THE ART OF BROWNSVILLE - COMMENTS

Ok. So I've been in Brownsville for about 1.5 days. I am also realizing that my pool of friends is shrinking. How sad. People get married, move, have babies, get new friends, have lives, and so on...and in the end you feel like this big loser with no friends. Which isn't true, but it feels like that. Is this what happens as you get older? No, I think this is the sort of thing that happens when you've been away at college for 5 years.

But so far, I have been plugging Fronteras Cruzadas to many different people (which is keeping me on a schedule) and will begin work on my artwork in my backyard. My dad and I are going to be cutting plywood and glueing shoes down! I am going shoe hunting which I always find as a blast! I attended my first Comadrazo with the Brownsville Comadres . It was fun to meet these women from the Valley and they were all very receptive to the program and wanting to support our effort. I am glad to know this.

I am also headed to McAllen tommorrow to visit the RGV Texas Commission on the Arts satellite office. (As I write this, the Dave Matthews song comes into my head...lol) NEways, yes, I am heading into ENEMY territory. As some or some may not know, McAllen and Brownsville have a friendly air of competition between them. Most of it bickering as to what mall has the more popular chain stores in it. Well anyways, I hope to get loads of info tommorrow concerning Rio Grande Valley cultural policy.

Glad to know you like the blog Frank. Don't you like how in my last entry, I included the word HOPE like 100 times? I need to reread what I write more often.
