Greetings! Things have been verrrrrry busy around 'ol Studio 8 and beyond! I now have 3 art students, and they are keeping me on my toes. I have also been working on building an artist networking forum site. I would like for all of the artists that are associated with the CrazyLake Gallery and the National Road Creative Arts & Events Center to have a place to talk art, debate art, critique art, and laugh with each other. But most importantly I am hoping we will be able to put our heads together in finding fun and creative ways to keep promoting our 2nd Friday events and keep the great people coming back and new people aware. 

Shout out to my friends at WQME! They have promised to add our event to their community calendar, and give it some promo reads. By the way, the next event night is Friday, August 8th! So spread the word, mark your calendars and tune in to WQME!

Well it finally happened. I got to see NEIL DIAMOND LIVE!!! What a night! It was a GREAT show, and bless his little sexy singing heart...he gave it his all! And yes, for those of you wondering, I did cry on and off for at least the first 30 minutes of the show. All those songs that I have grown-up with just brought back all kinds of memories! ...and I thought another brick was secured in my life when Sirrius Radio added an all Neil Diamond station!

When I was walking into the arena, I was saying - I just hope he sings my most favourite song ever..."Holly Holy" - and you know WHAT!? He opened with it! So yes...I was done and overwhelmed...he had me at Hello!

 I am just sure he did that for me! I know he overheard me and didn't want to let me down. Plus, I have always wondered if those arenas were bugged...now I know...those arenas are definitely bugged.

The reason for the headline of today's blog is because I could only afford to sit in the nose bleed section...thus Diamond and I was in the sky! But no matter, as I sit here today, blearry eyed from my late night out with Neil, in my new concert tee...and forever in blue jeans babe! I know it was all worth it!

Well tonight is my working night in Studio 8, and I have a lot of work to do! So enough of this lighter-in-the-air  hippie stuff and back to work! Or maybe...I'll just watch the Jazz Singer...one more time!

Until next time!

ROCK ON!
