Gearing up for POST (Philadelphia Open Studio Tours)

Andi and I have done POST since we moved to Philly in 2007, and this year's no different.  Last year was a bit dicey because most of our work was out in a two person show at Millersville University, but this year we should have a fair amount of inventory around and new stuff to show.

I like POST.  I like the fact that totally random people walk in the door.  I like that some of those people come back every year, I like the social experience of having folks in our studios which for us amounts to having them in our home, in our back yard (our studios are in a carriage house behind our row home).

This week and next week we're probably going to continue cleaning up the attic and doing some general refurb of the space.  In September we'll be too distracted with school starting, a new show at Mount Airy Contemporary, and getting work ready for POST, so if it doesn't happen now, the fall cleaning will never get finished.

Oh, that show at MAC: we're hosting The Suburban.
