Okay, Creative-ites, listen up:  Our May Day dinner with Reedley Creative will take place at Fresh Start Cafe.  Here’s a map:

In case you’ve forgotten already (or don’t care to look down the page), here are the details: www.reedleycreative.com/?p=92.  In short, you have to bring something you’ve made to give away.  It doesn’t have to be expensive, and it doesn’t even have to be that cool.  It just has to be something – you’ve – made.  (But people will like you more if you bring something cool, so keep that in mind if you care.)

See you May 1!

(Also, thanks to the geniuses at Monkeyraft Studios, Mike Cantu Industries, and Shinn Photography for the new header graphic on the site.  At least one of us risked serious burning to make that happen!)

Here are the rules: Edible, touchable, viewable, foldable.  Come to dinner May 1 with Reedley Creative at 6 pm.  Bring something that fits one (or more) of the aforementioned categories.  It has to be something you’ve made, and it has to be something you’re willing to give away.  Location is TBD, but we’ll try to keep the cost reasonable.  We’ll all go out to dinner together, talk about and exchange the stuff we’ve made, and generally have a good time.  There’s been talk of a musical jam session somewhere nearby following dinner.  I think that sounds cool.

So mark your calendar for May 1 at 6 pm, and watch Facebook for the event invite.  If you haven’t gotten one in a few days, message me on Facebook and we’ll try to get your invited.

The last few people just left the Start event, sponsored by Reedley Creative at Shinn Photography’s new studio. What an awesome group of people! There were folks of all ages both participating and attending, and it seems like we went a long way toward creating some real community. David Borofka read some great work, Mike Cantu read some of his older and newer poetry, Nick McIntyre shared some of the songs he’s written, and a whole host of people shared their art work. The artwork included photos, video, pottery, mixed media, oil paintings, and other forms. But the coolest part was the connections I saw forming around the room. We really do have an impressive community of creative people in Reedley. I’m curious to see where this goes.

Anyone have any ideas for the next event?

Hey, everybody! It’s 3/6/09! Are you ready? Have your black turtlenecks and sensible shoes on? Feeling creative? Ready to bust loose after a long week and meet the coolest people in town at the hippest new scene? I have it on good authority that the Mayor of Reedley probably won’t be in attendance. So come on down to Shinn Photography’s new studio on G Street at 6:30 pm. If you park on G street and don’t see it, listen for the sounds of cool and follow them. See you there!
