This weekend is going to be full of fun!! I can’t wait. I am going to the Renegade Craft Fair Saturday and buy tons of things. I figure I can start some major gift buying, (so it doesn’t all have to be for me, because I pretty much want everything). It is going to be fantastic. I have a list of vendors that I must buy from. Then there are other vendors that didn’t have websites or they were closed to get ready for the fair. I think it will be really exciting to meet all of these people who just live out there in the web world.

A couple of weeks ago I went on location at work. We were painting in the Plaza Hotel, which they are closing for renovations and opening in a couple of years to have long term apartments as well as a limited number of hotel rooms. It was really weird in there. Like the Shinning, but people were totally trying to buy a piece of it. Sometimes not even buying just stealing. We were shooting in the presidential suite and someone had kicked down the door to get in and pilfer. Vultures had descended onto the hotel. They were selling everything. Uniforms, towels. I was on the higher floors where they didn’t allow the regular folks to go but Christies was there tagging things they were going to auction off later. I brought the Holga and got some really interesting shots. Some of them didn’t really turn out because it was super dark. But there was a room of hangers (that shot didn’t turn out) - literally a pile of hangers taller than me-, and a room where the bed was totally pulled out from the wall (trying to see if the printers can make that happen). Scary and weird. The view of Central Park was to die for (those pictures turned out). It was storming that afternoon, so hopefully the ones with the heavy clouds will translate in the photograph.
