On a sadder note, an aquiantance of mine, Joel Starr, whom I have known since the 5th grade, has recently passed away. He died in Brazil.
Joel was in the coffee business, but had many many other talents...Dj...videographer, great friend...... He was an amazing guy; creative, smart, compassionate, and had the warmest, most real smile.
Rest In Peace, Joel.

The Spirited Daughters Art Exhibition is open now. It has been getting a fair amount of press, and an article will be coming out this Wednesday (June 25th, 2008). I will update the link once the publication is finalized.
I was the exhibition advisor for the Spirited Daughters Art Exhibit and the designer of the Poetry chapbook. Although the exhibition was for women ages 10-25, committee members regardless of age were able to exhibit artwork.
The exhibition is open until July 30th.
