Here’s something interesting. A tidbit about bee lore from the Museum of Jurassic Technology. My dear friend Abby describes it as “an art installation disguised as a museum.” That sounds just right to me.

Thank you, Abby, for pointing the way. I’m exploring the site bit by bit. Museum bookstores are a blast and this one’s no exception. I’ve got my eye on “The Carnivorous Syndrome in 3D” among other things…

Are you a radio listener? I’m just about to hop over to KGNU (Boulder’s community radio station) for a SISTER BEE interview. Radio interviews are fun! (You don’t need to worry about what to wear.) Suzanne Connolly-Howes of SISTER BEE will be joining me. Tune in from 8:00 to 8:30-ish am to listen. It’ll be airing live on the morning news. Not sure quite when.

UPDATE Thursday, August 16th 9:45 AM

You can listen to the interview here.

Thank you, KGNU!

Although I’ve got about a month’s worth of thoughts on painting and traveling and keeping bees to share with you, they’ll have to keep… at least for a few days. SISTER BEE news is stacking up and I’ve got some reporting to do.

First and foremost…

You’re warmly invited to attend a special SISTER BEE screening in Boulder this Thursday, August 16th. The kind folks at Boulder County Going Local and Boulder Valley Relocalization are hosting the show. Since they’ve got a strong interest in “what’s happening to the honeybees” the post-film panel discussion is going to be a key part of the show. Panelists include Suzanne Connolly-Howes, Julie Finley and Marge McLellan (all lovely, all featured in SISTER BEE). I’ll be there too! Hope to see you.

Finally! SISTER BEE is available on DVD. The cost for individuals is $25. The cost for group screenings (bee clubs, schools, libraries, etc…) at which admission is not charged is $75.

If you’re interested in hosting a full scale SISTER BEE event (with music, honeybee discussion, etc…) in your community, please contact me. I’d be delighted to collaborate with you.

Check out Roberta Smith’s take on this summer’s Chelsea scene in the New York Times. The article comes with a slide show. Medium shots of gallery walls. Always nice to see what’s happening in Manhattan.

I’m home! Just got back from a two and a half week SISTER BEE tour (plus vacation) on the East Coast. Had a great time, but boy, it sure does feel good to be home. Heavenly, actually.
