fingerpainting is not for kids
... mostly because of the work involved with setting up and tearing down.
I literally just need someone(s) to help carry a table and two not-very-heavy boxes in the morning and in the evening. I am not ok with making multiple trips from my car because that means I have to leave something unattended, which tends to be bad news.
I realize that most of you are far away and/or at work in the morning and evening. but there are some of you who are not, and I would be deeply grateful for the assistance. I know I took on this task saying that I could do it all myself and that help was optional, but, well... the scales fell from my eyes pretty fast on friday.
the fingerpainting itself was a HUGE success. I need to take pictures of the paintings I was allowed to keep because they are really very cool. the people coming to the table and talking with or without painting were fascinating, and I had a lot of interesting conversations with random people. a bunch of them were interested in visiting the website and going to a meeting, and I felt bad that I had nothing to hand them. one girl dropped off her name and email address. the story of the paper-flogging teacher has been met with amused approval. our very own club president went through two sheets of paper in his artistic explorations. paintings ranged from a sunset landscape, katakana (courtesy two girls fresh from a Japanese final), jackson pollack-esque abstracts, to a christmas tree haunting in its tender simplicity, and a DNA strand coupled with a mitochondrion (that is the singular, right?). also yoda.
does anyone have extra business cards?
I have the THEM banner now! aaron/blondman found it. so that's going on the table this week.

I hope this week's painting will be just as successful! : )
and in case you forgot by this time, I would love some help. I am pretty darn flexible on times, so if 9am isn't your cup of tea, I will happily postpone to 10, for example.
