First Tracts Show!

This Friday and Saturday the tracts that have returned from their travels are going to be on display at Saltgrass Printmaking Studio in Salt Lake City for the Sugarhouse gallery stroll. There will be refreshments, two other printmaking shows, and Friday: there's gonna be a Bluegrass band. This will be a full-contact show-- you can pick up the tracts, find the little treasures tucked inside (train ticket stubs, letters, notes, and, actually a package of eyeglass lens cleaner. And more.) Check it out if you're in the area!

Friday: 5pm-10pm

Saturday: 1pm-5pm

afternoon muleing about in sacramento

April 22, 2009

I figured I'd have to hit Sacramento. There is a big railroad museum there, and it is, after all, where the project all started with the Burning Hell. I went in the afternoon, just stopped by on my trip from Salt Lake to San Francisco, and dropped off a few of the tracts that I'd been holding back (I kept a few just in case their brethren didn't come back to us.) 

I ended up talking to four amazing people. I have to say: I'm so amazed at how easy it is to bond with complete strangers over art. I chatted with Luis for awhile inside, and then went outside and talked with a couple other people, and when I came back Luis had finished his track (it was How to Get Where You've Left, Mary Suddaby and Kelly Packer's tract) and he was like, "I love it! I mean I looove it! It's like, it's like, you're right there with her on the trip..." and we talked about art and writing and traveling for a bit longer before I continued on to San Francisco to meet up with some of the tract writers in a dive bar in Potrero Hill.

I was so happy.

Where are you guys? How was your trip?
