It's the time of year for rain, and we are getting nice and wet. The leaves are falling faster as a result, but that's OK too. I got all my books inside and on the shelves. I won't tell you how long some of them have been in boxes, but I can enjoy them now.

In The Community: The Hockaday Museum of Art is taking shape after some serious interior dismantling. I'll be fixing our wobbly benches next, doing some minor spot-painting, and wrestling with a stubborn spot or two on our glass cases before our reception on Thursday, October 25.

Media Watch: Some work of my own! As the reader might have noticed above, I've added a page to my Biographica section of Theatrex-Net. I was by no means a deeply-involved participant of the Punk-Rock and New Wave scenes in Salt Lake City during the 80's, but I knew some people who were, and saw some interesting things. I wasn't exactly broke, but I was VERY busy, and I wish I would have had the time to get around more.


Some images from my REAL SLC Punk page: (Above) That's a sketched-in likeness of me, my bicycle, and Temple Square at the right, relative to an outdoor Punk concert called Rock Against Reagan in 1984. (Below) My friends Linda Meyer, Lisa Verstieg, and Al Grazzi -- bona fide participants in Salt Lake City's Punk and New Wave scenes.
