Stuff is going just as it should at an awesome art festival. Openings are thicker on the ground than Christmas morning at the Brady's.

House Proud
Receiving an inspection notice from your real estate agent can stir up the similar feeling of dread when you learn that, in ten days, you will be strapped down to have your leg chewed off by pigs. No need to fear, this isn’t an open inspection at your hovel. Rather, you’re invited to inspect other peoples’ houses.
Evergreen Terrace for Unsheltered Workshops
The talented duo behind Evergreen Terrace, Liv Barrett and James Deutsher, have a lateral approach to everything they touch. Treading the line between fashion and art, everything they produce from books to clothing is skewed in a practical, funny way that makes ‘normal’ seem a bit silly.
