Long time, no see

So mad props to Raymond for keeping us alive here on the YR blog. Elaine, Seth, Gene and myself - huge slackers. Plus, I have to say that Raymond is a pretty good writer and has kept me current.

But nonetheless, I have something to add! One of the most influential professors I had in undergrad at the University of Texas, Mel Ziegler, is doing a project here in Houston with BBAP. There's a description of it on the website there, but in short Mel is getting non-art types that work in those glass boxes downtown to share some of themselves. How? They are asked to blow into a balloon and draw a self portrait on it once inflated. These will then be displayed all over downtown. They are still asking for volunteers to collect the balloons and I'll be there, so should you! It'll be fun and I'll post here my volunteer experience.
