Thanks to everyone that came out to artscape this weekend. We had so much fun in the Charm City Craft Mafia booth meeting all of you and wilting gracefully with each other. Thank you for buying shirts during a recession, and for telling me that you read this blog. It means far more than you know... and most of all, it ensures that I feel obligated to put more on here!
Anyway, despite the heat, we met some wonderful people, saw a few of the shows that opened on Thursday night, including the midway, the sondheim semi-finals, Penned, and the outdoor lounge- which included my favorite sculpture at artscape: the pants ramp, and did some of the best people watching we've had all year! I came home Sunday night exhausted and happy to be back in Baltimore again after our two week stint in NH earlier this month (really... more details to come, i swear).
Although it steals our soul and beats us over the head with a nasty sunburn every year, we LOVE LOVE LOVE that artscape happens here in Baltimore. It's the largest free arts festival in the COUNTRY, and brings out thousands of people that would otherwise have not seen our shirts. This year, it also included so many familiar faces with the addition of the DIY and Midway sections that it felt like Baltimore might just have borrowed our souls this year instead of stealing them.... and used them to decorate.
(SAY WHAT?) In conclusion, What a cool city we live in, I wish I had seen even more of artscape, you are all heroes for braving the heat and sweaty crowds.
A bit of a sad Update: my favorite sculpture, The Pants Ramp, was accidentally destroyed in the take-down of artscape on Sunday night. Go HERE for more information, and to show support for all of the people that built the ramp in the hottest days of summer. It was slotted to be up for a whole year, but was partially torn apart. There is word of a rebuild though. You should help! what else are you gonna do!?
