The TigerTree x Tom's Shoes booth was a bunch of fun. I think that I could sit for a day and take custom shoe orders. So long as you don't request a very long web address and a Phrase that needs to go along the seam of a size 7 womens shoe. It is nice to see the end result of the Ohio shoes and I will try to send out the final pictue of my customs that Groovy doodle shot. Thanks Josh!!!!!

The Turnout and overall vibe was great. I had a great response in my stuido and sold a good bit of work. There did seem to be hesitation on works over say 200 bucks but in the end selling close to 20 pieces small to medium was a great bonus to the weekend. So many studios looks top notch and the building renovations helped with a cleaner look around the galleries.

I was overly impressed with the intallation that Brian Reaume did in studio 107. In the middle of a recession when everyone is trying to make a buck Brian devoted his whole studio to making a point. Although some closed minded folks may have seen a swastika and simply moved on. Those that stopped and interacted with the installation and dialog are the types of people that I love to see make it to JV events. I love and respect all of the Gay artist that call the studio home and feel proud to be part of such an open environment where people of all artistic/personal backgrounds and mediums can co-exist and take it to the next level in harmony.

I don't even know where to start witht he fire show. I only wish that the wind and rain would have not been such an issue. The wind makes the fire far more dangerous and in my case made the aerosol torches almost impossible. The rain delay on the main stage caused the performance to be compromised alittle on time. Either way there are some epic pictures I have already seen and can't wait for the rest.

Thanks to Robert Troutman

Thanks to all that participated and attended the Agora as we all play a role in the fun and sucess level.

Hey guys - I'm s-l-o-w-l-y uploading the pictures I shot from Agora last night, so check back for more uploads later on in the day too. We were there for a few hours, and I managed to squeeze off some photos and attempted to capture the fire show (which looks amazing in video, but the photos...maybe not so much). enjoy!

Where was this at I don't remember seeing that. I got there at 11:30 to check in. After i DJed i hungout and helped at my friends vending spot till around 3 then we went and got lunch and messed around for a bit, but i ultimately ended up staying till 8:30 pm. I wanted to stay for the fire show and dance party, but after running off of 3 hours of sleep the night before, i didn't think i could last another couple of hours.

I felt sorry for some of the outside vendors when the rain came, the people i was helping has some of their art work messed up from the crazy winds and rain that happened.

I loved all of the art. Since i was there at the start i got see all of it without that many people there. I checked your stuff out coreroc, i liked a lot of it, i also liked Gerdy's a lot (he was my media arts teach aswell). I have to admit my favorite of the whole show, and what i thought caught my eye the most was the lady that did the glass etchings, and used the light to cast the shadow of it on the wall so you can see it. I have never seen anything like that, and the other women she shared her studio with had nice stuff too. They both were volunteering, i can't remember their names though.

I got the oppurtunity to video tape my DJ set, i can post the link. I noticed right around 1:20 or so, there was a massive influx of people, and it just kept getting more crowded.

Also here's a link to some more photos that adam crum took of Agora this past weekend.

I always head straight for Laura Alexander's studio - always good!
Coreroc - loved your stuff, too. You guys have a great thing going on at Junctionview!

Thank you miss parker! I say the biggest benefit is that we all get to somewhat build off of each other as we relate like one big family. As Adam Brouillette once said I haven't seen one artist that has moved in to Junctionview that hasn't become obviously better within a pretty short period of time. I thrive off of the environment and use that energy to give back to the viewers at our shows. We are just glad to have people that come to the space and enjoy what we do.

Thanks Amy, I didn't remember the name of the artist. The work was fabulous though!
