MELISSALAND

Ah, I can’t believe this show is almost over. It’s been great fun these past few weeks - definitely one of my favorites. We have scheduled an artist talk for the closing weekend and both Robert Flynt and David Lebe will be joining us in person. Gary Schneider (and possibly Warren all the way from Greece) will be joining remotely via Skype (don’t you love technology!)

Anyway, if you would like to attend (yes!) come by the gallery this Saturday at 5 O’Clock. Promise it will be fun, these guys are great and I could listen to them talk all night long (they won’t though)

AND, if you can’t make it to the gallery, or you live far, far away….you can listen in online on WGXC, the new community-run (kick ass) radio project:

So there. Now you have no excuse not to catch this

So, a few days ago I tweeted how I was about to spend an evening with a bag of fig newtons, one of my favorite cookies. The next day Jim Vasilow of Vasilow’s came by the gallery with the most delicious concoction for me:

CHOCOLATE COVERED FIG NEWTONS!

Heaven.

(I am very glad he only brought me two of these, because truthfully, I could have eaten many more)

Apparently, Jim’s creativity does not stop with fig newtons, you can also get chocolate-covered fortune cookies and twizzlers from his shop.

I love living in a small community where everyone not only WANTS to learn about each other, but goes out of their way to make you feel good. To me, Hudson is definitely home, and this is just one example why. I am proud to live in such a fantastic little city.

If you happen to be in Hudson, go visit Jim at Vasilow’s. Ask for the fig newtons
