all we do we do 4 foo
Thanks to the efforts of Broadway Bistro and the Insert Art Here team, we managed to rouse a small but very interested attendance, raise a bit of money for a charity in need and replace a fair amount of our bodily fluids with fine wines.
Tom Pierson, one of the co-owners of the bistro, popped by my booth with this suggestion for alternative signage for next year's event:

I'm still wondering whether or not he intended for that sign to read "Will Work 4 Foo"
Update:
I am not one to revise history, so allow me to clarify it.
It has come to my attention that a couple of the artists involved in this event assumed the comments above in some way imply that they were drinking at a charity event hosted by a wine bar.
For the record, I was definitely drinking. Proudly so, in point of fact.
You see, the reason I personally racked up a three digit bar tab over the 10 hours of the event was that I knew that a percentage of every drop I purchased for myself, my friends and my clients was going to be donated to charity.
It was, after all, the point of the event.
So yes, I'm a lush. And no, I don't feel or imply that anyone else is. And this lush is as pleased as punch (or wine, as the case seems to be) that his not being a teetotaler bought a pile school supplies for children in need.

art and soul update
If you remember a few posts back, I mentioned that I was invited to be a guest on an upcoming episode of The Art and Soul of North Texas podcast. I recently got an email from Shelly Niebuhr, the podcast's host, asking if I knew any Mac-using gurus interested in giving her a hand producing the show.
If you are looking for a geeky way to contribute to the arts community, pop by the Art and Soul of North Texas website for details.
