Reviews, Recipes, and Random Slices of Life

Ah, I finally get around to writing up the Bush Artist retreat highlights, from the perspective of the fly on the wall. The 2008 Bush Artist Fellows are an impressive (and photogenic) bunch. Follow that link to learn more about them and their award-winning art. As I said in my earlier post, everybody was witty and charming and talented, the orientation events were educational, the reception was fabulous, and the Fellows deserved their wins.


Did I mention the reception was fabulous?

( Notes from the educational presentations. )

Now I've finished getting the photos ready and writing up the retreat just in time to take a deep breath and dive into my next major event. That would be the Fourth Street Fantasy conference, which I'm attending this weekend. It's my first writer's conference. I hope they'll be gentle.

Personally, I generally get all vague and tune-out when it comes to lots of photographs of people, so I'll just post this one of the Ragged Robin photoshoot with chesh. Yes, I got two rolls of photos back that had been shot ages ago. The entire set will be put up on my Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aswiebe/. I'm still fiddling with it a bit, but eventually I'll set up an RSS feed for it on LJ, maybe do some other fun stuff.
