY craft build and expand and sell to new markets. 2. Get aquainted with the internet. If I ask you if you have a website, and your answer is "I can't mass market like that," you have missed the boat. Web 2.0 is not about mass marketing. It is the opposite. I'm nat asking you if you can give me 23 pieces of art in 4 days, when I ask you if you have a website. I am asking you if you have a place online to display the beautiful work you do. The website can tell people what shows you will be at. You can actually do commisions for people that live in cyberspace. You can creat a virtual gallery that will display and advertise your work to the world. Do not be afraid of a website. Use it for what you want. Display your stuff, sell your stuff. Love your stuff and others will too. This is not hard. I will do it for you. This was totally not meant as a commercial but if you seriously cannot figure how to get your art on the internet, email me at kelly (at) kellygenet (dot) com and I will gladly be your website goddess. Don't be afraid of what you can do in the wide world of cyberspace. It is just waiting for you. |
