In about two weeks I will be heading to the airport for Denver, far removed from school and the stresses of banality and window glazing and thermal mass and globalization.  Two weeks filled with structures and wall sections and coffee (lots of coffee) and rhino and vray and modeling; 168x2 = 336 frantic hours spent researching, writing, designing, not sleeping, and a little bit of playing.  More nights at slodoco and drunches with the people here that I have come to call my friends, the people that have seen me usually at my worst and rarely at my best but have still stuck around, the people that are sitting across from me at 630 in the morning when neither of us have gone home that night or plan to go home at all.  Is everything figured out? No, but I’m beyond excited to go to Colorado and have been for awhile. What makes me the happiest is knowing that I’ll still have a place here in slo when I come back.

“What the really great artists do is they’re entirely themselves. They’re entirely themselves, they’ve got their own vision, they have their own way of fracturing reality, and if it’s authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings.”
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”
