Oh no... I'm already using musical references for titles and we haven't even left the ground yet! And that of an 80's Swedish bad-hair band no less (remember Europe and their megalithic hit?). Oh well, blame Todd, he started it. We are at the 15 day mark with a lot to do before we travel (not to mention work at our jobs). Luckily, we have a few fall break days coming up so that I can go and talk with the bank about how to get crisp and untattered currency. It evidently makes the finest bait for pickpockets. We (I should say Lynne and Andie) put a package together to send to Genevieve with a bunch of cute stuff, original artwork from Andie, and a photo album so she can thoroughly check us out prior to us nabbing her on the big day. I did pay the postage. I'm sure the nannies will have fun with that disposable camera. The idea is that they will take a bunch of pictures of her thumbing through our photo album as she awaits our arrival. I envision them having a stockpile of them somewhere within the SWI? We have our reservations and will fly out on Oct 25th and return with Genevieve on November 9th. We will fly to Hong Kong for the first leg of the event. I'm not sure how long we stay there before moving on to Nanchang for the big day.
Prior to our departure I decided a while back to throw in a solo exhibition on the 20th at the gallery just for kicks. It seemed like a good idea about 8 months ago, as I figured at the rate the CCAA was moving our actual referral would coincide with my first social security check...but alas, all you have to do to get the ball rolling is plan something that could potentially conflict with said event and the stars will immediately align. If you are reading this consider yourself invited to the opening of
Evergreen 2007 at Blowing Rock Frameworks and Gallery.
We enjoyed an Asheville wedding this past weekend as our good friend Ted married our new friend Sharon on a beautiful farm on the outskirts of the city. Andie enjoyed the horses, the bagpiper and running on the grassy hillside with numerous other earth sprites in attendance while Wes massively overate at the incredible buffet. Sharon owns and operates a great downtown Asheville restaurant,
Tupelo Honey Cafe , so we are excited about what she brings to the table in this relationship. After yet another awesome meal (brunch at her restaurant) the next morning we were off to Target for China supplies. I would have photos of all above but left my new camera at home like a dufus. I can tell something big is in the air...I am beginning to glaze over and misplace things very often, several times a day at least. I hope that some ASU student enjoys the brand new North Face rain jacket I left on the back of the food court chair on Monday. I am still grieving over that one. Stay tuned, i will try and remember the camera for China.
Happy marriage Ted and Sharon! WES

Were heading for venus and still we stand tall / Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all / With so many light years to go and things to be found / I'm sure that well all miss her sooo.... ahhh, Europe. Brings back memories of acid wash days and Dark-Side-of-the-moon-lazer-show nights.
We sent the nannies 2 disposable cameras, and they fully shot both. The place next to the 7-11 will develop the pictures and give you a CD cheaply enough (comperable to a one-hour photo back home). This is important since a) it gives you something to look at while your sittin' on your buttoxial-region for weeks and b) will keep the x-ray machines at the airport from rurnin' yor film.
Good luck with the showing... I don't think I can make it.
All gong well, we'll be home on Sunday the 28th. Let as know when you get back to Boone and we can get our girls and their new siblings together!
