I'm back and ready to go for some more weekly Artist Dates. I took over three months off, but I still did manage to go on many Artist Dates over the summer, I just did not make it a weekly venture, nor did I blog about it. I wasn't sure if I was going to continue blogging my Artist Dates this time around. But then I went and read over all I did and saw from September 2010 to May 2011, and what I wrote, and I actually forgot some of the things I did. I enjoyed reading over my thoughts for each date I went on. I will continue this blog just for myself, like writing in a personal diary all the things I do and see. It makes a nice remembrance, plus I can add pictures easily. I had a pretty low key summer, mostly due to my mother-in-law being in the hospital from April 7th thru August 25th. But I still managed to get out a bit and saw some things.
I went to a few theatre festivals and a couple of plays: The Pandora Festival at The Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, The Summer Shorts Festival at The Theatre Artists Studio, Hairspray and And Then There Were None at Desert Stages Theatre.
I saw only a couple of the summer films, but these were definitely my type of movies. I saw Super 8, The Tree of Life, Another Earth, and Life In A Day.
Managed to get to Kierland Commons twice for their summer concert series and saw Apple and Groove Merchants perform.
I attended my monthly UFO, Aliens and ET meet-up group hosted by a local Cherokee Indian. I attended a MUFON lecture with guest speaker Richard Dolan, author of A.D. After Disclosure. I participated in a four month long workshop with a local shaman on Universal Consciousness. I also attended a few lectures on astrological predictions for 2011, Comet Elenin and the Mayan Calendar. NO FEAR...the world is NOT ending, so don't invest in an underground bunker. The only thing changing is the consciousness on this beautiful planet. :-) This is all just a BIG WAKE-UP CALL for humanity.
Well that pretty much sums up my summer activities for the most part. I didn't work on any creative type projects this summer. The only thing I got a little creative with is all the dust that was dumped on us on July 5th. When the Universe gives you some dust all you can do is have some fun with it, and always remember to turn your present situation into a creative example of Divine flow. Life is good even with a little dust.
Fun is a sacred dimension.
