Kevin Bacon has the strong hold on six degrees of separation. . . .in State College, Pennsylvania, there are really only three degrees of separation. That is just how it works here. I don't know if it is because this is my hometown. . . but I am sure that helps. You can never get too far away from anyone. This can be bad or very good.
This summer I met Brit. She is married to my friend Jordan who is a friend of my friend Clay (did you get all of that?). Brit is an amazingly talented artist who sets up shows (in her spare time) for other artists at local restaurants, coffee shops and gallery spaces. Brit was at Clay's house and saw one of my pieces that I did for him last year. When I met her on the concourse of the ballpark at a State College Spikes game, she connected my art work with me. . . her usher.
Oh, the weavings of a small town.
She had an artist cancel on her so she asked me if I was interested in showing my work in Williamsport--a town about an hour down the road. I said, "Of course." And several weeks ago I installed (along with great help from my parents! Thank you!) my latest work in Julie's Coffee Shop close to the corner of Market and Third Street. If you get arrested in Williamsport, know that Julie's Coffee is RIGHT across the street from the court house. Handy!
I'll be up in Julie's until the middle of October. Stop by if you are close!
