I was hoping to catch up on my blogging (I'm not even reading my favorite ones right now, as much as I used to), but I just learned of more homework that will help me in my final project, which is a biggie. So, I don't have the time to catch up.
The fall has finally arrived in New Orleans! I went bike riding twice this past weekend, and I didn't faint from the heat. I loved looking at Lake Pontchartrain and the blue skies.
I attended a lecture by artist William Cordova. His work is really modern, and I don't understand everything, but it was interesting to hear.
Here are some of his works:

The interesting fact that he revealed is that since graduating he has built up a body of work and has made many contacts in the art world by applying and receiving artist's residencies. He didn't want to be a "starving" artist and didn't want to work at a day job and come to his studio, with little energy to do art. He says that since the recession, more artists are starting to do what he has been doing. Smart idea. He is currently at a residency in A Studio in the Woods.
Later that evening, I was the "bartender" at the opening for Cemeteryscape exhibit opening, at Hotel Le Cirque. I I served wine for this benefit for Save Our Cemeteries. I met a lot of nice people and learned about a new restaurant that I want to go to by talking to one of the chefs there.
