tuesday

woke at 4:45am, couldn't go back to sleep. got up at 5:30, left the house in the cold rain. stopped by TBM to drop off the misprints and subscriber copies of the sound opinions reprint, then went down to screwball. stopped for chai. at screwball, i curated the 'animals & objects' prints, counted, signed and numbered the run of 280 by 9am, when i loaded them into the car and left.

stopped by hot dougs to drop off posters, then went to touch & go and beans & bagels. stopped to see gini, who makes greyhound jackets, who made a new jacket for seth. visited with her dogs, morgan and betsy, for a while, before buying new pencil leads at cvs, on the way to sonnenzimmer.

at nick's, i spent the whole day signing and numbering the sound opinions prints. around 1pm, i got sleepy and napped on the couch (sitting up) for 20 minutes. around 3:30, i finished, packed the prints into the car, and headed south on lake shore drive, to navy pier. todd from sound opinions took the prints, and i made a quick stop in a studio with matt cunningham, who asked me a few questions about the ispace show, for a tiny piece he'll be doing in the next couple days. after three questions, he took me upstairs to see the sound opinions folks. i talked to jim and greg about my bloody valentine. they wanted to know which animal in the poster was which one of them. jim is shorter than i remember.

from navy pier, i went to hang posters: west to rotofugi (visit with whitney, draw on bathroom wall), then to renegade handmade (hi sue), then to reckless (photobooth with christian), then to quimby's (hi liz), and finally back onto the highway, still in the rain, and home.

di had a fire going, i made tomato and chevre on toasted bread with olive oil, and we watched 'rescue dawn'. amazing.

now trying to catch up on emails (i'm so far behind), and trying to start a simple poster for the january dianogah show, as a test of mat's new press, so we can run the long-long overdue metropolis prints there.

probably sleep soon, it's midnight.
