This Saturday is Luminara.
We are set. Ever since being pregnant and walking around searching for evergreen trees to pee under, D and I have thought about what it would be like to bring Frankster to the party.
Luminara - it's a lantern festival here in the city. They almost cancelled it due to the damage to the park (large crowds, big feet) and the precarious commercial funding, which was prohibited from displaying large-scale advertisements. Of course, we all know large scale advertising publicity is the only reason business will fund unprofitable projects (insert large sigh here). However, even though these large funding sources are still not allowed to advertise, they are still keeping the festival alive.
See? There's hope!
(Just as aside (and I know I'll get wonderful comments and emails regarding this), frankly this "all big businesses are mean and evil and want to take over our minds" crap is getting to me. Lets work with them, okay? I'm sick of the Big Brother argument creeping into every non-profit, charity, environmental cause related meeting I go to. It's not a war; we just need to change the way we think about things. Many many many many many businesses are a-okay. Even wonderful!)
Okay, good to get that out.
I wish Chair, J and Theya were here to see the festival. This year there is going to be a installation by Group Mellon. They are "inspired by the beauty of the Luminara Festival and a love of Tolkien. The centerpiece of the Mellon Installation is a rendering of the Gates of Moria from J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings”. The additional banners that spread outward from the Gates are also inspired by Tolkien’s works."
“They have the hue and beauty of all these things under the twilight of Lórien that we love; for we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.”
Holy geek fest. I liked the book and the movie and all, but Wow.
I'm looking forward to seeing Gordon Roy Martin from the Freedom Erotica Art Gallery. Something about an orb. Sounds cool.
That reminds me, Briana! Perhaps you should submit your nude to the above gallery. You could do a series. You could be famous. You could be rich. You could paint all day and night. You could... you could...
Okay. I'll back down now.
Break over. Back to work.
I wish I had went to see luminara when I was out there sounds really beautifull. Erotica is a funny thing. I mean it's hard to nail down what it is. Nude is simple we all have it and struggle what it means to us but I think erotic is differant for differant people.
I was surprised to see my husband ..the Mr. Gordon Martin you are referring to here, has an Erotica Art Gallery. Who would have thunk it, a appliance serviceman during the day and Erotica Art Gallery guy at night..wowza..just when you think you know your man! Well he is actually sort of an orb!

Ah hell, I wish we were there, too, not just for the Tolkien Geek Factor, but because since you first told me about it I wanted to see it, it sounds so beautiful.
One of these years, dammit.
Thanks for thinking of me, though. It's nice to be an appreciated geek.
