For example, if one of us had an opening reception at a gallery somewhere then everyone would show up with a cup of hot coffee in hand, and then spend the evening trading sips of coffee from each other's cups.<BR/><BR/>Well, it turned out not to be such a practical idea as I first envisioned ("What a stupid idea! You stupid idiot!" is how Kim described it I think). You know, it didn't take long for everyone's coffee to get cold, people were spilling it all the time, there was the issue of drinking out of a cup that 50 other people had been drinking out of, and some people were PO'd that nobody brought biscotti...it was kind of a mess actually.<BR/><BR/>So Kim, in her usual tactful and considerate way suggested to me, "This is bullcrap! Artist Trading Cards would be a better idea than this, you moron!" And so, seeing that she might have a point, I agreed to abandon the Artists Trading Coffee idea and let ATC stand for Artist Trading Cards. <BR/><BR/>I still think that Artist Trading Coffee has potential though...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338006856009324832noreply@blogger.com
