Open Studios: Weekend 1, October 4, 2011

Summary: I showed, I talked, I sold some things. The interactive display on immigration went very well. Two people got tears in their eyes just thinking about their family. Pretty cool.

I met an old roommate and some neighbors of a person in one of my paintings. Maybe my subject will show up next weekend.

I think the political/social commentary stuff went over well.
It didn't seem to scare anyone off - at least that reaction wasn't obvious to me.

I'm considering rearranging my studio for weekend two. Why not?
