MY 8 FOOT WIDE YARD

city kids know how to make due. we know that a strand of parlor lights, a grill and a few chairs are all that you need to create an impromptu "yard". sans mowing.

nothing like a good concert to get the ~~summer~~ ~~spring~~ -whatever this is- started! seriously, what is like where you live? here, it was snowing one day and 80 the next. no exaggeration. it was 82 today. what is going on!? not complaining though. i'll take sweat over frost bite any day.

columbus is very different from what I'm use to. most people think of northside as a sort of a "hipster" town? i guess? (that sounds so annoying) and when we visit other places, i sort of agree. i hate to categorize us, but what are ya gonna do?? i felt a little out of place from lack of wearing a lacoste polo, but hey- they knew how to throw a great concert! until next time, Ohio state!

THE BIG DINNER: MODERN MAKERS

if there's two things i love to get down on it's a local event and food. and last night my artsy fartsy friend Laura invited me out to the dreamiest of events. it's put on by two ladies that started modern makers and i really loved what they are bringing to our area. anyways, the entire show was centered around food. salty, sweet, bitter. you get the idea. there are waaaay too many photos in this post, but i just couldn't help it. there was just too much good material there! the playlist was hilarious (all food oriented) we ate off of clipboards. and we were literally picking the food off of the wall. amazing. talented. delicious.

oh that? that's just an interpretive dance featuring homemade lollipops. fanfreakingtastic.

there was a very interesting/educational ?? video playing up on the wall. i feel smarter.

and this, my friends, is the reason i came. my friend Laura made this piece and i'm obsessed with it. she makes these little precious rodents and takes them all over cincinnati. she takes their photo then leaves them there. she passed out a bunch to us and now we get to be a part of the project. i'm taking some up to our coffee shop today and i'm sure they'll love it. oh, and we gotta hashtag #themouseproject on our photos. how fun is that??

i didn't even notice when i first got the event that there were some outside. how cute is this!?!? i know, i know- art is not really suppose to be cute. but.... they're mice in a can! c'mon!
