William's open studio

 For the Cathedral Festival, William was part of the tour of artist studios today. We had about 35 people come by, most staying for over an hour, so it was a busy evening. Some of my students came too and I took the opportinity to give away a film projector, some films, and some cameras. 

Picture pleasures

 Tim showed us a photo he took of the baby ducks leaving the Balkwill courtyard today. I painted a video camera. After lunch I took mom to the MacKenzie so she could see the Maia Start exhibition since she purchased one of Maia's works a couple months ago. Mom really loved the collaboratios that Sylvia and Yuji had on display. 

New robot shelf

 I built this shelf in the garage to display, and get out of the way, William and Emma's robot costume. 

Cathedral Festival begins with parade

Big Bad Mooky the Wolf

 During the parade, in which Margaret and William participated and I also saw Mooky as a wolf, we went to the Balkwill where I drew my first Canister comic in a couple of years and I collaborated with Gerri Ann Siwek on a couple comics, something which has now solidified into a tradition. 

Preparing puppets

 William is doing some modifications to the puppet designs so that he'll have more to show on his open studio day later this week. 

Rania's play

 We attended Rania Alharthi's play "Checkpoint" at the ShuBox with Q&A with her and director Kathryn Bracht afterwards. 

Snow!?

 And in the next few hours, snow fell. This is supposed to be a warm weekend. 

What is the weather doing?

 May long weekend is about to start, but strange white material is hitting the deck.
